Gleaner Company defeated Scotiabank Group in the final of the 2011 Scotiabank Group sponsored Business House Football Knock Out Competition, 4-3 on penalties after they played to a 0-0 full and extra time draw.

Scotiabank Group had themselves to blame as they missed numerous scoring opportunities during the game. The most blatant being a point blank header by Ajuran Brown in the second half which went across the the goal. Gleaner's goal keeper Everdeen Scarlett was outstanding for his team, as he repeatedly denied Stefan Bartley, Akeem Themstead, Donavan Hibbert and Elgin Mitchell with some excellent saves.

Goal keeper Damion Crooks of Scotiabank was hardly called into action, but he prevented Loxksley Thompson and Keiron Brock from scoring in the second half. In the penalty Everdeen Scarlett, Bernard Blackwood, Loxksley Thompson and Fabian Swaby all scored for Gleaner. Nicholas McCreath, Norwayne Knight and Damion Gardener all scored for Scotiabank, but goal keeper, Everdeen Scarlett, saved Jermaine Gardener and Richard West spot kicks, to hand his team their second hold on the Knock Out trophy.

They will next play the winner of Division 2 in the Challenge competition on Wednesday September 7, 2011.
