The largest crowd ever to grace the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue witnessed the crowning of a new champion as Sparta Boss downed Back Circle 5-2 to secure the Petra Organization Futsal Championship on Saturday.
The eventual coronation that occurred following the conclusion of the contest was a rematch of their earlier group fixture and although the youthful Back Circle unit may have won the battle 3-2 on that evening, they clearly lost the war to the experience of Sparta Boss on the dreaded finals night.
While the score line points to a low scoring affair, excellent goalkeeping on either side ensured that the matchup was close from opening whistle to closing.
Sparta custodian Akel Clarke and Back Circle shot-stopper and eventual Best Goalkeeper winner Azariel Davis, thrilled the mammoth crowd that spilt onto the sidelines with the former ensuring that the East La Penitence unit maintained their lead while the latter ensured that East Ruimveldt was still in the contest.
