ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, Nov 13 – Carib Hurricanes FC are the champions of Premier League football in Grenada, after a 2-0 victory in their final match of the 2006 season on Sunday.
The win took the team to 38 points, one more than second placed Queen’s Park Rangers FC, who edged Hard Rock FC 1-0 in another of the final round of matches on the weekend.
Hundreds of spectators journeyed from St Mark and other parishes to support Hurricanes against GBSS FC at the Tanteen Recreation Ground, in the game which had more interest in the Digicel Premier League.
Hurricanes scored a goal in each half to spark an evening of celebrations, including a motorcade for the players.
In another game played, eight goals were scored between Morne Jaloux and Springs. Although Morne Jaloux won 5-3, their faith will be determined when Fontenoy United FC and Police play later this week.
Both Fontenoy and Morne Jaloux are trying to avoid relegation next season. Springs have already been demoted to the First Division after finishing on a mere 11 points from 18 games played.
But what might be considered unimaginable in local football is the fact that Eagles Super Strikers started the second round of the tournament on three points and completed their fixture of matches on 23 points and in fifth position in the 10-team championship.
ESS FC defeated defending champions Paradise FC 3-0.
The teams will now contest the Open Knock Out Tournament which will be played during this month.
