ALPHA United have a point to prove and plan on lifting their first Futsal title come this Saturday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. 

Known as `The Hammer’ Alpha inched closer to the Stag Beer Futsal first prize after lynching Western Tigers 5-1 in one of two semifinals played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, Saturday night.
“It is a deserved victory for us. We have been training hard and we have been playing hard. I am convinced that we are the tournament’s favourites at this time,” Alpha’s coach Wayne `Wiggy’ Dover said.
Travis `Zorro’ Grant and Dwight Peters combined with an own goal to give Alpha a 3-0 lead at halftime. Chris Camacho and Daniel Wilson netted the other goals. Seon Hope scored the lone goal for the toothless Western Tigers.
“We have not won any Futsal tournament and now this one is in our reach. We would like to win this and dedicate it to our president Mr Odinga Lumumba who has done so much for our club. He had spoken to the guys before the start of this competition and I think that it really made an impact. At this moment all we are doing is focusing on the final,” Dover added.
To date, Alpha United have remained unbeaten having brushed aside Beacon 4-1 in their opening match of the round-robin segment. Renaissance then felt the full weight of the hammer with a 12-1 humiliation. Alpha next turned their attention to GDF who were whipped 5-1.
In the quarter-final stage Alpha blanked defending champions Fruta Conquerors 6-2 and now have the pleasure of battling Riddim Squad in the final. Riddim Squad took Santos by surprise in the other semifinal on Saturday night and won by a 3-0 margin.
“We have come here with a mission and that is to win. I am expecting that when we meet Riddim Squad on Saturday victory would be ours. I can assure our fans that there would be no letting up. We would be applying unrelenting pressure,” declared Dover.
Western Tigers and Santos will feature on Saturday in the clash for third place. The competition is being sponsored by Elaine’s Ville, Hits and Jams and Ansa McAl.
