Lloyd Matthews and Jarel Walcott were the men on target for Panthers. Bobb was voted Most Valuable Player of the game and received a hamper from the National Milling Company (Namilco).

Linden side Milerock stunned Georgetown-based Pele 2-0 with both goals coming in the second half. Jose Depaz opened the scoring six minutes upon resumption and Rawle Gittens doubled the advantage eight minutes later.

Gittens was named the Most Valuable Player and like Bobb, he too collected a Namilco hamper.
