Sugar Boys 3-peat as Wendoll Williams Cup Champions
The goal, the only one of the game, came in the 90th minute from a cross/shot by Keron Daniel out on the Islanders left hand side. The ball looked comfortably bound for the safe hands of Butler guarding his near post, but inexplicably Butler fumbled the ball and managed to let it bounce behind him and into the empty net.
“To be honest it was a cross, but the keeper made a mistake and overall we deserved a bit of luck,” commented Daniel.
Sugar Boys skipper Derol Redhead was in a celebratory mood and satisfied with the win. “It was an enjoyable game; we played tough and kept going until the final whistle. The goal was, maybe the break we deserved.”
Terry Nanton of the Sugar Boys was named Tournament MVP, an honour that Redhead thought was well deserved. “We expect a lot from him, he pulls strings for us from midfield and once he plays his role we are all on top of our game.”
Javon Carty offered congratulations to the Sugar Boys, but felt his team should have been well ahead by half time. “We battled hard, missed a few good chances through poor finishing and then conceded a very unfortunate goal right at the death. They, the Sugar Boys, played a good game and we will go back to the drawing board to plan for the next tournament.”
Francis Primo of Islanders and Allesandro Pallandino of Wolues were jointly named Golden Boot recipients.
