National Unity cop Masters silver

PARAMOUNT National Unity have taken the silver medals in this year’s Barbados Masters Caribbean Football Tournament.

The Trinidad and Tobago Masters were beaten 4-2 on penalty kicks in the semi-finals by an English team which went on to win the 32-team series. But the PNU squad shut out the St Vincent Nationals 4-0 to collect the silver. And the TT team had the consolation of establishing a new record for most goals, scoring 23 with only two against on their seven-match schedule. Leary “Bound to Score” Gibbs took over the individual scoring mantle from teammate Emile Morris, winner of the title for the past three consecutive seasons. Gibbs scored 10 goals for PNU who remained the most consistent team at the tournament in their four-year existence, finishing in the top three each season. Added to their Caribbean Masters success, National Unity won both the league and knockout series at the UWI Masters Tournament at St Augustine, which ended recently. Morris continued his trend emerging top goalscorer, firing in 14 goals this season to take the title four times in a row.
