Nuvem capture Riffa Boys 8-a-side Soccer Cup in Bahrain


NUVEM edged past Navelim 1-0 to claim the Riffa Boys Eight-A-Side Soccer Cup, held on the second day of Eid at the East Riffa open grounds.
Joaquim Fernandes netted the winner in the second half of the final, with a rasping drive that gave no chance to Godwin Pinto in the Navelim goal and secure Nuvem the winners' trophy for the one-day tournament.
It was only the second tournament Nuvem participated in since the formation of the team by Steven Dias, which includes former Canacona player Edward Sequira, Marcel Barretto, John Silvera and Mark Gomes with new players Beta Sequira, Fermin, Vincy, Franky, Joaquim Fernandes and Mario Palha.
Earlier in the day, Sarzora Youth claimed third place after defeating Goan Youth United 2-1.
The teams were awarded their respective trophies by Cyril D'Silva and Cherryl D'Silva, in the presence of Fr Andre Fernandes from Goa.
