Clinical in their execution, Jebelle whipped Just For the Fun/Sion Hill 3-0, Calliaqua 2-1, African Tref 4-1, Toneyâs Stores Vintage FC 10-1, and completed their domination beating Menelik 3-1. African Tref had to settle for the second spot.
Menelik docked in third with seven points, Calliaqua fourth, Vintage FC fifth and Sion Hill, sixth. Former national defender Dexter Walker knocked in six goals to be the competitionâs top goal scorer.
A venture organised by the SVG Over 35âs Club, the festival served to provide a fun activity for footballers who have âgone over the hill,â but still have energy and love for the game.
Two former national players Wendell Nicholls and Myron âBrooksâ Baptiste, both home on vacation used the occasion to renew old acquaintances established many years ago.
The event is expected to be pencilled in as an annual competition during the Easter weekend, with the ultimate aim to have a regional flavour added to it, as disclosed by one of the organisers, Leopold Dopwell.
The competition concluded last Monday after three days of vintage football.
The SVG Overâ35âs Masters, as well as African Tref will carry this countryâs flag at the Barbados Masters Tournament next month.
