Unicomer/The Cable Village Galaxy secured their first win of the SKNFA Division 1 season in dramatic fashion, staging a thrilling comeback to defeat SKELEC Garden Hotspurs 2-1 on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at Warner Park.
Trailing 1-0 for most of the match after Shaquille Adams’ 37th-minute goal, Village Galaxy refused to surrender. Their persistence paid off in the 81st minute when Davin Kelly found the equalizer. But the true magic came in stoppage time, as Kelly struck again in the fifth minute of added time, sealing a last-gasp victory for his team.
After the match, Village Galaxy manager Akin Phillip expressed confidence in his squad’s potential for the season.
“We were nine points down. We started off slow—two losses to Newtown, Dieppe Bay—but we had to get something out of this game,” Phillip said. “It’s about time we won a game. We’ve been losing since Premier (League). We scored goals tonight, and that has been our problem. We’ve got a lot more goals in store, a lot more wins in store. We’re going forward because we’ve got to catch up. Other teams have to watch out.”
