Vieux Fort South opened the evening with an emphatic 5-1 win over South Castries, breaking the tournament's favorites unbeaten streak. Led by Jevic McFarlane, who was named Player of the Final, Vieux Fort’s fast-paced offense saw goals from Obafami Poyotte and Moses Henry, each netting twice. Though South Castries struck back in the second half, an 80th-minute goal from Hosea Mathurin sealed the victory and Vieux Fort’s promotion to Tier 1.

La Clery’s Uhann Degazon quickly equalized, and Mervin St. Romain’s goal in the 80th minute, followed by Andrus Remy’s powerful strike in added time, secured La Clery’s 3-1 win and the championship.
Vieux Fort South and La Clery’s victories marked a historic night for St. Lucian football as they claimed their places as champions of the inaugural season.
