BELIZE CITY, Wed. Sept. 13, 2017–Kulture Yabra Veterans were almost upset on Sunday at the MCC in their back match against Pickstock Lake-I, who held a 1-nil lead until late in Sunday’s match to draw the curtain on regular season. Lilly White (Edward Charles Rubio) reports are that Jermaine “Bowfoot” Zuniga gave Lake the go-ahead goal in first half; and could have made it 2-nil, but failed to convert a penalty after Lilly White was fouled in the area. With about 4 minutes remaining in regulation, Magic (Maurice Francis) came through for Kulture to secure the 1-1 draw. The 1 point gained from the draw by Kulture assured them “home court advantage” over third-place Mango Creek Veterans, who were tied in points with Kulture before the back-match draw.
