PARADISE are the new Under-23 champions of the Karson Bovell Northern Development Cup.
The outcome had to be decided by a penalty shoot-out, which was won 4-2 by Paradise against St Andrew Lions at the Boscobel Playing Field on Monday night after the scores were locked 1-1 at the end of regulation and extra time.
