AVC KUWAIT KIFF LEAGUE AND SEASONS CHAMPIONS 2005 AVC- Kuwait sponsored by Dawat Restaurants Kuwait have become the Kuwait Indian Football Federation (KIFF) League champions to claim the Late J.P. D'Mello Troupe by defeating archrivals Navelim Youth Center in the finals held on 1st July 2005 on Soor Grounds. The Chief Guest for the finals was V.K. Vohra and Raymond DSa was the guest of honour.
The game started on a cautious note with NYC dominating the opening session of the first half and AVC was lucky not to concede a goal as the woodwork came to their rescue. After withstanding the onslaught of NYC in the first fifteen minutes AVC came into their own and in one whirlwind move the fleet footed Molvito took the NYC goalkeeper in his stride and scored a gem of a goal. Goaded by this AVC kept up the tempo and NYC was lucky not to concede again with Molvito and Roland missing easy sitters. (Photo courtesy: AVC / http://www.goa-world.com) The second half was purely dominated by AVC, and as they were approaching to consolidate their lead, the referee pointed to the dreaded spot for an alleged foul on NYCs forward and NYC equalized. The game then went into tie-breaker after extra time yielded no result. Once again AVCs goalkeeper Nicholas was the hero and gave his team the well deserved win and the championship and denied NYC a win against AVC in the last two seasons. Nicholas saved one and denied Britto who used his mouth than his feet in the last kick. It may be noted that AVC had defeated NYC in the regular tournament to claim the "Season Champions" title. A wholesome achievement for AVCs President John Furtado and his boys for achieving this unique feat after finishing third in the last two seasons and a fitting tribute to the critics who had written off AVC as chokers. Once again as predicted "the Real Madrid of Kuwait Goan Soccer" ruled the roost on Soor grounds in the season 2004-2005. Long live AVC-Kuwait. In the third and fourth place playoffs Bombay Boys defeated G.O.A Maroons by two goals to nil. At the prize distributing ceremony the KIFF President Tony Dias welcomed the guests and thanked the sponsors. Cajetan (Pereira) de Sanvordem (Registrar, KIFF) compeered and Xavier Furtado (General Secretary KIFF) proposed the vote of thanks. The following prizes were awarded: KIFF League Champions (Late J.P. D'Mello Troupe): AVC. Season Champions: AVC. Third place: Bombay Boys Sports Club. Fourth Place: GOA Maroons. Man of the Finals: Nicholas of AVC. - Report by A.
