The young Eagles tried their best to keep up with the experienced Slingerz but found out that the side coached by former National Captain Charles ‘Lily’ Pollard and Richard Reynolds (Goalkeeper Coach) would have been too much to handle.
Slingerz, Captained by the experienced Dwayne Jacobs made their presence felt from the 6th minute when Kester Jacobs inked his name on the score sheets albeit via a goalkeeper blunder by teenager, Rocky Reddy.
Reddy, voted the best custodian in the recently concluded WDFA Under-18 League found out that at the higher level it’s a whole different ball game. And despite letting that many goals, he never lost his zest and focus; clearly a Goliath vs David scenario.
The star for the Slinegrz side was Anthony Sancho who blasted a hat-trick, hitting the network in the 8th, 40th and 59th minute.
By the end of the first half, Slingerz were already 6-0 up and sensing another huge win. Eagles did try to stem the flow of goals in the second half and succeeded to some extent as they kept their rampaging opponents at bay.
The other players to ink their names on the score sheet were Clive Nobrega (15th), Dwayne Jacobs (22nd), Pierre Joseph (30th & 35th), Tichard Joseph (48th) and Kimba Braithwaite in the 57th minute. (F. Wilson)
