A couple on target shots from South Ruimveldt were well saved by Canje’s Goalkeeper Naquin Samuels as South pushed forward in the first half.

The teams battled for possession but the Berbicans demonstrated better ball control and Glen soon found the back of the net in the 25th minute.

South raised their intensity a bit in the second half and looked the better side as the Canje players seemed to tire before Hartman scored his team’s fourth goal.
Samuels was finally beaten in 51th minute as South Ruimveldt’s lone goal came off the boot of Godfrey Weekes.
The action continues on Saturday with a triple header and Sunday with another three matches. Christiansburg Secondary are the defending Champions.
