Daniel Favourite broke the deadlock in the seventh minute with a powerful right-footed strike to the left-hand corner, after skilfully turning his marker in the centre of the field upon receiving a pass.
Defender Solomon Austin would then increase their lead two minutes later with a first time strike into the right hand corner after receiving a flat right-sided Eon Alleyne cross on the left side of the field.
Alleyne would then cap off a fine team showing as he set up Andrew Gad’s 17th minute goal with a left-sided pass to the player following a two-on-one situation with the final defender.
Also maintaining their unbeaten run in the event was Albouystown-A who defeated D’urban Street 2-0 compliments of a Shaka Jones double. Jones opened the scoring in the 14th minute, slotting his effort down the middle of the goal, after collecting a right-sided Shawn Smith pass. He would then seal the win in the 24th minute, completing his double in a similar manner with a simple right-footed attempt to the centre of the net, after receiving a Devon Dooker right-sided pass.
Sparta Boss maintained their perfect record as they squeaked past Bent Street by a 1-0 score line in the final matchup of the night. Sheldon Shepherd was the difference between the two sides as he found the back of the net compliments of a first half effort in the fifth minute.
Picking up a loose ball unchallenged on the left-sided of the field, the versatile defender would rifle his right-footed strike down the middle of the goal to seal the vital three points for the East La Penitence-based unit.
