Port Authority and National Housing Trust (N.H.T.) won the respective Kingston and St. Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) Business House division one and two football titles following contrasting victories over Cement Company and Supreme Ventures on Saturday, at the Constant Spring playing field.

In the opening game, N.H.T. needed penalties to defeat Supreme Ventures 3-1 in the Division Two final, after both sides were locked at 1-1 after regulation and extra time. Jahmiah Pettigrew, Barrington Pettigrew and Kenroy McKay scored their penalties for N.H.T, while only Donovan Bernard netted his spot kick for Supreme Ventures.

Lead after eight minutes

Jahmiah Pettigrew earlier gave the victors the lead after eight minutes, but Steven Bryan equalised for Supreme Ventures.

In the feature match, the Division One final, Port Authority won 2-1 in regulation time, through goals from Grame Green (17th) and Hanif Shand (47th). Jermaine Rowe (27th) netted for Cement Company.

It was Port Authority's first triumph at this level after being in the league for only three years and coach Anthony Thompson sees it as a remarkable achievement.

"We are in Division One only three years and we have won the league, that's a major achievement.

"Coming into the game we had the psychological advantage as we beat them 3-1 earlier in the season, but we knew that Cement Company play aggressive football and they would come at us. We just kept our composure and that was the difference in the game."

Cement Company's coach, George Henry, blamed his team's missed chances for their demise.

"Overall, it was a good game. We got a lot of chances in the first half and didn't put them away and that is where we lost the game. Our opponents put away their chances and they came out on top, that's basically it."
