WHO NEEDS SAINT NICK when Kion Harding routinely delivers?
Barbados Soccer Academy’s (BSA) star goalkeeper saved a certain equaliser in the dying minutes before Shaquille Belle added a late strike to punctuate a dramatic 3-1 victory over Cinderella side  Empire in the under-16 finals of the Pro Shottas Independence Football Tournament at Banks.
The win capped a fine tournament showing from BSA, which also secured the under-14 crown after narrowly missing out on taking the under-18 equivalent as well.
Yet none of these efforts could quite match those of Harding, who dived full-stretch to his left  to stunningly deny Shaquille Boyce’s powerful right-footed strike with Empire trailing 2-1. (JM)
