Islanders beat Ballstars in BVIFA Premier League
The Islanders secured all three points with a hard fought 2-0 win over the young Ballstars courtesy of first half goals from Francis Primo and Nano Ottley.
Although reduced to ten men in the second half, the Ballstars put up a brave fight to get back into the game, but were unable to get on the score sheet, despite having a large slice of possession.
“I’m pretty pleased with the outcome” commented Islanders Coach, Lenroy Henry “We stuck to the task that we practiced and came out ready to play. The Ballstars played well in the second half, so I take my hat off to them.”
Ballstars’ Coach, Vincent Samuel lamented his team’s slow start to the game which cost them the goals “We started the game flat and paid for that. We did not start how we practiced, but the second half was much better. The advent of the red card made a difference as I felt the game could have gone either way up until that moment.”
The draw for the nine a side was conducted by Mr. Keith “Grell” Griffith, the BVIFA Technical Director and the Honourable Marlon Penn.
“It’s a very important tournament event for us to be hosting in East End” said Hon Marlon Penn. “We are looking to create a whole sporting complex in the East and this is a precursor of things to come in football for our community. I’m looking forward to seeing the teams come out and play and for great things during the tournament”
