St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Andre Fletcher was straightforward with his words after his side ended their CPL 2024 campaign with a ninth defeat in a row at the hands of Trinbago Knight Riders in Tarouba on Sunday.

Yesterday alone, they dropped Nicholas Pooran at least four times. The in form left-hander then led a chase of 194 with an unbeaten 93 off 43 balls.

According to ESPNCricinfo logs, the Patriots had at least 23 dropped catches throughout their 10 games this season.

"The guys [bowlers] executed well and dropping five catches in a crucial game, especially a world-class player as Pooran…I know, but not many people know, we dropped 28 catches in the tournament," Fletcher told ESPNCricinfo.

"As a fielding team, it's poor, way below poor. It actually cost us a lot of games, which we lost."

Despite their retched form as a team this season, Fletcher praised his team-mates for having each other's back through the tournament.

Across the last two seasons, the Patriots have a record of two wins against 18 losses.

"Knowing that it was a bit hard and tough for us losing, but tried to keep the team together as much as possible. We had a lot of team-bonding activities. Yes, as much as we weren't showing it on the field, but sometimes when teams lose, you tend to have a lot of bickering in the team, but we never had that. We stuck together and we gelled as a team and it's just sad that the result didn't show. But I must say that we stick as a family,” he said.

"Just want to apologise to the St Kitts and Nevis fans. I know you guys are hurt, so am I. Unfortunately, we didn't get it well this year, hopefully, next year it will be better," he added.

Individually, the 36-year-old had a productive tournament with the bat, scoring 318 runs in ten innings at an average of 31.80 and strike rate of just under 150.

Along the way, Fletcher became the highest run-getter in the history of the CPL, but Johnson Charles, whose team has made the playoffs, has a chance to surpass him.

"I'm very pleased, to be honest, [with my batting]," Fletcher said. "People tend to remember the last thing you do. I really wanted to come out here and show what I'm worth. I'm happy to put on a great total for the team but unfortunately, we didn't get over the line. But that's how cricket goes at times."

St. Benedict’s College are now leaders of the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Premiership after a hard fought 1-0 win over four-time premier division winners Naparima College at the Mahaica Oval in Port Fortin on Saturday.

The 2022 champions and 2023 runners-up got a second minute goal from Trinidad and Tobago youth player Josiah Ochoa to continue their unbeaten run in the young league season.

Reigning champions Fatima College were also winners on Saturday, 2-0 away to national intercol holders Presentation College (San Fernando) at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella.

The goals came from Levi Smith in the 75^th minute and reigning SSFL Player of the Year, Michael Chaves in stoppage time.

Arima North Secondary and Malick Secondary entered the match day atop the 16-team table, and they still couldn’t be separated after 90 minutes at the Arima Velodrome as they played to a 1-1 draw.

Josante Duncan opened the scoring for Malick in the 28th minute, with Arima getting a 54th-minute equaliser through former Fatima student Micha’el John.

On Serpentine Road, St Clair, hosts St Mary’s College and Signal Hill Secondary played to a 2-2 draw.

Signal Hill took the lead in the fourth minute through Khaleem Trim before a brace from St. Mary’s captain Kyle Phillip in the 31^st and 49^th minutes gave them a 2-1 lead.

That lead lasted just 10 minutes as Antonio Hopkins equalised for Signal Hill.

Newly promoted Miracle Ministries Pentecostal High School, who conceded 16 goals in their first three games, got their first points of the season thanks to a 1-0 win over Queen’s Royal College with St Augustine Secondary edging St Anthony’s College by a similar score to open their 2024 account as well.

Aaron Clement was the goal scorer for Miracle Ministries Pentecostal while Elijah Baptiste was on the score sheet for St. Augustine Secondary.

Finally, Trinity College East also got their first points of the season as first-half goals from Khaleem Prince and Xavier Maricheau earned them a 2-1 win over east giants San Juan North Secondary.

St. Benedict’s currently lead the standings with 10 points while Arima North Secondary (8), Malick Secondary (8), Fatima College (7) and Naparima College (7) round out the top five.

The latest edition of the FIFA Coca Cola Men’s World Rankings have seen Barbados avoid their lowest ranking ever, instead moving up two places to 175^th.

