Marchand Wins Veterans Pink Cup Challenge

.

The semi-finals and finals of the Veterans in Sports Inc. Pink Cup were held last Sunday (November 13) at the Dennery Playing Field, with Marchand walking away as champions after edging past CARICOM Masters 1- nil.

The games were abandoned on November 6 at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground [DSCG] resulting in one point being awarded to each team for the un-played games. In addition, teams leading before the games were called off were awarded the points.

Unluckily, Caricom Masters striker Alvin Malaykhan’s own goal in the 42nd minute made the difference to tilt the result in favour of the Castries East squad after the two sides had been engrossed in a challenging battle for the duration of play.
