Football fans have enjoyed more than six weeks of pulsating action and when activities reach its culmination, Silver Shattas will oppose Alikyu SC in the finals of the Coca Cola Beach Cup Championships at Bayroc Sand Reserve, Sat March 16 next. Both teams earned that right after winning their respective games over the past week.
Shattas was the first to qualify after defeating Blue Berry Hill, this after the two teams traded goals in the first two periods to finish on a 3-3 stalemate going into the final third. The match was intensive and as the game wound down seemed to be heading for extra time. This was not to be as Deshawn Freeman struck twice, the last effort a thunderous free kick from midfield, to break the deadlock. Darrel George scored a double while Orin Scott netted once for Blueberry Hill. Colwyn David and Clifton Halley scored one apiece for Shattas.
The Silvertown/Alikyu SC encounter saw Silvertown point man, Mario Batson sprinting to the opposition’s goal to register in just one second after the whistle. Alikyu fought back on the defensive end and stifled the All Star Youths’ slick moves before Kevin Sparman scored twice to equalize the situation.
The game then reached fever pitch and on two occasions Silvertown rallied and assumed the lead through Joshaun Moore. Stiff rivalry from both teams ensured that the game remain tied at the end of regulation time and the two teams battled into extra time to determine the winner
Alikyu’s custodian, whose earlier blemishes had been responsible for the extra period of play, atoned for those blunders with some magnificent saves to thwart Silvertown’s efforts.
The players started to show frustration and their strategy suffered causing the game to remain dead lock before progressing into penalty kicks.
Silvertown’s Captain, Marmarlaque Davidson failed to past the ‘keeper’ before Alikyu’s Kevin Prowell blasted the nets to end the match 3-2. Activities culminate on Saturday March 2 at the same venue.