This move was as a result of a pair of wins in League C of the CONCACAF Nations League over the Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands.

The Kent Hall coached team first beat the Bahamians 3-2 on September 7 before putting three past the USVI with no reply three days later.

Both games were played at the Bethlehem Soccer Stadium in St. Croix.

The Tridents enjoyed the fourth biggest move in the CONCACAF region in terms of points added during the September window, only trailing Belize, the Dominican Republic and St. Lucia.

Prior to the September window, Barbados had endured a tough run of fixtures, going winless in eight matches, including two heavy defeats to Dominican Republic.

They will be aiming to bounce back up to League B in the CNL when they play the same two opponents at the Wildey Turf next month. 

Further wins at home in October would see Barbados taking another jump in the standings.

Daniel Gazdag scored twice as the Philadelphia Union thrashed rivals D.C. United 4-0 in MLS on Sunday, maintaining their push for a playoff berth.

Hungary international Gazdag netted either side of half-time and was joined on the scoresheet by Mikael Uhre and Tai Baribo as the Union ran riot at Subaru Park.

Uhre scored for a fourth straight game just 13 minutes in, tapping home after good work from Quinn Sullivan on the right flank, then Gazdag doubled Philadelphia's lead three minutes later.

He pounced on a poor clearance from Christopher McVey to lash a shot past Alex Bono, later doubling up by capping a swift 69th-minute counterattack.

Baribo got in on the action between Gazdag's goals by heading home Sullivan's cross, with D.C.'s best opportunity for a consolation seeing Boris Enow's shot deflect off Nathan Harriel and rattle the post.

While Philadelphia continue to occupy the Eastern Conference's final wild-card berth with four regular-season games to play, D.C. are three points adrift of the playoff picture in 13th.

Data Debrief: Gazdag at the double

Gazdag's brace took him to 17 regular-season goals for 2024, seven more than any other Philadelphia player has managed, with Uhre bringing up double figures on Sunday.

Only D.C. captain Christian Benteke – who was limited to two shots totalling 0.14 expected goals (xG) on Sunday – has outscored him in MLS this term (19 goals).

A high scoring affair in the second match of the day in the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) saw Trinbago Knight Riders end the season for the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots with a seven-wicket defeat.

After winning their first match of the competition the Patriots have lost every game since, but this defeat in Tarouba seemed particularly cruel after they posted a sizeable 193-4 with the bat after being inserted at the toss.

Captain Andre Fletcher led from the front with a brilliant innings of 93 from 61 balls that included shots all around the ground and six sixes struck into the crowd. Fletcher was denied a deserved century, falling short by seven runs when Chris Jordan had him caught by the bucket hands of Kieron Pollard on the long off boundary.

Jordan was the pick of the Knight Riders bowlers and also gave a glimpse of his own Velcro hands by pulling off an impressive diving catch off his own bowling when Kyle Mayers, on 60, mis-timed a short ball and offered up a sharp return chance.

The Knight Riders were clinical in their chase, Jason Roy blitzing 64 runs from 34 deliveries at the top of the order before Nicholas Pooran finished the job in some style, striking a flat six down the ground - his seventh of the evening – to finish the match.

Pooran was Player of the Match, hitting 13 boundaries to finish undefeated on 93 off just 43 deliveries, albeit he was aided by some sloppy catching that saw him put down on a handful of occasions in the field.

The Patriots will rue the dropped catches and the missed opportunity to finish a tough campaign with a victory over one of the favourite sides. The Knight Riders will benefit from a Net Run Rate boost having hauled down the sizeable target with nine balls remaining, they now sit on ten points alongside Barbados Royals and Guyana Amazon Warriors.

Reigning Jamaica Premier League champions Cavalier SC began their title defense in dramatic fashion with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Portmore United at Sabina Park on Sunday. Cavalier, who lost twice to Portmore United last season, found themselves trailing early after Tarick Ximines gave Portmore the lead in the 19th minute. However, Cavalier responded swiftly with Jalmaro Calvin netting the equalizer just six minutes later.

The turning point came in the 60th minute when an own goal from Portmore’s Akeem Mullings handed Cavalier the decisive advantage, securing all three points to kick off their season on a high note.

