Tobago win Full Gospel opener

TOBAGO defeated 2002 league kings Rhema in a penalty shootout 3-1 as the 28th season of the Full Gospel Churches’ Football League opened at the Aranguez Savannah recently. The teams had earlier played to a goalless draw after full-time in the season’s opening contest. The lads from the sister isle overcame Deliverance Ministries (DM) Lions in one semi-final clash while Rhema knocked out Genesis, winners of last year’s opener. For their success, the Tobago squad received a cooler, a football and a case of energy drink from the league’s official drink Excel while the Rhema team took two footballs and a case of Excel with Genesis and DM Lions each collecting a case of Excel. Fourteen teams are participating in the league, which got underway on Saturday.
