They accomplished this feat on Sunday November 2nd when they added two more titles, having already been crowned Knockout Champions. In the Norell Hull Under 17 Division final, Topsidaz defeated Keartons United two goals to nil to win that title. Olex Gabriel and Jamel Pierre had one goal each.

In the much anticipated third clash between arch rivals Besco Pastures and Courts Topsidaz turned out to be a mismatch as Besco received a beating, losing 4 goals to 1. Inflicting the damage for Courts Topsidaz were Alex Anderson with two and Marknell Lewis and Roger Welcome with one each. Alrick Bulze had the lone goal for Besco Pastures.

Topsidaz collected $1,800 and Pastures $1,000.

Before this game, Besco Pastures was the best defensive team, conceding only five goals all season and sporting two national defenders, but they were no match for Topsidaz.

In the prize giving ceremony that followed, a father and son combination for Topsidaz received the top strikers award in their respective divisions, with Olex Gabriel gaining most goals in the Under 17 Division and Alex Anderson, his father, scoring the most goals in the Premier Division.

On Saturday, two champions were crowned. P Boyz FC had the better of KLM Strikers, their pentecostal brothers, in the Rudy’s Electrical First Division.

The game was level after regulation time and it took penalty kicks to separate these brothers of faith. P Boyz earned $700 and KLM $400.

Layou Masters pocketed $500 after they were also crowned Western Union Masters Champion on Saturday when they defeated Rastafari Masters on penalty kicks. Former national defender, Percival Samuel, playing for Layou Masters, was named the MVP of this division. Rastafari Masters took away $300.
