Gonzalez nets 4 as Sugar Boys demolish VG United in Super 6!

The Sugar Boys FC cemented themselves atop the Super 6 standings with a 5-1 demolition of archrivals VG United on Sunday, April 11, 2021 at the VG Recreation Ground.

Despite all the hype and expectation of a fiercely contested local derby, Sugar Boys scored twice early (Rolland Roberts, 9th min, German Gonzalez, 18th) to dent the hopes of their rivals and then made it 3-0 (Gonzalez,31st) by the break. Despite a half time pep talk from Coach Jermain Abrams, VG United were unable to claw back into the game, conceded two more goals to Gonzalez, who made it a quadruple (85th and 90 +4) and were eventually well beaten.

“Cudos to McGraw (Baptiste) and his team,” commented Jermain Abrams, VG United coach. “We didn’t play like a team trying to break into the top six and the game didn’t live up to the hype from our point of view. Once we conceded the early goals it was a long road back into the game and although we pulled one back (an own goal in the 50th min) we gave away to sloppy goals and we have a lot to do still to reach their standard.”

Rebels hold Lion Heart to draw!


On Saturday, April 10, 2021, at East End/Long Look, the Rebels FC garnered their first points of the season, denting the surging Lion Heart FC in the process with a 2-2 draw.

All the scoring came in a frenetic first half as first Lion Heart raced into the lead as Davian Doley scored in the 11th. Curtly Peters levelled the game in the 30th before Doley scored again to restore the lead in the 31st. However, just six minutes later Lion Heart conceded an own goal and neither team could break the stalemate from there on in.

Panthers mauled by One Caribbean


Also, at BVIFA Headquarters, on Sunday, Panthers FC dismal run continued as they suffered a 4th consecutive defeat, this time 4-1 at the hands of One Caribbean FC.

It took Adrian Padilla less than a minute to open the scoring and further goals came from Romano Peters (18th), Carlos Septus (pk 52nd) and Rogel Noel (70th).

“We came into the game knowing only a win was good enough and had a game plan to control possession and take the attack to them,” commented Coach Morris Mark.

“Our U17’s started the game and maintained the high intensity, attacking style and the Panthers were unable to stop us.”

Nigel Sanderson scored a late consolation for the Panthers, his Golden Boot leading 10th of the season.

Wolues ease past Old Madrid


In the other game played, Wolues FC had a comfortable 2-0 win against Old Madrid FC who are also seeing their chances of reaching the knockout stage diminish as they have only picked up one point out of the last nine available.

Old Madrid had the better of the first half, but fell behind in the 51st minute, when Noel Maxwell latched onto a free kick from James Drury and rolled the ball past the keeper. The lead was doubled by Michael Palladino in the 67th minute as he popped up at the back post to turn in a cross by the over lapping Chris Pease.

“They outplayed us in the first half, winning every ball. However, we changed things around in the second half and played more aggressively” noted Phillip Nelson “Glady it paid off and as they have had the better of us in recent games, the win felt good.”
