A SOLD-OUT crowd witnessed a spectacular night of competition as the curtain came down on the GT Beer Futsal tournament with the remarkable Bent Street side claiming the inaugural title over Sparta Boss in the final at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Sunday.Bent Street put a fitting end to their eighth finals run with an 8-6 win over Sparta to end their five-win streak and cart off the top prize of $500 000. Sparta had to settle for the runner-up prize of $250 000.

Minutes before the action unravelled GT Beer brand manager Jeff Clement, NAMILCO Finance Controller Fitzroy McLeod, GFF Finance Director Kareem Jones, Petra Organisation Director Troy Mendonca and GFF Accountant Christine Jones met the first GT Beer Futsal finalists.
The tournament favourites from the beginning, Sparta drew first blood in the fourth minute when the consistent Sheldon Shepherd sent a shot from the right that was deflected and made its way into the top of the net.
Bent Street with an emphatic answer two minutes later tied things up to heat up both sides of the crowd Colin Nelson placed a powerful freekick into the lower right corner from the left one minute before he gave his side their first lead of the night.
Shepherd levelled the score line in the ninth but Bent Street went into the half leading after Okeene Fraser scored in the 14th.
In the second half, Sparta got things going immediately scoring one minute in, as Shepherd recorded his third easily, following a one-two pass combination with Travis Grant. Sparta then featured in a defensive error which allowed Bent Street to lead 4-3. Phillips who played a part in the own goal made up for the error and equalised.
Another error by Sparta put Bent Street back on top much to the displeasure of the Sparta supporters. A simple back pass to create some room went under the leg of the goalkeeper Maurice Prince who tipped the score line 5-4.
Bent Street approached victory lane seven minutes before the regulation time whistle when Steffon Ramsay intercepted a lobbed clearance on the right side of the field and volleyed it into the top left hand corner, which sent the crowd into frenzy.
Sparta Boss completely shifted the match with two quick goals a minute apart, compliments of Grant and Carl Tudor to level 6-6 and set up a nail-biting finish.
However, Nelson then scored a goal that rocked the venue with roars of celebrations in the 26th minute. That goal sealed his hat-trick but hungry for more goals Nelson put the victory beyond doubt the very next minute with his helmet-trick goal which took the fight out of Sparta.
