Bethesda, which finished as runner Up in the Leeward B Zone, tied up the score in the 52nd minute when Kareem Phillips with an audacious free-kick, similar to the one scored in the semifinal win over dethroned champions, Whim Anglican. Bon Accord wasted little time reclaiming the lead when Jabari George finished off a well executed one-two play with Irvine for his third league goal as Dwight Yorke's alma mata held on for its first title in ten years. It was also Bon Accord's third win over Bethesda this season after having notched a 2-1 Golden Goal win in the semifinals of last month's Goderick Alfred Tobago Primary School Football Cup and a 3-2 conquest in Leeward B group play this season.
