Point Fortin Civic, which played unbeaten through the Central Zone, went all the way on Saturday to cop the Under-14 title in the Republic Bank National Youth League, after edging Jabloteh on penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw in the final.

In an action packed day of football at Casual Corner, Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, three clubs emerged as champions, with BLAST FC and Trendsetter Hawks winning the finals in the U-12 and U-10 divisions, respectively. All teams played in an 11-a-side format.

Trendsetter Hawks nearly made it a double, but for its U-12 team’s narrow 1-0 loss to BLAST. Jerry Morris scored the lone goal in the final. Jabloteh took third place following a 4-1 win over Santa Rosa in the playoff.

In the U-10 final, Trendsetter Hawks came from a goal down to defeat Cap Off Youths 2-1. Tyreke Harding opened for Cap Off Youths within five minutes of the start, but two minutes later Jaheim Marshall levelled the scoring for the Hawks, which then sealed the winning goal in the 22nd minute through Abdul Hypolite.

In the U-14 final, Point Fortin was able to secure a second straight win from the spot kicks after the club edged Tobago’s 1976 FC Phoenix by the same 1-1 scoreline in the semifinal. Ezekiel Kesar gave Point Fortin a sixth minute lead, but Kishawn St Rose scored for Jabloteh to send the match to penalties, which the South-based club took by a 4-3 scoreline.

The nationwide competition began over a month ago, with 60 teams participating in the new-look 11-a-side tournament.
