Element Agencies Bath Estate finally got Fast Cash, Ruben’s
Bakery, Sessemmi off their backs and took the Champions
title in the 2008 Cable & Wireless B-Mobile Harlem
Football League over the weekend. The Game ended 1 all
in regulation time, and given 20 minutes over time, the
match still could not be settled. That’s when referees
called for a penalty kick out to end the encounter,
adding even more suspense to the game. Bath Estate held
their nerves and won 3-2, sending fans into a cheering
frenzy. President of the Harlem Sports Club Don Leogal
told Q95 FM sports that Bath Estate had finally “lifted
the monkey off their backs” and congratulates both teams
for making the finals a memorable one

Jamaican football supporters hoping to see the Reggae
Boyz in action for the remainder of their World Cup
campaign, will have to dig deeper into their pockets for
matches at the National Stadium. According to President
of the Jamaica Football Federation, Captain Horace
Burrell, the programme had been hit by a three hundred
thousand dollar deficit, and the increase in ticket
prices is necessary, if the team is to qualify for
finals in South Africa in 2010. Seating in the bleachers
prior to the announcement was only 500 Jamaican dollars,
but will now cost patrons fifteen hundred dollars.
Jamaica qualified for the world cup ten years ago in
France, but failed in their last attempt in 2006.

West Indies captain Chris Gayle, who top scored in the
Third Digicel One Day International with 53, had some
stinging words of criticism for his middle order batsmen
who failed to capitalize on an opening stand of 86 in
17.4 overs. Gayle said that with the opening stand of
86, the team was looking to achieve a score in the
vicinity of 280 in order to ask the Australians to chase
a competitive total. In the end the visitors ran home,
achieving victory in 40.3 overs with opener Shane Watson
scoring 126 and Captain Ricky Ponting scoring 69.

The rebel Indian Cricket League has threatened to take
legal action if its players are banned from the Twenty20
Cup or Champions League.
England's Twenty20 Cup starts on Wednesday and the
finalists go into the Champions League, yet any team
fielding ICL players could then be ineligible. ICL
lawyer Jeremy Roberts told BBC Sport: "There is
certainly the possibility we will take legal action.
Only three counties do not have players with ICL
connections.
