ALPHA United have the tools necessary to win Banks Beer Knockout football competition, and would be displaying all when they meet GDF in the final at the National Stadium on Thursday. 

Club coach Wayne `Wiggy’ Dover believes that the toughest battle is yet to be fought and envisages that Thursday is `D Day’. However, he is confident that his side would be intensifying the pressure and when the smoke clears, Alpha would be victorious.
“I am very confident that we will take this title. We know what we want and how to get it. We worked hard and have the necessary tools to be crowned champions,” Dover declared just after Alpha had brushed aside Western Tigers 3-1 in Sunday’s semifinal.
The tournament favourites have netted 41 goals and conceded only one in five games, scoring at an enviable average of eight goals per game. Alpha humiliated Blackwater 17-0 then embarrassed Northern Rangers 16-0. Police then received a 2-0 defeat while GFC were brushed aside 3-0 in the quarterfinal.
Marksmen Daniel Wilson has fired in a whopping 11 goals while midfielder Dwayne `Dunggin’ Jacobs is one behind on 10.
“We have been attacking well and defending well. If one should take all of this into consideration then I can’t see why we shouldn’t be the winners of the final,” reasoned Dover.
He added that Alpha have the psychological advantage of having defeated GDF 1-0 in this year’s Namilco final. “With all this said I can assure you that we are not an overconfident team. We have our eyes on the prize and there would be no slip-ups.”
The winners of Thursday’s game will take home $3 million.
