Heritage Games 2023: Region 4 Females, Region 7 Males are football champions

The female outfit from Region Four, “The GT Kanaimas” managed to defend their title against the Region 10 side in the women’s final of the annual Heritage Games 2023, while in the male division, the team from Region Seven bounced off a runners-up position in the 2022 edition, as they thumped the Region Two side.
The GT Kanaimas started the final game on a strong note with many attempts at the goal, but the Region 10 side’s keeper showed her dominance in the 18-yard box and closed off scoring. At the end of the first half, both sides were scoreless.

In the second half, the Region 10 side kept their composure and managed to penetrate their opponents’ defence, but the Kanaimas keeper did not let the pressure go to her head and kept them scoreless, forcing the game into kicks from the spot.
The Kanaimas went on to win the game, with their keeper putting up some massive saves to win the game with the score 4 -2.
In the male edition, the team from Region 7 demonstrated their class in the first half of the game against the Region Two side, with a strike from Andrew Simmons giving the team the lead at the end of the first half.
Simmons did not calm down as he went on to chip past the keeper to secure his double, furthering their lead. A composed Devon Padmore pursued a strike minutes after, but it was not enough as the Region Two side emerged as champions.
