Elite Sports Club captured the Cayman Islands Football Association Boys Under-15 FA Cup Championship title on 9 May.
The victory served as a redemption comeback win for Elite, who lost in the finals last year to Academy Sports Club.
This year, the young squad secured the coveted trophy with a decisive 2-0 victory over George Town Sports Club at the CIFA Centre of Excellence in Prospect.
The match, which consisted of two 35-minute halves, saw Elite SC assert control early on, breaking the deadlock in the 19th minute when Jovani Maurisset found the back of the net to put his team ahead.
Holding onto a narrow 1-0 lead at the halftime break, Elite SC continued to pressure the George Town defense in the second half.
In the 43rd minute, Dakota Brown delivered a crucial second goal that sealed the championship win.
Elite SC’s head coach Dion Brandon praised his team’s execution in a Cayman Islands Football Association interview.
“For me, it’s a good accomplishment. It feels more rewarding to see the kids get to actually lift the trophy at the end of the season. They’ve put in a lot of hard work [and] a lot of dedication. That’s where I get the joy and the fulfillment,” he said.