Elsewhere in the Jamaica Premier League, Vere United rebounded from their opening loss to Montego Bay United with a 3-1 win over Molynes United. Roshawn Oldfield opened the scoring for Vere in the 11th minute, but Jeremy Nelson quickly equalized two minutes later. Vere, determined to avoid another setback, restored their lead in the 25th minute through Denzel McKenzie before Romarion Thomas sealed the win with a late goal in added time.

Promoted side Racing United also celebrated their first-ever win in the top flight, edging Dunbeholden FC 1-0. Mikyle Williams' 40th-minute strike proved the difference, earning Racing United a valuable three points after their narrow 1-0 loss to Waterhouse FC in their opening game.

Meanwhile, Humble Lion and Tivoli Gardens played to a 0-0 stalemate, with both teams settling for a point in a tightly contested match.

The early rounds of the Jamaica Premier League have already delivered plenty of action, with Cavalier SC's comeback setting the tone for what promises to be another thrilling season.

The four teams to make the playoffs of the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) may have been decided but that did not stop the Barbados Royals and St Lucia Kings slugging it out in Providence with bragging rights and momentum all to be played for.

Both sides have booked their place in the 2024 CPL Playoffs along with Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Trinbago Knight Riders and there was only NRR to split them ahead of the match with both sides winning five of their seven matches and losing two to sit on ten points apiece.

Royals captain Rovman Powell won the toss and elected to field first but his bowlers struggled to make as much impact as they’ve been used to throughout the tournament so far. Nevertheless, Royals wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock showcased his lightning quick hands to get rid of Faf du Plessis and Roston Chase, both stumped off Maharaj and Theekshana respectively as the Kings chipped away.

Johnson Charles played some muscular sweep shots to clear the boundary rope, top scoring with 53 runs off 42 balls, he was supported by Ackeem Auguste with 35 off 32 before the latter had to retire hurt. Tim Seifert then struck a late flurry of boundaries to get the Kings to the highest total scored at Providence in this year’s competition – 162-3 would take some chasing.

The Royals stellar batting card got off to a flier in response – reaching 56 without loss before Alzarri Joseph got rid of the dangerous de Kock for 22 off 13 balls. Kadeem Alleyne had actually been the main aggressor for the Royals, particularly in the third over when he smashed three consecutive sixes off Roston Chase. The Kings then struck back by picking up both Rahkeem Cornwall and Rovman Powell cheaply

Royals reached 100/4 in the 13th over before Noor Ahmed stitched together a maiden to an increasingly frustrated David Miller in the 14th which left the Royals needing to hit 63 runs off the last 36 balls.

Miller atoned for his sluggish strike rate by bunting two boundaries in the next over but was caught at cover by du Plessis for 21 off 22 balls trying to find the fence again as the runs per over required climbed ever higher.

Alick Athanaze and Nyeem Young both fell in the latter stages to leave Royals needing 21 off the last over with Jason Holder and Maheesh Theekshana at the crease. Theekshana got a single off the first ball to get Holder on strike, an edge for four followed to keep Royals in the hunt. David Wiese then got the crucial breakthrough as Holder holed out to Khary Pierre on the long off boundary. Wiese held his nerve at the last to see Kings claim the victory by 13 runs.

Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, the 2021 Olympic gold medalist and 2024 bronze medalist in the 100-metre hurdles, and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning world record holder in the 400-metre hurdles and four-time Olympic gold medalist, were honored as part of the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2024 on Friday night.

The induction ceremony, held at the Central Bank Center, celebrated the achievements of these two track and field stars along with fellow inductees John Cropp (administrator/coach), Henrik Larsen (rifle), Jodie Meeks (men's basketball), and Corey Peters (football).

Camacho-Quinn, who represented the University of Kentucky from 2016 to 2018, took to Instagram to reflect on her journey to this prestigious honour, sharing her gratitude and reflecting on her struggles. “I think I’m still lost for words," she wrote. "I started at the University of Kentucky a semester late. Spring of 2015 and was forced to redshirt. I wasn’t the most well-behaved student in high school and when I finally got my stuff together, it was too late. This caused me to stay home fall semester of 2014 and take online classes. But it was a part of my journey. This is MY story."

