Police women’s and men’s teams, along with the Bon Air Police Youth Club (PYC), emerged as champions in their respective divisions as action in the Lystra Lewis Port-of-Spain Netball League (LLPOSNL) resumed on Saturday at the Woodbrook Youth Facility.
The “law women” won the A’s Division in dominating fashion, while their fellow officers topped the Men’s Division. Bon Air PYC claimed the title in the Kiwi Division.
In the A’s Division, Police A1 met Bermudez United in the final, easing to a 14-1 victory to clinch its first title in the 87th edition of the League. This followed a hard-fought 12-11 win over Soul City in the semifinals and a 15-5 defeat of Cardinals in the previous round. Bermudez’s path to the final included wins against Spartoms (6-4), Police A2 (8-3), and a narrow 7-6 semifinal victory over Police Netball Youth Club (PNYC).
In the Men’s Division, Police secured the title with a nail-biting 10-9 win against Marvellites in the final. Earlier in the competition, Police recorded wins over Spartoms (12-9) and Defence Force (13-11). Earlier, the Marvellites unit defeated Horizon, 12-4, to advance to the finale
The Kiwi Division saw Bon Air PYC upstage Spartoms 7-0 in the final. The champion’s road to the trophy included victories against Unity (4-0), San Juan Jabloteh (by default), and Barataria PYC (5-3).
The two other knockout titles in the LLPOSNL were decided in late March. On March 25, University of the Southern Caribbean (USC) defeated Horizon 14-9 to claim the Inters Division title. Three days later, Bon Air PYC was crowned the B Division winner after beating Barataria Netters 10-7.
Action continues today from 5 pm.
