Net-Rockers and Topp XX battled to a drawn affair while Botofago crushed Silver Shattas when the Jermin and Family sponsored and coordinated ‘Mash Cup’ continued on Wednesday at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground, Linden.
Net-Rockers and Topp XX contested a 1-1 affair. Jamal Bentick opened the scoring in the 40th minute for Topp XX. It was a clinical header from Bentick, who directed his effort past the custodian after latching onto a cross inside the penalty area.
Net-Rockers eventually equalised in the 90th+1 minute as Deshawn Joseph found the back of the net. Awarded a penalty following a handball infraction, the experienced Joseph made no mistake as he thumped his effort past the opposing shot-stopper.
Meanwhile, Botofago dismantled Silver Shattas 6-1.
Second half braces from siblings Jamal and Shayne Haynes led the assault. Jamal etched his name on the scorer’s sheet in the 55th and 65th minute, while Shayne bagged his two strikes in the 66th and 78th minute. Adding goals in the 27th and 72nd minute respectively were Tevin Thompson and Antwoine Gill.
Damion Williams scored in the 5th minute for Silver Shattas.
