FREEMAN SCORES HAT TRICK AS ST. PAUL’S DEFENSE PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE
It’s official: S. L. Horford’s St. Paul’s are the 2021 Super Six Tournament champions after they
dismissed SOL IAS Conaree FC 5-1 in game 2 of the Super Six finals Thursday night at the

Keithroy Freeman in the 21 st minute, followed by Kalonji Clarke in the 41st minute to give St.
Paul’s a 2-0 lead at half time. In the second half, it was more of the same: Freeman scored St.
Paul’s third goal with a brilliant through pass, but were pegged back a bit with an own goal by
Petrez Williams; putting Conaree on the board in the 66th minute. Perez made up for that mistake
when he scored a stunning free kick in the 81 st minutes, only for Freeman to score his hat trick
with the 5th and final goal of the match in the 88th minute. After the match, the Manager of St. Paul’s
Derionne Edmeade told reporter Virgil Hodge, St. Paul’s strategy to win the championship was

Coach Anthony “Nets” Isaac said at halftime, the players were motivated not to end the playoffs in last
position and came out much better in the second half. “The guys motivated themselves in saying we
have to go out there and score four goals because we are not coming last in this tournament,” Isaac
said. He said the club will have to discuss plans for next season.
One of Cayon’s Assistant Coach Valentine Anthony said he believes the players lacked concentration in
the second half, which led to the defeat. “Players feel like this is the last game of the season and we
were going out there to have fun but we have to regroup for next season hopefully things work out for
us,” Anthony said.
Meanwhile, in the night’s other match, the Spurs comeback was a bit more eventful. They took the lead
in the 5 th minute from a Dahjal Kelly strike only for St. Paul’s to equalize two minutes later, through a
thunderous Mahlik Clarke strike. A goalkeeping error led to Clarke scoring a second goal to give St.
Paul’s the lead, but Spurs were determined not to lose this match and were able to equalize in the 31 st
minute again through Kelly. It then took a late strike from Shervin Allen in the 86 th minute to give Spurs
the victory. Coach Austin Huggins, in commenting on the match, said they really wanted to get the three points to get the third spot and give the fans something to cheer about. “Even though we might not be able to carry home the big prize, we had to come out and play for the fans still and with some pride and also sportsmanship to finish the tournament and get ourselves together for the next tournament,” Huggins said. He said, looking to next season, the club will have to be rebuilt with younger players to make Spurs competitive. “We have a lot of senior players who might not be able to carry on for a very long time so we should be thinking to rebuilding the club so hat we can compete in the future,” Huggins said.
For St. Paul’s, this match was a consolation, after already booking their spot in the finals. “It’s disappointing. You always want to come out of every game with a win…you saw the type of team we fielded tonight knowing that we had already secured our position in the finals on Saturday,” St. Paul’s manager Derionne Edmeade said. “But still we were really hoping that we would win the game tonight. It was a late last-minute goal. You really have to give Spurs credit because they really had a lot to play for tonight,” Edemade said.
With those results, SOL IAS Conaree FC (10 points) and St. Paul’s United (9 points) are in the Super Six Finals entering first and second respectively. Garden Hotspurs finished in third place (8 points), Village Superstars, fourth place (5 points), St. Peters FC in 5 th place with five points, but a lower goal difference than Village and Cayon Rockets FC in 6 th place with three points.
