Veteran defender Karl Roberts hailed the spirit of his team-mates yesterday as St. George’s Colts capped off a fine season with a well-earned win over Prospect United in the Shield final at the National Sports Centre (NSC).
Goals from Jarreau Hayward and Mackie Crane either side of the break saw the home.
Colts had already guaranteed their top-flight status for next season with their second place finish in the First Division, along with champions and near-neigbours ‘s.
Roberts, who along with team-mate Neil Paynter, has been in many finals during illustrious careers believes the Shield win would be a good stepping stone in their preparation for the Premier Division.
“The guys have worked hard the whole season, and this is pay-off for all the hard work that was put in,” said Roberts.
“It’s good to come away with something, we were unfortunate to not win the league but it’s always a bonus to win something and take this with us to the Premier Division.
“The win is a morale booster for us, we stuck together next year, so it’s a stepping stone for us and to win today.”
“It’s a pleasure to play in the final.
“Neil and I have played in many and it’s always great to play at the National Sports Centre, and for us to win another title is great.
“It’s always pleasing to win something.
“This is a new team for me and I’ve enjoyed playing with the guys and for the club.”
