Stokely Vale are the new Digicel Tobago Football Association champions. They routed Earlbrokes 4-0 on home soil, in Plymouth, on Wednesday to reclaim the trophy they lost to Georgia United in 2008.
Earlier in the season, Stokely Vale triumphed in the FA Cup. The Plymouth-based team are now the holders of the three major titles in Tobago as they are the current Community Shield champions.
The ’Vale’ will have that trophy in their possession for another season since the Community Shield was not contested in 2009.
