John Hunter of Kingston Commissioners won the MVP award.

Meanwhile, Packers, the team which finished last in the league competition, won the knockout title by clipping Barbican 1-0 in the final last week Saturday at the Barbican playing field. Donovan Grant got the all important goal for Packers in the 17th minute.

Packers also defeated the defending champions Santos on penalties in their semi-final. They won the Dino Lyn trophy. Lyn, now 72 years, also plays for the winners. He is a former St George’s College Old Boy Manning Cup player and also a former national player.

In the opening match, Santos defeated Wonders 3-1 with Gordon Murphy scoring a brace and Burnett netting his league-leading 11th goal.
