Net-Rockers crushed Milerock 4-1 when the Upper Demerara Football Association-sanctioned ‘Mash Cup’ continued on Wednesday at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground, Linden.
The contest was effectively over at the end of the first half as Net-Rockers romped to a commanding 3-0 lead in the space of 16 minutes. Joel Isaacs commenced the rout under fortuitous circumstances in the sixth minute, as his free-kick from the top of the box, took a deflection and settled into the back of the net.
Shane Luckie got into the scoring act in the 13th minute, slotting home from inside the left of the penalty box unchallenged. Rawle Fraser made his presence felt three minutes onward, placing his effort into the bottom of the net, after latching onto a left side pass from Luckie inside the penalty box.
The scoreline ballooned once more in the 62nd minute as Luckie recorded his second of the evening, dribbling past his marker inside the penalty area, before slotting past the advancing goalkeeper.
Mario Depaz eventually recorded a consolation goal in the 83rd minute with a powerful shot from the top of the 18-yard area, which settled into the roof of the net.
Meanwhile, Botofago and Amelia’s Ward Panthers battled to a 1-1 stalemate.
Delon Luke found the back of the net in the 41st minute for Amelia’s Ward, only for Botofago to earn a share of the spoils in the dying moments compliments of a Dwayne Venture strike in the 89th minute.
The event continues today at the same venue. In the opening match, Hi-Stars will oppose Coomacka at 19:00hrs while Capital FC and Winners Connection will do battle at 21:00hrs.
