Talented Boys emerges as Street Strikers champs
Talented
Boys FC have emerged winners of the 2011 edition of the Street Strikers
Football Championship after defeating Owoya Babes in the final.
The city-wide
championship organised by Red Bull, ended this past weekend at the
popular Gbagada Playing Field and saw Talented Boys emerging 2-0
winners over their opponents.
The six-a-side game
that brought the three-day soccer fiesta to an end did not produce any
goal at full time. And it took a penalty shoot-out to separate the two
sides.
Earlier, Manchester
FC had defeated Choice FC 3-2 to claim third place in the semi-final
match, also through a penalty shoot-out.
At the end of the
tournament, the participants expressed their joy at being allowed to
showcase their talent with proper organisation.
The tournament saw participating teams featuring six players and two substitutes per game.
Speaking on the reason behind the continuation of the event which
also took place in 2010, a representative of Red Bull noted that “the
2010 edition was well received with a lot of positive feedback and so
we decided to once again give people a chance to experience the thrills
associated with the nationally loved sport.”
