EAST END, Tortola, VI- The final of the BVI Football Association’s Men’s Festival Cup will be contested from 4:00pm today, August 4, 2020, between Sugar Boys of Virgin Gorda and Lion Heart of Tortola at the National Stadium in East End.

Sugar Boys marched to the final with a 5-1 thrashing of One Love in semi-final one at the National Stadium yesterday, August 3, 2020.

Gonzalez hat-trick

The prolific scorer, Herman Gonzalez, netted a hat-trick in the second half after the scores were levelled 1-1 following 45 minutes of action.

Gonzalez’s goals came in the 65^th, 68^th and 79^th minutes.

McGraw Baptiste made it five goals for Sugar Boys when he converted from the penalty spot in the 61^st minute.

Derrol  Redhead had set Sugar Boys on their way in the 15th minute but the scores were tied after Linden Williams found the back of his own net in the 45^th +1 minute.

Lion Heart overcome One Caribbean

Over at the Virgin Gorda Recreation Ground, Lion Heart eliminated One Caribbean 3-1 in a physical affair.

Dwayne Smith found the back of the nets for Lion Heart from a free kick in the 16^th minute and One Caribbean looked set to equalise but failed to capitalise on their goal-scoring opportunities they created.

They would live to regret that after Akim Solomon made it 2-0 for Lion Heart in the 61^st minute and then Sheldon Brown added a third in the 68th minute.

One Caribbean pulled one back in the 69th minute through a spectacular header from Kevin Glasgow but it was already a bridge too far for them.

One Caribbean also had one of their players red-carded for dangerous play midway in the second half.
