Ebony Z Champ, the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (UWI) and San Juan Jabloteh emerged the Knock­out cham­pi­ons in their re­spec­tive di­vi­sions of the Lystra Lewis Port-of-Spain Net­ball League (LL­POSNL) at the Wood­brook Youth Fa­cil­i­ty in Port-of-Spain on Sat­ur­day af­ter­noon.

Ebony Z Champ sealed the Women’s A1 Di­vi­sion ti­tle af­ter a hard-fought 12-11 win over Soul City. Goal-shoot­er Janeisha Cas­simy was best in the cir­cle, pro­duc­ing a team-high ten goals from 12 at­tempts in the thrilling fi­nal. Her goal-at­tack Ree­ka Seer­at­tan added the oth­er two goals from six tries.

For Soul City, Jelis­sa Coop­er was flaw­less, hit­ting all her six at­tempts while goal-at­tack Kali­fa Mc Collin-Lopez was al­most per­fect with five from six.

The Ebony Z Champ club had teams reach­ing the three fi­nals but the oth­er two teams were un­suc­cess­ful.

Ear­li­er in the Women’s A2 Di­vi­sion fi­nale, both shoot­ers were per­fect for the win­ner, UWI, with goal-at­tack Jelis­sa Goodridge lead­ing with 10 from as many tries and her goal-shoot­er Maikea Bram­ble con­nect­ing all of her sev­en at­tempts in their team’s com­fort­able 17-5 win over Ebony Z Champs.

Tiffany Gon­za­les was best for the los­ing side with three in five.

In the men’s fi­nal, Jabloteh edged Ebony Z Champ 12-11 de­spite the lat­ter hav­ing more chances at goal, 16 com­pared to 14.

They were left to rue their missed chances as Arieon Ed­wards net­ted all of the win­ner’s goals, a match-high 12 in 14. His goal-at­tack, Ja­son No­ray, who was part of the na­tion­al men’s team that placed sec­ond in the Amer­i­c­as Men’s Cham­pi­onship last year, at­tempt­ed no goals but did well to feed his shoot­er in the nar­row one-goal vic­to­ry.

For Ebony Z Champ, fel­low na­tion­al men’s play­er Keon Rus­sell led with six from 10.

Last Wednes­day, Hill­girls and Hori­zon Sports and Cul­tur­al Club were the knock­out win­ners in the re­spec­tive In­ters and B Di­vi­sions in the 86th edi­tion of the LL­POSNL.
