Atkinson Brothers FC claim Female, U17 & Senior titles; Rising Sons take U15
Atkinson Brothers Football Club walked away with three of the four tournaments which were contested as part of the ninth edition of the Atkinson Brothers 5-Aside Football Tournament that concluded on Boxing Night at the Moruca Sports Ground.
The only trophy that eluded the organizers was the Under-15 which was won by Raising Sons which defeated Atkinson Brothers FC in the final 2-1 in extra time. Both goals for the champs were scored by Clenzy Joseph; they also collected $10,000 in cash apart from the trophy.
In the Under-17 final, Atkinson Brothers FC turned back the challenge of Raising Sons via kicks from the penalty mark; goalkeeper Henry ‘Chuchy’ Phillips, who also stands between the uprights for the senior team, pulled off two remarkable saves that sealed the win for them, 3-2. The winners also received a $10,000 cash prize.
In the female competition, ABFC easily took care of business against Kyrie Flames who they whipped, 2-0, Annalisa Vincent netting both goals to secure the top prize of $100,000 and trophy.
And in the men’s competition, defending champions Atkinson Brothers successfully defended their title by trouncing Jungle Warriors 4-1 compliments of a hat-trick from Dion Narine, Renaldo Rodriguez scoring the other. They pocketed the top prize of $200,000.
