BAS CUP FINAL 2024 – The Preview

On October 6th, football fans are in for an unforgettable showdown as Division A Champions, 905 FC, host Playoff Champions, Ebony SC, in the 22nd edition of the BAS Cup Final 2024 — a clash that is poised to be one for the ages!

Ebony SC has been the presumptive favourite since the competition kicked off, delivering extraordinary football since July, with just one loss in their last 12 matches. Their postseason dominance has been even more impressive, outscoring opponents 19-6. The trio of Darren Chambers, Richard West, and Rushawn Plummer has been an almost unstoppable force on the attack.

Ebony’s path to the Cup has been nothing short of sensational. They outlasted a resilient K&L Armada in the first round, crushed five-time Cup champions VSFC in the quarterfinals, and staged two thrilling comebacks to end the repeat title dreams of reigning champs G-Torino FC in last week’s epic semi-final. This final promises to be an epic showdown!

Though 905 FC may seem like underdogs on paper, they’ve been anything but on the pitch. Dominating their division with an impressive 8-3-1 record and outscoring all rivals, 905 FC is firmly positioned to claim their first Cup title. Even more telling, two of Ebony SC’s three losses this season came at the hands of none other than 905 FC. Hmmmmm!

Their journey to the Cup final has been just as remarkable. While they faced a scare in the opening round—allowing GNFC to narrow a 5-1 lead to a single goal—905 FC has been flawless since, securing commanding wins over Division B champions Hot Grabba FC and the Dashmesh Lions last weekend. And they’ve done it all with only limited support from their lightning-fast top scorer, Jordon “JJ” Smith, who missed much of the Cup run but is expected to return for the final—a boost that could make all the difference.

One thing is certain: a new Cup champion will be crowned for the BAS Cup Final 2024 on Sunday. It’s the perfect finale to a spectacular season of soccer in Brampton, and the stage is set for an unforgettable ending!
