It’s official: S. L. Horfords St. Paul’s are the 2021 Super Six Tournament champions after they
dismissed SOL IAS Conaree FC 5-1 in game 2 of the Super Six finals Thursday night at the
Warner Park. St. Paul’s rained down goals on Conaree, starting off with the tournament’s MVP
Keithroy Freeman in the 21 st minute, followed by Kalonji Clarke in the 41st minute to give St.
Paul’s a 2-0 lead at half time. In the second half, it was more of the same: Freeman scored St.
Paul’s third goal with a brilliant through pass, but were pegged back a bit with an own goal by
Petrez Williams; putting Conaree on the board in the 66 th minute. Perez made up for that mistake
when he scored a stunning free kick in the 81 st minute, only for Freeman to score his hat trick
with the 5th and final goal of the match in the 88 th minute. After the match, Manager of St. Paul’s
Derionne Edmeade told reporter Virgil Hodge, St. Paul’s strategy to win the championship was
to soak up the pressure and hit their opponents on the counter attack.
“All we had to do, was withhold everything that they do, stay focused, and when all that pressure
wears down, St. Paul’s were ready to jump up again,” an elated Edemade said. He suggested that
they could not afford delaying their celebrations to after a game three on Sunday, noting it was
important to win game two last night and seal the series. “Tonight, we took advantage of the
opportunities that we got. The first game, both teams missed a lot but tonight, St. Paul’s spent
some money on some nice champagne. We couldn’t’ put these back on ice…we could not do this
on Sunday. Its sweeter today,” Edemade said.
For Coach Al Richards of Conaree, his team failed to score early and hence lost the match. “I
told the players, this is a final, if we don’t score we can’t win. Goals win games. We didn’t score,
St. Paul’s scored their chances,” he said. He congratulated St Paul’s and thanked his team’s
sponsors for supporting them all the way to the finals.
This marked the end of the 2021 SKNFA Premier League and back-to-back titles for St. Paul’s.
With that win, St. Paul’s walk away with $50,000 in cash prize and several individual prizes as
well. Other prizes were:

Honouring Fathers: So Many Are Unsung Heroes in Our Lives

While Mother’s Day often brings a natural outpouring of love and celebration, Father’s Day unfortunately tends to be met with less enthusiasm and recognition. This disparity is often chalked up to the presence of absent or neglectful fathers-those ‘bad apples’ who have, regrettably, cast a shadow over the entire barrel. But it is neither fair nor wise to let a few unfortunate examples overshadow the countless men who show up every single day with love, patience, sacrifice, and strength for their children.
