U15s hit Avengers for six!
Keithreece Smith opened the scoring for the U15s in the 20th minute with a low drive past Gloria Fahie, before Laresha Martin doubled the advantage just before the break, smashing home an unstoppable half volley.
Morgan Creque was then on hand to make it 3-0 early in the second half when she nodded home from close range after a Martin effort rebounded back of the bar. Smith scored her second following a lay back from Creque and Jackisha Rigobert made it 5-0 by delicately curling an effort inside the far post.
Martin rounded out the scoring in the dying moments to give her team 10 points from 5 games and a 3 point cushion at the top of the table over the Panthers and Ballstarz.
Those two clashed in the day’s second game knowing it was a must win encounter.
The Ballstarz struck early via the boot of Emily Lockhart and were able to hold on despite a tremendous performance by the Panthers. Both teams, in truth, produced the game of the season and it took all the skills, endeavour and experience of the Ballstarz to claim all 3 points.
The win puts both teams on 7 points, but the U15s have a tremendous goal difference advantage over their rivals heading into the last round on Sunday January 18.
In the Men’s Division, Islanders were handed a place in next Sunday’s final with a forfeiture by Rebels F.C.
The result, declared by the rules as a 3-0 win for Islanders, was more than enough to see them leap frog Old Madrid and finish atop Group B.
The Panthers game against One Love was also a forfeiture, giving the Panthers their first win, 3-0, of the season, but made no pact on the Group A standings as the Ballstarz had already secured progression into the final.
