Both teams went goalless at half time, but upon resuming the bruising battle, Top Shattas’ leading goal scorer Sisco Robinson continued his dominance as he buried his fourth goal and first in the final, while his teammate Ronaldo Abrams supported with a brace to extend their team’s advantage. The Young Gunnerz tried on many occasions to break away, but somehow were held back by the impressive defence of the Top Shattas. In the end, they knew that it was over; despite several efforts by Young Gunnerz, Top Shattas stood firm to ensure their team prevailed.
