Hamilton Parish won two titles in the annual Kappa Classic which concluded yesterday at the National Sports Centre, taking the under-10 and under-12 boys titles.

Parish beat North Village Reds 1-0 in the under-10 final yesterday, after advancing to the final with a 4-1 win over Dandy Town. North Village beat BAA Greens 2-0 in the other semi-final.

Parish claimed a second title when they took the under-12 title after beating Valencia Black 3-1 on penalties in the final as goalkeeper Teh-kel Raynor scored the deciding penalty.

The teams tied at 2-2 to force the final into kicks from the penalty spot.

Earlier, Parish beat North Village 4-1 while Valencia edged BAA Greens 1-0 in the other semi-final.

BAA Greens claimed the under-8 division after a 2-1 victory over Dandy Town Browns.

The Greens beat the BAA Knights 1-0 in the semi-final while Town edged Somerset Reds 1-0 in the other semi-final.

Somerset Reds made amends, taking the under-14 title after a 1-0 win over Town in yesterday’s final. Town reached the final with a 1-0 win over Parish in the semi-final while Somerset stopped PHC Blacks 2-1.

Valencia Black and Dandy Stars claimed the two girls titles yesterday, Valencia taking the under-13s with a 2-0 win over Bermuda High School in the final. The win earned them revenge after losing to BHS 2-1 in pool play on Saturday.

Dandy Stars were unstoppable in the under-16 final, beating Valencia Gold 3-0 in the final. Stars won both their pool matches, beating BHS 4-0 and Valencia 1-0. Valencia beat BHS 1-0 and then beat them again 2-0 in the playoff to reach the final.

More than 1,000 young boys and girls under the age of 16 took part in the three-day tournament, the biggest youth football tournament in Bermuda. It is organised by the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc Bermuda Alumni Chapter.
