Jamal Lucas netted in each half to lead Xtrafoods Chaguanas to a 2-1 triumph over Enterprise Life Sports in the Central Football Association Sanitank League Cup final at the Hugo Francis Recreation Ground, Chaguanas on Sunday.
Lucas opened the scoring in the 22nd minute for his team to lead 1-0 at the half, however David Maloney drew Enterprise Life Sports level in the 69th only for Lucas to net a second time, nine minutes later with what turned out to be the decisive item.
In the semifinals, earlier in the week, Lucas (17th) and Sean Salandy (79th) were on target in their team's 2-1 upset of league champions Cunupia FC while Enterprise Life Sports edged Enterprise Youths FC 1-0 with goal from David Maloney in the 70th.
At the end of the League Cup final, the CFA distributed $46,000 in cash prizes for the 2014 season with Cunupia's Stevon Stoute being voted as the "Player of the Year" and "Most Goals" awards recipient after leading his team to the Premier Division, CFA Ramsingh's Sports FA Trophy and Hugo Francis Memorial Cup triumphs while it coach Michael De Four was voted "Coach of the Year".
Lenox Fingal, Managing Director of CRIL (Caribbean Recreational Initiatives Limited) presented the prizes for the CRIL sponsored Premier League Competition.
