Gros Islet took the lead in dying minutes of the first half when No.24 Romiel Felix slot home in the 43rd minute from a ball that came off one of his team mates to seized the half-time advantage.
Gros Islet had to wait up until the 80th minute to double the score line when No.7 AramisLorde hit one past the Choiseul custodian to his right, then 10 minutes later No.9 Troy Greenidge made it 3 – 0 to give the defending team all three points.
