It was the Curtez Kellman show in the fixture which was a rematch of the previous Futsal final. The Georgetown Football Club midfielder made his presence felt, banging in a hat-trick.
Kellman rifled a right shot into the right side in the 15th minute to break the deadlock, before lashing another powerful effort into the back of the net in the 28th minute to make it 2-0.

However, Kellman restored his side’s advantage two minutes later, thumping a right foot strike into the roof of the goal from the right side of the field.
The final nail in the coffin was applied in the 45th minute, as Akeemo Anthony etched his name on the scorer’s sheet.