She went on to thank those who supported her through her college years, a time she admits was not always easy. "College wasn’t the easiest either. But everyone who truly believed in me and stuck by my side, Thank you.❤️ Thank you Mommy & Daddy. Thank you to my brothers James, Robert & Miguel. Thank you Sarah. Thank you Coach Flo. Thank you Barb & Passion. & Thank you God," she shared.

Though her college career spanned only three years, Camacho-Quinn's time at Kentucky was highly impactful. She won three NCAA titles—twice in the 100-metre hurdles (2016, 2018) and once in the 4x100m relay (2017). A six-time SEC champion, she also set four school records and remains one of the most accomplished athletes in Kentucky's track and field history.

"The journey wasn’t the easiest, but it was well worth it. Although I only got to represent for three years at Kentucky, those three years taught me so much about myself & life. Six years later after graduating, I am now a part of THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY HALL OF FAME!" she concluded.

McLaughlin-Levrone, who spent just one year at Kentucky in 2018 before turning professional, has become one of the most decorated athletes in the world. McLaughlin-Levrone set the collegiate record in the 400m hurdles during her time at UK, running 52.75 seconds to win the SEC Championship, a mark that still stands today. Her brief collegiate career also saw her win NCAA and SEC titles and break the world junior indoor 400m record.

Since leaving Kentucky, McLaughlin-Levrone has taken the track and field world by storm, winning four Olympic gold medals—two each in Tokyo and Paris—and setting the world record in the 400m hurdles in both Olympics. She most recently shattered her own record at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a stunning time of 50.37 seconds. In addition to her individual accolades, McLaughlin-Levrone anchored the U.S. women’s 4x400m relay team to gold in Paris, setting an American record in the process.

The Jamaican football community is in mourning following the sudden passing of longtime referee Wilverglen Lamey, who collapsed and tragically died while officiating a match on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Lamey, a well-respected figure in Jamaican football, collapsed about 15 minutes into a Business House semi-final match between Metrodade Security and Seprod at the Alpha Institute. Despite efforts to rush him to the Kingston Public Hospital, he passed away.

 The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Kingston and St. Andrew Business House Football Association (BHFA), and Waterhouse Football Club have all expressed profound grief and sorrow at the news of his untimely death.

 JFF President Michael Ricketts conveyed the federation’s devastation at the loss of such a committed servant of the game. “Mr. Lamey was a familiar face in games throughout the country. He was always ready to go in the middle in just about any competition. He served quietly and respectfully, ensuring that the games were held without disrepute. Sincere condolences to his family, friends, and the referee fraternity. May his soul rest in eternal peace,” Ricketts said.

 The Kingston and St. Andrew Business House Football Association (BHFA), under which Lamey was officiating at the time of his collapse, also expressed its deep sorrow at the loss. BHFA President Wayne Shaw reflected on Lamey’s passion for refereeing and his impact on the game over the decades. “I have known Mr. Lamey for over 22 years. He was one of the most dedicated referees I have ever met. He loved what he did, and his passion for the game was evident in every match he officiated. He will surely be missed,” Shaw said, adding that Lamey’s death has left the entire football fraternity in shock.

 The BHFA also encouraged the football community to rally around Lamey’s grieving family in this difficult time, acknowledging the deep impact his sudden passing has had on those who knew and respected him.

 Waterhouse Football Club, a team familiar with Lamey’s refereeing, also issued a heartfelt statement honoring his memory. “We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former FIFA referee Wilverglen Lamey. His dedication to the sport and his commitment to fairness on the field left a lasting impact on the football community. Wilverglen's passion for the game and his unwavering integrity as a referee will always be remembered. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Wilverglen.”

 Lamey’s long-standing dedication to the sport saw him officiating at every level of the game in Jamaica, earning the respect of players, coaches, and his fellow referees. His sudden passing leaves a void in the football community, but his contributions and passion for the game will not be forgotten

The Jamaica Down Syndrome Foundation (JDSF) is excited to announce the inaugural 'Bredrin Walk,' a 2km event designed to raise awareness, generate funds, and provide crucial resources for individuals living with Down Syndrome. Scheduled for October 13, 2024, at Hope Gardens in Kingston, the walk will celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month, observed globally in October. This milestone event signifies a significant step in Jamaica’s efforts to enhance understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of individuals with Down Syndrome while fostering unity across the community.

