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.

Joshua Ragbir scored a hat-trick, while Terrel Wiley and Jerry Morris scored two goals apiece as Blast scored a huge 8-0 win over Acono Football Academy in one of four Republic Youth League Under-12 quarterfinals played last weekend.

JERRY MORRIS scored the only goal as BLAST edged Trendsetter Hawks 1-0 to win the Under-12 final of the 2014 Republic Bank National Youth Football League, which took place last Saturday at ‘Casual’s Corner’ in the Queen’s Park Savannah.
