In what was a competitive game until the deciding goals were scored in the second half, both sides played their hearts out to gain control.
The deadlock was broken in the 63rd minute in stunning fashion. After a foul was committed on the right wing, the free kick was taken on the edge of the 18 yard box by Matthew Richards.
Up went the head of Keon Hall who rose between two defenders to beat Rawle Adams in goal to his left with a well placed header.
After the deadlock was broken, Plant Maintenance continued to gain the upper hand. A forced defensive blunder due to the constant pressure by the champions created the second goal.
General Services failed to clear the ball cleanly and the lurking Ryan Noel was there to unleash a powerful shot that rocked the nets in the 75th minute which put paid to any ideas General Services would have had of coming back into the game.
Former national left wing defender Kenney Williams was awarded the Most Valuable Player Award and Mines’ Melisha ‘Ibby’ Gamble won the Penalty Shootout for women. In the third place game Mines humbled Plant Operations 5-1.