 Inspired by the 'Buddy Walk,' an event established by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995, the 'Bredrin Walk' has been rebranded to reflect the close bonds and mutual respect in the Jamaican community. The event will bring together families, friends, advocates, and supporters from across the island to celebrate the lives and achievements of individuals with Down Syndrome. Participants will walk side by side to promote the values of inclusion and solidarity, which have been central to the JDSF since its founding in 2007.

 Since its establishment, the JDSF has worked diligently to support families raising children with Down Syndrome, providing emotional and practical assistance, educational resources, and advocacy. The organization maintains a database of families with Down Syndrome children and offers guidance on utilizing available resources. Additionally, the JDSF has been instrumental in global advocacy efforts, contributing to the United Nations' recognition of March 21 as World Down Syndrome Day in 2011.

 Dr. Charmaine Scott, Founder and Chairperson of the JDSF, emphasized the importance of the Bredrin Walk, saying, "Down Syndrome is not a barrier to success, happiness, or love. It is a part of the beautiful diversity that makes our world richer and more vibrant. The Bredrin Walk will be more than just a fundraiser or an awareness campaign; it will be a celebration of unity, acceptance, and the relentless spirit of our community."

 Funds raised through the Bredrin Walk will directly support programs and services for individuals with Down Syndrome and their families, including educational resources, therapy sessions, and advocacy initiatives. The JDSF also acknowledged the crucial support from sponsors, including Hope Gardens, Jamaica Moves (MOHW), Kemtek Development, Jamaica Producers Group, CB Facey Foundation, Tim's Big Heart Foundation, CIBC, Courts Jamaica Ltd., and ND Communications, whose contributions have made the event possible.

 The JDSF invites all Jamaicans to participate in the Bredrin Walk and contribute to this movement of love, awareness, and support for individuals with Down Syndrome. With an entry fee of just $1,500, participants can register at Bredrin Walk Registration and be eligible to compete for a special armband raffle prize.

 Together, let us take steps towards making a meaningful difference and showing our collective love and respect for individuals with Down Syndrome, because when we walk together, we walk stronger.

Reigning champions Guyana Amazon Warriors defeated Antigua & Barbuda Falcons by 27 runs to book a place in the latter stages of the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The defeat for the Falcons means they are now eliminated and the final four for this year's event is now set.

The Falcons won the toss and elected to field first and in restricting the Warriors to 135-7, they gave themselves a real chance of pulling off a surprise victory. The Falcons bowling attack shared the wickets around and did well to restrict the Warriors batting card, only eventual Player of the Match Moeen Ali managed to really do any damage with the bat in hand for Warriors.

The recently retired England international struck 42 off 33 balls including three fours and the same number of sixes before a nifty run out by Joshua James put an end to his innings and kept the target a manageable one.

The Falcons batting unit got plenty of starts but the side eventually suffered for the fact that none were converted into a meaningful score. Wickets fell in a steady stream and were shared around by the Warriors – Ali picking up 3-/9 with his wily off spin and South African seamer Dwayne Pretorious pocketing three wickets from just 2.5 overs.

It was a sparkling performance in both disciplines from Moeen Ali who described it as an ‘honour’ to play for the Warriors adding “the crowd is unbelievable at home, it surprised me nicely!”

The defeat sees the end of the road in the 2024 competition for the Falcons, they had their moments but with only three wins in 10 games they depart with plenty to ponder.

The Warriors look a dangerous outfit in all facets of the game and were cheered on raucously by their home crowd who were left at the end of the evening with every reason to believe a title defence is firmly on the cards.

The 2024 CPL Playoffs will feature the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Barbados Royals, Saint Lucia Kings and the Trinbago Knight Riders.

Jonathan Rodriguez's stoppage-time header saw the Portland Timbers salvage a dramatic 3-3 draw at Real Salt Lake in MLS, after the hosts had inched ahead in the 89th minute.

Phil Neville's team, who are battling for an automatic playoff place in the Western Conference, twice appeared to be headed for defeat at America First Field.

