BSA upend Empire

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.
