Cougars win FA Cup to complete Triple Crown

Devonshire Cougars completed a domestic clean sweep today, winning the FA Cup to seal the coveted Triple Crown.

Coach Dennis Brown’s side had already bagged the Friendship Trophy and the Digicel Premier League before their 3-0 win over Somerset Trojans at the National Sports Centre completed the hat-trick.

Midfielder Moses Steede scored twice — the first from the spot after a foul by Somerset keeper Shaquille Bean — and Domico Coddington was also on target to wrap up the club’s most successful season.

Trojans had a golden chance to level the game with 12 minutes left, only for Ijahmon Mallory to see his penalty saved.

Coddington and then Steede again made them pay to spark wild celebrations among the Cougars players and fans.

Shadow Minister of Sports Michael Weeks today congratulated the Devonshire Cougars for their triple crown season having won the League, FA and Friendship cups.

Mr. Weeks said, "The Devonshire Cougers have earned their place in history with this remarkable achievement. This outcome is evidence of the hard work and determination of the players and the commitment of the executive and supporters of Devonshire Cougers.  We are sure Dame Lois Brown- Evans is celebrating in heaven today after witnessing the skill and determination of her beloved cougars!  Well done to these outstanding young Bermudians."
