Barva retains Costa Rican National League

BarvaThe Costa Rican National League (Clausura) has been won by Ferreteria Brenes Barva for the second consecutive season after the club defeated Coopenae-USJ Arba San Ramon. The narrow 77-75 victory helped Barva to the title in a decisive fifth game of the best of 5 series; it was the franchises eighth success in the competition.

It was a close encounter for much of the game, but the hosts did hold a double digit advantage at 69-59 in the third quarter. San Ramon came storming back into the contest to make it nervy and tense down the stretch. With the final buzzer approaching it was anybody’s game, but forward Rohel Wilson stepped up with a last ditch lay up to seal the win for Barva.
