STEWARTVILLE GUNNERS AND SHOWSTOPPERS FACE OFF
Many contested but only Stewartville Gunners and Showstoppers made it through to the final and will face each other tonight for the top place in the inaugural Stag Beer ‘West Side’ 5-a-side football tournament at the Vergenoegen Rice Mill Tarmac from 20:00hrs. Before the showdown which will see the winner pocketing $200,000, De Kendrend Village and New Road Eagles are set to clash in the game that will determine the tournament’s third and fourth place teams.

But the Stewartville team attired in full ‘Gunners’ (Arsenal) replica apparel equalized through Dwayne Charles at the start of the second half (21st minute), Orette Stephenson extended the lead three minutes later.
Donald Bobb then put the icing on the cake in the 38th minute to seal the win and send Stewartville Gunners through to the final. The evening’s second game produced a big 6-2 win for Showstoppers over New Road Eagles.
New Road Eagles raced to an early lead when Simon Emmanuel opened his team’s account in the second minute. Dexroy Adams scored his first of four goals in the 16th minute, following up with strikes in the 24th, 25th and 36th minute. Anthony Sancho (34) and Winston Johnson (39) where the other scorers for Showstoppers. Ravi Chand (27) was the other scorer for New Road Eagles.
Apart from the $200,000 going to the team that triumphs in tonight’s finals, the runner-up is set to take home $100,000 while third and fourth will receive $75,000 and $25,000 respectively.
