STETHS outlast Glenmuir on penalties to win daCosta Cup
St Elizabeth Technical High (STETHS) won the ISSA daCosta Cup on Saturday, beating Glenmuir High 8-7 in sudden death penalties in a dramatic finish in the final at the National Stadium on Saturday.
Despite playing with 10 players from the 55th minute after Jade Lynch was sent off, STETHS matched Glenmuir in a pulsating, high intensity contest that ended in a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
The teams finished regulation penalties tied at four-all, both missing their seventh attempt before STETHS’ goalkeeper Steadmon, who scored his spot kick, saved Glenmuir High’s ninth attempt, his second save in the shoot-out.
This is STETHS’ sixth hold on the daCosta Cup, their first since 2015, while denying Glenmuir High their fourth hold and second loss in a final in three years.
