Hard-Knocks defeat NK Ballers in grand finale

Hard-Knocks captain Clive Nobrega collects the prize from New Era Entertainment Co-Director Aubrey Major Jr., in the presence of his teammates after defeating NK Ballers to capture the Mohamed’s Enterprise Futsal Championship.

Tournament favorite Hard-Knocks clinched the New Era Entertainment/Mohamed’s Enterprise Futsal Championship, downing NK Ballers in the grand final on Saturday at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) Tarmac, Linden.   

The contest mirrored the earlier semifinal meeting with Dave & Celina’s, as a combined 33 goals were registered, a record for a local Futsal final.

Golden Jaguars international Pernell Schultz resumed his goal scoring exploits from the previous round, captivating the large crowd, as he capitalized on the lack of defensive structure to fire in seven goals in the 20-13 victory.
