After an even first half, the match came to life in the second period of play with many âooohsâ and âaahsâ, as both teams came close to breaking the dead lock.
But it was the visitors, Fitz Hughes, who caused their fans to erupt in joy, when Christopher Howe found space on the left side of the porous Topsidazâs defence to slot home the ball from close range.
However, it was Kurtland Williams whose goal was the highlight of the afternoon.
Kurtland Williams finished off a surging run from Jad Williams down the left side to double the score, which remained that way to the end.
The Fitz Hughes team and their supporters popped the champagne as they were assured the championship trophy and winnerâs purse of $1,200.
Home team Topsidaz with all the support earned $800.
