Playing under lush sunshine which was combated well by the cool breeze from the Atlantic Ocean that is in close proximity to the SSC ground, SHC Samarai lost their first game of the day to GCC Pitbulls in the boys’ under-20 division but took revenge soon after in the same division after SHC storm got past YMCA Old Fort (OF) Generals 3-1.

The men’s second division also witnessed a win by a SHC team with the Savages registering a needling triumph over YMCA OF Aces thanks to a 20 minute strike from Hilton Chester.
In the other two of the six matches played yesterday, Bingo GCC Spartans and YMCA Old Fort Bellas played to a dull 0-0 draw in the women’s second divison, while veteran GCC The Sequel got their campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over the younger Bounty GCC side; the goals came off the sticks of brothers Alan and Philip Fernandes.
