A new champion will be crowned in the Turbo Energy Drink Football Championship, as holder Camptown lost 8-7 on sudden death penalty kicks to Georgetown Football Club [GFC] yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Locked 2-2 at the end of the regulation and extra time intervals, both teams were unable to be separated, as the initial round ended 5-5. The contest continued in the same vein in the sudden death realm, as both teams scored consecutive attempts to take the score to 7-7. GFC maintained their streak from the mark to take an 8-7 lead. Needing to convert to keep their hopes alive of progression to the next round, Camptown sealed their own exit, as their eighth attempt was denied the goal-keeper.
Prior to the dramatic conclusion, the Bourda based GFC unit took the lead in the 21st minute, as Lavaughn Ennis slotted into the back of the net, after racing onto a through pass.
