On Saturday, both the Under-16 and Under-18 FA Finals were contested. At the La Horquetta Recreation Ground, La Horquetta XF demolished Blast FC 7-3 to clinch the Under-16 decider.

Thomas O’Neil registered a treble for the winners, in the 19th, 49th and 73rd, while Jermoul Francois (58th and 82nd) and Taryk Sampson (67th and 90th) chipped in with one apiece.

WASA FC also took advantage of home conditions and support to lift the Under-18 FA trophy, following a 3-2 win over Dingle Boys at the WASA Ground, St Joseph. Terrel Jordan put Dingle Boys ahead after 15 minutes but Nkosi Lewis replied for WASA in the 27th. Garvin Jerry restored Dingle Boys’ lead ten minutes later but WASA stormed back with strikes from Jesse Glenn (61st) and Leon Timothy (72nd).
