SILVER Shattas clobbered their way past Capital FC, 6-3, to deservedly win the Mice and Jermaine Linden futsal championship trophy and the $700,000 prize.
The tournament concluded last Sunday at the Retrieve Hard Court in Linden.
Playing in the final the Shattas were led to their first title in recent memory, by hat-tricks off the boots of Jermaine Samuels and Jonah Simon.
Samuels was later credited with the Most Goals Trophy having tallied 16 goals in total.
His triple scores were registered in the first half as Shattas took control 5-2, as teammate Simon completed his brace.
In that first session, Devonte Tappin and Selwyn Barnes got the goals for Capital FC.
Omarion Ramsammy got the other Capital FC goal in the second half while Simon completed his brace.
Capital FC received $400,000 and a trophy for second place.
At the conclusion of the tournament the Shattas’ Omar Williams was adjudged the Most Valuable Player and received a motorcycle compliments of Malitt Trucking Service.
Topp XX was adjudged the Most Disciplined team and Patrick ‘Bruno’ Seaforth the Best Fan.
In the third-place game for $200,000, Botafago shrugged off the challenge of Milerock blasting their way to a crushing 10-7 victory.
That win came after a 4-4 score-line at the halfway stage.
Botafago’s Omar Brewley led the way with four goals as Donavan Francis added three, Shamar Caesar two and Malachi Todd one.
Milerock with three goals from Tyrese Lewis, two by Colwyn Drakes and one from Lamar McLaren, got $100,000 for their effort.
This tournament was made possible through sponsorship from Bella’s Lumberyard, Babaloo’s Crown Nation Auto Sales, Scottie’s General Store, Malit Trucking, Wills Electrical, New Era Entertainment, Sky Tech Electrical and Jennison Electrical.
Main sponsor Dennis ‘Mice’ Prince handed over the
top prize money of $700,000 to the champions, Silver Shattas, and promised fans another futsal tournament this year that will see teams from Georgetown and Linden battling for honours. (Joe Chapman)
