A 3rd hat-trick of the season by the League’s top goal scorer, Andrew Simmons piloted cup holders Rivers View to an easy 6-1 win over Mill Ballers. Simmons was on target in the 9th, 63rd and 65th minutes to take his season tally to 16 goals. Omareo Lake supported with a brace (51′ and 55′) and Aloysious Edwards one in the 35th minute. For Ballers, Nigel Alleyne got the consolation in the 28th minute.
