Coach Al Edwards of Cayon said the victory was a result of his team getting back players who
were missing through injuries and suspension. “It feels good to get back in the winners’ circle. It
feels comfortable, it feels good…once we continued our plan, we broke them down…and took
control of the game,” Edwards said.
Assistant Manager of Sandy Point Shane Jeffers said his team has to find a way to get victories
as round 2 begins this weekend. “The reality of it is that we have to try avoid relegation. We are
at the bottom of the table. We have to now look directly at teams that are directly (above) us and
work towards that,” Jeffers said.
Meanwhile the match of the weekend: Hobson Enterprises Garden Hotspurs came from behind
to draw 1-1 with Fast Cash Saddlers United; scoring in the dying moments of the match.

Interestingly, last week Sunday, Spurs gave up a 1-0 lead to draw with Newtown in the dying
moments of the match. This week, the tables have turned, but Coach Steven Brown of Spurs said
his team did not play well. “From my team’s perspective, I don’t think we played a very good
game today. Our passing was sloppy; honestly I don’t know why that happened. But we
managed to stick in, stay to the end and get a last-minute goal to salvage a point which is always
a plus in the standings right now,” he said.
Saddlers Coach Samuel Phipps bemoaned the fact his players lost concentration defensively to
concede that last minute goal. “Our goal keeper went down late in injury time and we gave up a
soft goal in my estimation,” Phipps said.
