ST. PETERS WIN STREAK BROKEN, CAYON ROCKETS DEFEAT SANDY POINT

St. Peters FC’s six-game winning streak was broken on Friday when MFCR Old Road United
Jets, came from behind to defeat them 4-1 in Verchilds, in round two action of the SKNFA
Premier League. Tyquan Terrel put St. Peters ahead in the 28 TH min, and for a moment it seems
St. Peters were heading to their 7 th straight. But the second half was all Old Road. Tiquanny
Williams started the comeback with a penalty in the 52 nd minute. He followed that up with a
second goal in the 72 nd min to give Old Road the lead before Kaylon Liburd scored a third three
minutes later. Captain Nequan Browne put an exclamation mark in stoppage time with a 4 th goal.
Coach Alexis Morris of Old Road credited his team for their fight and resolve in the second half
to claim a resounding victory. “At the end of the first (half), we should not have been 1-0 down
with (Tiquanny) getting in front of the goal. On any day he would have been scoring those goals.
Nonetheless, we kept working and we dug deep and we found a way back, like I asked them
to…I know we were going to get one back within the first 10 minutes and that set up the game
for us,” Morris said.

VILLAGE SUPERSTARS WIN, ST. PAUL’S, NEWTOWN DRAW

Fast Cash Saddlers FC suffered a 4-1 loss to Rams Village Superstars on Saturday in the SKNFA Premier League at the St. Paul’s Playing field. Glenville Gumbs gave Saddlers a rare early lead in the 18 th minute, but that was soon erased when Village won a penalty, which was converted by G’vaune Amory in the 32 nd minute. In the second half, it was more Village, again earning another penalty, this time converted by Joseph Wilkes in the 60 th min. Kimaree Rogers then got two breakaway runs, scoring both in the 73 rd and in stoppage time. Assistant Coach for Village Vaughn Patrick said they had a slow start, but they encouraged the players to keep pushing. “We had a slow start; the fellows went out a little flat-footed. We went behind, we encouraged them, talked to them. We put in the fighting spirit. We got one goal; one led to two, two led to three, three led to four. We just keep on the pressure on them and play a little faster. We were too slow in the beginning,” Patrick said.
