Charlestown goalkeeper made to make a spectacular punch out to deny a header from a St. Stanislaus player during their encounter yesterday.

After the game remained deadlocked at 2-2, it forced penalty kicks to decide the winner and St. Stanislaus won 4-3 sending their supporters into rapturous celebration.
Earlier, Donavan Mickle (22nd) and Kwesi Thompson (28th) netted for the winners, while Collis Bets responded with a double in the 31st and 35th minutes of play.
In the game at Tucville ground, Tucville hammered Central High 5-0 through goals off the boots of Derwin Fitter, who netted a brace in the 30th and 35th minutes, while there was one apiece for Kevin Andrews (17th), Vermon Munroe (41st) and Stephen Enoe (52nd) penalty.
