It was the largest goal margin defeat of the season and, in a long time, registered in the island’s top-level football and national striker Armando Lashley played a major role by netting four of the nine goals in the match that kicked off at the Wildey Astro Turf.
Striker Dario Harewood put in two and national youth player, Sherian Hoyte, also accounted for two goals. Then national midfielder, Ackeel Apple, chipped in with one goal in the rout.