They went 2-0 down within the first 22 minutes, Dominik Marczuk steering home at the far post before Diego Luna finished into an empty net.

Antony prodded home from a corner to half the arrears just after the hour mark, then Evander's stunning long-range free-kick levelled things at 2-2, but Real Salt Lake would inch ahead again late on.

Diogo Goncalves drilled home from the edge of the area to open his account in MLS, but that strike would not prove to be decisive as substitute Rodriguez met Miguel Araujo's hanging cross with a diving header, salvaging a point for Portland.

They sit eighth in the West with just four regular-season matches remaining, while Real Salt Lake are second but seven points adrift of the LA Galaxy, who beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 4-2 on Saturday.

Data Debrief: Portland's powers of recovery

Portland have made thrilling comebacks a theme of their campaign, and their powers of recovery were on full display once again on Saturday.

They have now scored 16 goals in the final 15 minutes of matches in MLS play this term, more than any other side in the competition.

William Knibb registered win number four on the trot in Zone D of the Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/Wata daCosta Cup as they blanked Cedric Titus 3-0 in a lopsided Trelawny derby at the parish’s stadium on Saturday.

Joshua Walker (36th), Jaheem Brown (50th), and Seron Williams (68th) propelled Dewight Jeremiah’s side to another three points as they remain in pole position ahead of Spot Valley, who also made it four-in-four as they blanked Muschett High 3-0 in the curtain-raiser of the double-header.

Both William Knibb and Spot Valley are on maximum 12 points, but the former continues to lead the way by virtue of a superior goal difference. Cedric Titus sit third on six points, and Discovery Bay is fourth on three points, while Muschett and Holland are yet to get on the board.

Jeremiah praised the performance of his youthful squad, which continues to grow with every game.

“The average age of the team is 14.5, but I think we learned from our last game against Discovery Bay that we had to be more creative when teams sit deep. The first goal epitomises what we did in training; we wanted all five vertical zones to be occupied when we attacked, and we had that in terms of the link up play, but the commitment that the boys showed today (Saturday) is above everything that we did, and that resulted in the clean sheet,” the tactician shared.

“Seron Williams is our second-string goalkeeper that we converted into a striker, and I think him and Jaheem Brown are just hugely technical. Joshua Walker also has an immense work rate; I played him at right back last season, and I am just teaching him to understand positional play in the middle of the park, and he soaks up everything,” he added.

Though William Knibb dominated proceedings, it was Cedric Titus that started more spiritedly as captain Terron Eccleston went on a break in the 25^th minute and was taken out by a defender at the edge of the 18-yard box. However, the resulting freekick amounted to nothing.

Eccleston again threatened three minutes later as he found space deep inside William Knibb’s quarters for a right-footed effort that just rolled wide of the left upright.

Having heeded the warnings, William Knibb launched a few attacks of their own, the first coming in the 36th when Walker finished from close range after getting on the end of a decent through pass from Koran Henriques to break the deadlock.

William Knibb should have doubled the lead in the 41st when Cedric Titus’ custodian Anthony Riley failed to gather the ball cleanly, but Prince Bernard somehow failed to convert from point blank range.

Still, with a 1-0 lead in their favour at the break, William Knibb were not disheartened and maintained their momentum on the resumption. They eventually doubled the lead five minutes in courtesy of Brown’s ferocious right-footed freekick from just over 20 yards out that had Riley beaten all ends up.

Williams pushed the game beyond Cedric Titus’ reach when Walker placed the ball perfectly into his path for a firm right-footed drive that left the hapless Riley flat-footed.

William Knibb should have had a fourth in the 76th as Riley again spilled the ball. However, Williams effort came back off the crossbar.

Cedric Titus fought on as Eccleston was sent through on goal, but their hopes of pulling one back were dashed as Camoy Phillips, in goal for William Knibb, left his line well to avert the danger.

Wade Crawford, Cedric Titus’ head coach, felt his team was lacking in all departments.

“We started the game slow and I think the game got away from us midway through the first half. It boils down to inexperience and the youngsters are learning the game; we are not as deep as we were last year so we definitely will be getting better but we need to work a little harder on our finishing. So it’s a work in progress,” he stated.
