The second Semi-Final saw Snakebite square off against Bulova, this too
started off neck and neck, with both teams tied at the end of the first
chukker. The second chukker was almost goalless, except for Pablo
Crespin’s one and only goal of the match, bringing Bulova into the lead.
The third chukker though was really the decider; David Ashby of Snakebite,
kicked it up a notch and sunk two penalties hitting them high and hard as
he secured the lead for his team. The fourth chukker went to 50 seconds
before the final horn before another goal was scored, sadly for Bulova it
was not an equaliser but rather another goal by Snakebite, which handed
them the victory 4-2 and the second place in the Finals.
The final two teams were decided, Snakebite would face-off against
50
Rubis for the coveted title, and ICBL/Sport Lobster would face-off against
each other for the Subsidiary Final.
Although it seemed like a formality, there was still a game to be played
and a winner to be crowned; the Subsidiary Final was some-what of a
lacklustre affair which eventually saw ICBL/Sport Lobster take the
victory over Bulova 6-3. For the Final, Rubis were favoured to walk off
with the crown after playing undefeated for the entire tournament,
however Snakebite was coming into their own with only a first game loss
to their name. With Range Rover out of contention, one thing was
certain, a newcomer would carry off the 2014 First Citizens Barbados
Open title.
