Senior league play in the Bahamas Football Association (BFA) wrapped up on Sunday at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Field, with the Insurance Management Bears football club taking home top honors in the Knock Out Cup Final.
The Bears, playing with 10 players, were able to defeat the Baha Juniors team, 7-2. After Renardo McCallum received a red card in the 21st minute, the Bears had to play the remainder of game down a player. Baha Juniors actually led 2-1 after 26 minutes, but the five-time defending champions Bears displayed superior form the rest of the way. The 10-man Bears, who led 1-0 after eight minutes but were down 2-1 after 26 minutes, assumed a 3-2 lead going into the half on two goals by Nesley Jean, the season's most valuable player (MVP).
The second half belonged to the Bears as Demont Mitchell scored a hat trick (three goals) and the league's 'Best Youth Player' John Mareus, solidified the lead with a great individual breakaway goal. In immense heat, the Bears showed why they were the best team all season by manhandling Baha Juniors in the second half.
The goal scorers for Baha Juniors were Alkin Delancy (23rd minute) and Nick Constantine (26th minute).
The Bears scorers were Domingo Hurston (8th minute), Nesley Jean (31st and 49th minutes), Mareus who had one goal in the second half, and Demont Mitchell who scored all three of his goals in the second half.
