Cable Bahamas Stars and GB Shipyard Wanderers to meet in Whirlpool Cup Final

After two dramatic and eventful semi finals , CableBahamas Stars and GB Shipyard Wanderers emerged victorious to contest the first Whirlpool Cup Final on Wednesday February 14th.


GB SHIPYARD WANDERERS 3 DYNAMO SMIT 2
The first game saw the Wanderers make some tactical changes before kick off to bolster their defence by moving Roger Johnson from midfield back to goalkeeper ( a position he starred in with the GBFL Men’s champions Brita Red Bulls). The change by coach Scott seemed to work as the Wanderers swept into a 3 goal lead with goals from Claudio Vietti, Ralston Francis and Riko Jean. All credit to the Dynamos however as they came back strongly with two goals to ensure a nervy last few minutes for the top seeded Wanderers before they booked their cup final berth.

CABLE BAHAMAS STARS 1 BORCO OILERS 1 aet ( Stars go through on penalties)

The second semi final saw the Cable Bahamas Stars scrape through against a gallant Borco Oilers. In a close contest with chances few and far between , The stars’ Denzil Deveaux opened the scoring with a sweetly struck half volley midway through the second half . This looked as though this would be enough to secure the win until a last gasp free kick from Tootx Sands looped over the outstretched arms of stand-in goalkeeper Andre Bethel who had a great game nonetheless . Extra time saw no more goals but , as the darkness descended , Wanderers held their nerve to convert all 3 of their penalty kicks to win the tie on penalties.
