The second match between Hopetown Rangers and NA United resulted in a five nil routing of Hopetown Rangers by a relentlessly attacking NA United team, which forced Hopetown onto the defensive for most of their afternoon’s encounter.
The goal scorers were Tyrick Ogleton and Sceon Johnson with a brace of goals each, backed up by one from Sherwin Thomas, who actually opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. Sceon Johnson then made it 2 – nil at half time with the first of his double in the 36th minute.
Upon resumption Ogleton added his double strike in the 53rd and 69th minutes then Johnson crowned it off with his second goal in the 72nd minute, to complete the 5 – nil drubbing of Hopetown Rangers.
The third place game between Corriverton Links FC and Hopetown Rangers FC and the championship match between Monedderlust FC and NA United FC is expected to be another double header feature this weekend.
