A late Azhino Solomon goal last Friday, August, 8, 2025, versus Bequia United, gave System Three the title of champions of Tier II in the 2024-2025 St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation’s National Club Championships.

Solomon’s winner caused an eruption of joy among the System Three players and fans at the Brighton Playing Field, as the match seemed destined for extra time.

The last say was left to Solomon who made amends for some earlier blushes, before beating Josh Stowe in the Bequia United goal in minute 90 + 4.
