Figgy Green Jags to battle Germans in finale

Mohamed’s Enterprise/ExxonMobil futsal…

After six nights of action at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) hard court, the finalists of the New Era Entertainment organised fifth annual Mohamed’s Enterprise/ExxonMobil futsal tournament has been decided.
On Saturday night in Linden, semifinal action unraveled with Figgy Green Jags silencing Quiet Storm 14 – 8 compliments of Colwyn Drakes who score half of a dozen goals while Germans United held off a strong challenge from Goodfellas to prevail 4-3.
In the first semi, Quiet Storm drew first blood as early as the fifth minute but Jags fired in three quick goals between the ninth and 12th minutes and continued piling on the goals. At the end of the first half Jags led 9-2.
It was much more of the same in the second but Quiet Storm played with more intent behind behind outscoring their opponents 6-5 but it proved futile.
In the second semifinal Germans led by two at the half but had a scare from a determined Goodfellas team that had the urge for victory after equalizing late in the second half through Runic Velloza.
However, with a minute to play, Ryan Noel became the star of the night after he was successful with a powerful strike near the midfield line to get Germans into the final.
Germans and the fans’ favourite, Figgy Green Jags will contest the final this Sunday at the MSC hard court.
Tournament winners will cart off with $600,000 while the runners-up will receive a $250,000, third $100,000 and fourth place $50,000.
The sponsors of the tournament include Mohammed’s Enterprise, ExxonMobil, Bakewell, Cell Smart, PPDI, Sankar’s Auto Works and Bumper to Bumper Services.
