It was the second Under 16 Final the Samarians have lost this season. Vieux Fort led in every quarter and athalf time the score was 22 – 8. However at the resumption, College came out blazing and went on a 9 – 0 run which tilted the balance in their favour. This action was short lived and though they outscored their opponents 12 – 6 the damaged was already done and the quarter ended 28 – 20.

The Final quarter was more keenly contested as St. Mary’s College went all out on the offensive only to be twarted by the solid defense of Vieux fort marshalled by their 6 ‘ 3” Center Philbert Williams. With seconds remaining diminutive Jamal Charles, of Vieux Fort Comprehensive ended the game in grand style when he drilled a Three Pointer from half court right on the buzzer. It was sweet and rewarding victory for the Southern players who in 2008 lost the Finals to Leon Hess Comprehensive.
