He {Barker} followed up with goals in the 65th and 83rd minutes. Khan, a quick and nippy forward was a tormentor of the United’s defence throughout the encounter and on many occasions rather than finish on his own, would set up his colleague to score.
But he banged in three of his own in the 11th, 58th and 65th minutes to cement his side’s place in the semis. Hope was on target for his double in the 40th and 82nd minutes, while one each was scored by Kevin Sobers in the 6th, Junior Williams (18), Malachi Leacock (45), Raymond Khan (50) and Chaim Pathon in the 85th minute.
Diamond United, featuring a number of U15 players and their Coach Orein Angoy said they are preparing for the U15 and 17 leagues, were no push over’s and fought back admirably in spurts. They got consolation goals in the 64th and 69th minutes from Carlos Wilkie and Jaheem Small.
