Tivoli Gardens (TG) snatched a dramatic last-minute win over rivals Waterhouse FC yesterday, edging the visitors 1-0 in a feisty encounter, which was played at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex.

Weston Forest's late strike stunned everyone, none more than goalkeeper Keslo Cousins, who was left rooted like a tree. The goalie could only watch as the ball deflected off a defender, and into his net.

Goalscorer Weston Forrest, who is a former Waterhouse youth and senior player, lauded the win. In a show of respect for his old club, he did not celebrate.

"It was a good performance,"� he said. "We dug deep, played hard and I am happy it paid off with three points. I hope I can score more goals,"� he said.
