A new champion will be crowned in the Turbo Energy Drink Football Championship, as holder Camptown lost 8-7 on sudden death penalty kicks to Georgetown Football Club [GFC] yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.

Locked 2-2 at the end of the regulation and extra time intervals, both teams were unable to be separated, as the initial round ended 5-5.   The contest continued in the same vein in the sudden death realm, as both teams scored consecutive attempts to take the score to 7-7.
