Kashif & Shanghai National Futsal

Traditional giants Bent Street A and Sparta Boss will contest the final of the Kashif and Shanghai National Futsal Championship today following hard-fought semifinal wins on Wednesday evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Homestretch Avenue.

Bent Street A produced a gritty performance to best Road Warriors, a team comprising several Portuguese and Spanish-speaking natives, by an 8-6 score. Bent Street A once again showed why they are the premier team in the format with a calculated performance led by the unpredictable Jermaine Beckles.

A scorer of a second-half brace in the 36th and 40th minutes, Beckles was a constant thorn in the side of the opponent, thrilling the large gathering with sublime footwork against a tired unit that opted in a rather strange move to play almost the entire match with the same five starters.
