VG United are the winners of the first-ever BVIFA Emmett Caines Pre-Season Knockout Tournament after beating One Love FC 4-0 in the final played at East End /Long Look on Sunday 8th October.

With the wife of the late Emmett Caines, Alvero Maduro-Caines, in attendance, VG Utd, who had defeated fellow Virgin Gorda team Sugar Boys in the semi-finals, overcame the defending National League Champions, One Love 4-0, in the Final with goals coming from Bernard Cumberbatch  in just the 4^th minute, Jaadon Quashie in the 47^th and 51^st minutes and an own goal late in the second half.

“It was a good win, they are league champions so we knew it wouldn’t be a pushover, but we don’t fear anyone, respect them yes, but we were here to play” commented VG Utd manager, Jermain Abrams “I have to give compliments to the team, the coaches, Richie Morton and Glen Bascombe as well as the fans. The win was definitely a team effort from goalkeeper, through the defence and into the forwards. They all stuck to the game plan and even the substitutes didn’t let the standards we set drop”.

Attention now turns to the National League which commences this coming weekend at both the East End /Long Look National stadium venue and the Virgin Gorda Recreation Ground.

Ironically the schedule has thrown up an opening game of VG United versus One Love FC to be played at the East End / Long Look venue, 6pm on Sunday 15^th October. That game is followed at 8.30pm by Lion Heart FC against Islanders FC, whilst over on the VGRG, Sugar Boys will be taking on Old Madrid FC.
