Soc­cer Made Sim­ple FC of Arou­ca/Trinci­ty cap­tured the win­ner’s prize of $7,000 when they spanked Pa­lo Seco’s Cox Foot­ball Acad­e­my 4-1 for the ti­tle when the cur­tain fell on the Next Lev­el Con­sult­ing Lim­it­ed Un­der-19 Com­mu­ni­ty Cup at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va on Mon­day.

Sim­ple was led by the tal­is­man­ic strik­er, Ter­ron Miller scor­ing two goals, for his 16th and 17th of the sea­son, and Ja­heim Patrick and Mic­ah Nel­son con­tributed one goal a piece. The lone Cox Foot­ball Acad­e­my goal was scored by Morde­cai Brown.

De­spite the loss, Cox Foot­ball Acad­e­my did not leave emp­ty-hand­ed as they col­lect­ed $5,500 for the sec­ond spot while Can­taro Unit­ed FC of San­ta Cruz col­lect­ed the third-place prize of $2,500 af­ter get­ting the bet­ter of Ea­gles FC of Scar­bor­ough, To­ba­go 2-1 on penal­ty kicks af­ter a 2-2 score at the end of reg­u­la­tion time.

In the first game, the third-place matchup be­tween Can­taro Unit­ed F.C. and Ea­gles F.C. of Scar­bor­ough, To­ba­go, penal­ty kicks were need­ed to de­cide the ex­cit­ing game. Af­ter end to end ac­tion, the match end­ed 2-2 on a wet and slip­pery sur­face. Both Can­taro Unit­ed’s goals dur­ing reg­u­la­tion time were scored by Nathaniel Per­ouse. While Jabari Alexan­der and Keanu Boatswain scored for the To­bag­on­ian group win­ners.

Can­taro Unit­ed even­tu­al­ly won the riv­et­ing penal­ty shootout 3-2, af­ter a tough dis­play from the penal­ty spot by both teams. Both NL­CL games were broad­cast live on Flow Sports chan­nel, Flow Sports app and Youtube.

Last week­end at the same venue, the hot­ly con­test­ed sec­ond se­mi-fi­nal be­tween Cox Foot­ball Acad­e­my and Can­taro Unit­ed FC which end­ed 3-1 in the for­mer favour was marred by the is­suance of five red cards.

Fol­low­ing the game, the is­sue was re­ferred to the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) Spe­cial Dis­ci­pli­nary Com­mit­tee, which ruled out any fur­ther par­tic­i­pa­tion of the five red-card­ed play­ers.

Ad­di­tion­al­ly, the Spe­cial Dis­ci­pli­nary Com­mit­tee al­so fined both teams a sub­stan­tial amount for not main­tain­ing dis­ci­pli­nary con­trol of their re­spec­tive teams.

In the first semi­fi­nal, Soc­cer Made Sim­ple FC al­so de­feat­ed Ea­gles FC 3-1 with a very clin­i­cal and dis­ci­plined per­for­mance.

Bri­an Jor­dan, Tour­na­ment Chair­man said fol­low­ing the fi­nal, “On be­half of the NL­CL U19 Com­mu­ni­ty Cup or­ga­niz­ing com­mit­tee, con­grat­u­la­tions to our well de­served new cham­pi­ons, Soc­cer Made Sim­ple F.C. We hope to have them de­fend their ti­tle when the tour­na­ment re­sumes in De­cem­ber in its nor­mal­ly sched­uled time­frame.”

He added, “As a busi­ness own­er and a coach, it feels so good to know we have giv­en these young men an op­por­tu­ni­ty to show­case their abil­i­ties lo­cal­ly and in­ter­na­tion­al­ly with both games shown live on Flow Sports. The or­ga­niz­ing com­mit­tee of San­dra Pom­pey, Ger­maine Jor­dan and my­self would like to thank all fans, and sup­port­ers, and will try our best to en­sure we re­turn with an even bet­ter tour­na­ment in De­cem­ber.”

Jor­dan al­so ex­tend­ed thanks to its stake­hold­ers, in­clud­ing our spon­sors, teams, match of­fi­cials and loy­al fans for con­tin­u­ing to be ex­treme­ly sup­port­ive as we get our young­sters an op­por­tu­ni­ty to show­case their skills and un­lim­it­ed po­ten­tial. Specif­i­cal­ly, the com­mit­tee wish­es to thank Next Lev­el Con­sult­ing Lim­it­ed, the Min­istry of Sports and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment, Na­tion­al En­er­gy Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go, Com­plete Dis­trib­u­tors Lim­it­ed, Na­tion­al Lot­ter­ies Con­trol Board, SO­CO Restau­rant (NYC), South­ern Sup­plies Lim­it­ed and Ram­s­ingh’s Sports World for their kind and gen­er­ous sup­port.
