Strikers – Gregg and Fabian Taylor notch early goals in each half.
UNDER 21:
Come from behind second half strikes from Lawrence Smith (Penalty) and Hodges made all the difference as the young “Stars of the East” rallied back to eek out the first victory in Round Two over Naggo Head, who had included some of yesterdays Manning Cup Champions from Bridgeport as Coach Anthony Patrick tried to repeat but found the result not in his favour.
PREMIER LEAGUE:
Intent to correct many defensive flaws from their first encounter in the seasons opener at Compound. Coach Lennie Hyde re-instituted goalkeeper Michaud Barrett “between the sticks” after 5 games, as Dwayne Miller assumed his number one position in the U21.
The mission’s objective, is clearly to witness marked improvement by each custodian who ultimately will be judged by producing a “clean slate”?
Barrett succeeded, as the newly crowned Premier League End of Round One Champions waltzed away with a comfortable 2-0 victory over a plucky Naggo Head unit well marshalled on the field by the “old-hand” Baris Johnson in defence, while newly acquired Coach Wayne “Kunta” Fairclough guided the Team from the bench.
Non the less, Gregg Taylor responded first to a four man combination play down the left initiated by Nicholas Dodd, on to the head of Richard Edwards who flicked on for Taylor to ram home from 14 yards into the roof of the net after 13 minutes. Fabian Taylor latched onto a swurling cross from Kevin Wooley on the right but dragged it wide of the mark from 17 yards out. Dodd, Thomas and Palmer all had strikes goal-ward but all drifted wide of either upright as the goalkeeper Jovan Spence scrambled from side to side with regularity.
He was to concede for a second time after 62 minutes when Lovel Palmer broke down the left to square for the arriving Fabian Taylor to head home from 9 yards.
Substitutes Kavin Bryan hit the goalkeeper twice, Kemeel Wolfe in his debut on his former Club grounds showed much promise with his awareness and vision while Kevin King heightened the tempo of the game with many bursts of pace on and off the ball.
