The Georgetown Zone Champions became the fourth team to win both their zone and national titles after completing a commanding 4-0 win over former champs Sparta Boss.
Deon Alfred led the eventual victors with a hat-trick, while Randolf Wagner accounted for the other goal. Wagner broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute after the finalists battled to a goalless first half.
Alfred then doubled the lead with a successful 33rd minute strike. Three minutes later, he recorded a Guinness Goal, which bumped the lead to four, with only two minutes left on the clock.

Hubert Pedro also constructed a hat-trick in that game as well while Jamal Pedro netted the final goal of the match. In the other semi-final, Sparta Boss squeezed past 2017 champs Dave and Celena’s All-Stars 2-1.
Meanwhile, in the third-place play-off, Silver Bullets edged Dave and Celena’s All-Stars 2-1.
Gold is Money carted off $500,000 while Sparta Boss pocketed $250,000, Silver Bullets $200,000 and Dave & Celena’s $100,000.
