Northern United All-Stars are Gros Islet Football League Champs

Northern United Young Stars put up a good showing but in the end lost to their big club brothers Northern United All-stars on penalty kicks, in the recent final of the Gros Islet Football League District Representative competition, commonly referred to as “The Spider Cup”. Surprisingly, the teams played to a scoreless draw after regulation time, despite the fact that All-stars had a one-man advantage when Linus Clovis of Young Stars received a red card from referee Sabina Kerton.

A penalty shootout decided the winner with the All-stars prevailing 4-3 to claim the coveted title, and big payday that went along with it. In the third place play-off that preceded the final, GMC United shut out Monchy FC 1-0, with Tonius Simon scoring the winning goal in the 17th minute of play. Following the final there was a brief prize-giving ceremony with District Representative for Gros Islet, Lenard Montoute, among the officials in attendance. Montoute congratulated Northern United All-stars and Northern United Young Stars for making it through to the finals. He also commended all teams who competed in the tournament.

 He referred to the tournament as a “protracted competition” due to the
length of time it took to complete and went to say: “At the end of the day I think we can safely say we had a wonderful season. I look forward, as parliamentary representative, to next year once again sponsoring the Spider Cup, and look forward to keen rivalry and competition next year.”

Following his brief remarks the following awards were presented: Most Goals, Troy Greenidge; Tournament Emerging Youth Player, Nahum Etienne; MVP of the Final and MVP of the Tournament, Giovanni Deterville.
