TIMES INT'L

The Western Union Hikers completed the John Fernandes Insurance Services Limited Second Division competition in fine style with a 3-0 defeat of the Airbenders to solidify their position as 2012 champions in the competition. The match began at a frantic pace, with the Airbenders pressing the Hikers in the early minutes.

Both sides created chances, but failed to find the back of the net. The Airbenders’ deliberate and patient build-ups contrasted in style to the swift counter-attacking style of the Hikers as both teams were determined to come out on top.
With the first half remaining goal-less, the Hikers were off the mark just four minutes into the second half. A surprise run by crafty Jamarj Assanah created an opening for him to guide his shot past the near post of Airbenders substitute goalkeeper, Jonelle Garnett.
The Hikers pace began to take a toll on the Airbenders as their defence found itself exposed on several of the Hikers goal raids. Tournament joint top scorer, Aroydy Branford, did not disappoint his fans as he added a second goal for the Hikers in the 46th minute with a blistering shot.
While the Airbenders continued to fight, the Hikers defensive wall matched every effort and in the final minute of the game, Randy Hope outraced the Airbenders defence to add to his teams tally giving the Western Union Hikers the 3-0 victory.
At the culmination of the second division tournament, the presentation of shield and medals was made to the champions- the Western Union Hikers.
