Newly crowned champions Slingerz FC posing with the Kashif and Shanghai championship trophy following their 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Alpha United

t was a dream debut for Bakewell Slingerz Football Club in the Kashif and Shanghai football tourney as they were crowned deserved champions defeating an abject Alpha `The Hammers’ United 2-0 on Sunday at National Stadium in Providence.   A 33-minute delay due to the failure of three lighting towers did not blanket the moderate viewership from supporting the West Demerara giants, who secured the title and their first win over the ‘Hammers’ in four fixtures compliments of a Devon Millington double in the 56th and 90th+4 minutes. With the victory, Slingerz FC will receive the championship accolade and the $2,000,000 first prize whilst the two time winners Alpha United will receive $1,000,000 and the respective accolade.
