The Golden-Star was entitled to a final forcing the group of Wilhem Célestine, the Foyalais coach, to play the game to the fullest against the Golden-Lion, a regional club. The champions Antilles-Guyana delivered a game with intensity and big impact, a great preparation ended with this championship meeting last Wednesday (November 20) against the Gauloise.
