Soufriere SLFA under-19 Football Champions

It was celebration time for the boys from the town of Gros Islet as they went on to defeat Canaries convincingly 4 – 2 in the third place play off of the National Under - 19 Football Tournament at the Mini Stadium in Soufriere.
Looking relaxed and sharper on the square the Gros Islet team meant business from the first whistle, and in so doing their key player Troy Greenidge was the man of the hour as he went on to score a hattrick with goals in the 5th, 25th, and 70th minute to put the issue beyond doubt and Canaries’ reach. Eden Charles scored in the 49th minute to seal the deal. David Henry pulled one back scoring for Canaries in the 30th minute, while Terbius Stephen doubling it from the penalty spot in the 59th minute, was simply not enough on the afternoon.
At the half time whistle the score was 2 – 1 in favour of Gros Islet. Indeed it was a much better performance from the Gros Islet team on the square compared to what they exhibited in the semi final round where they squandered a number of easy scoring opportunities in front of goal versus Soufriere that eventually won the 2010 tournament.
The finals played between Soufriere and Central Castries lived up to all expectations and many spectators who came to lend their support were treated to a very high brand of attacking football by both teams. However, it was Soufriere who took the lead in the 41st minute when they were awarded a penalty which was clinically converted by their captain Eric Francois. Immediately this sparked off jubilation in the Stands the majority of whom being home supporters. Soufriere ended the first half with a one nil advantage.
