Kaieteur Sports- After two days of fierce competition, the 2024 Hamilton Green Inter-Ward/Village Nine-a-side Knockout Football Championship concluded on Sunday with a single goal securing victory for Bent Street.
The intense showdown took place at the National Training Centre (NTC) turf ground, where Bent Street edged out the formidable Back Circle team 1-0 to claim the championship title and a $500,000 cash prize. The champions also walked away with twelve hampers, medals, and a trophy.
Bent Street clinched their spot in the final after a hard-fought semifinal against 2023 champions Stabroek Ballers, which ended in a tense 0-0 draw. The decisive moment in the final match arrived in the latter half, when a brilliant set-piece collaboration between Daniel Wilson and Adrian Aaron broke the deadlock. Wilson delivered a well-placed cross from the right corner, setting up Aaron for a perfectly timed tap-in that secured the championship-winning goal.
