Flow Lancers emerged winners of the coveted Veterans in Sports Inc. Championship Title, with a clinical performance to get past Gros Islet in the finals played at the Dennery playing field, last Saturday. And in the process, their players dominated the prizes awards at the post-match presentation.

Lancers beat Gros Islet 2-1 to lay hold of the trophy and the monetary prize.

Wendell Prescott put the city-based team in the first half, and into the second session Cassius Springer doubled up the score to give Lancers a 2-0 lead.

Gros Islet fought back to get into contention with a goal scored by Troy Serieux in the latter minutes , but Lancers held on firmly to the advantage to secure that victory.
