Pitch­men FC and Dream Team both record­ed dou­ble-dig­it wins when match­es in the South­ern Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (SFA) Pre­mier Di­vi­sion con­tin­ued last week­end.

In Group A, Joash Baird scored a beaver trick and Nkosi Charles a hat trick to fire Pitch­men to a stun­ning 15-0 maul­ing of Field of Dreams for their eighth win in nine match­es.

Ter­rique Ren­nie and Jor­dan Ri­ley chipped in with braces for Pitch­men while the quar­tet of Aki­no­la Gre­go­ry, Tyresse Mon­tano, Alee­quay An­drews and Om­ri Baird added a goal each in the vic­to­ry as they moved to 25 points at the top of the eight-team Group A stand­ings, ten ahead of Up­ris­ing Youths which was held to a 2-2 draw at home to fourth-placed De­porti­vo Point Fortin while Li­on Heart was award­ed a win by de­fault over New­com­ers.

In Group B, Jarelle Suther­land fired in a hat trick as Dream Team crushed Merikins Youth Acad­e­my 12-0 with Sen­bi Hart-Smith, and Ay­che Saun­ders con­tribut­ing a pair of goals each.

Aiden Sankers­ingh, Joshua Joseph, Ma­lik El­liot and Richard Mo­hammed were al­so amongst the goals for Dream Team with Dex­ter Burke of Merikins adding an own goal to make mat­ters worse for his team.

De­spite the win, Dream Team re­mained out­side the top three qual­i­fi­ca­tion spots to the ‘Big Six’ with ten points and in the fourth spot on the stand­ings, lev­el with fifth-placed #9 Unit­ed, 7-2 win­ners over Pe­nal Is Love Youth Move­ment led by a tre­ble from Ma­li­ki Clement.

Shakuile Williams fired in two goals in the win for #9 Unit­ed and Jah­bari John­son and Akel Sanchez, one each while Ho­laster Brown and Ish­mael Math­ews scored one each in the loss.

At the top of the ta­ble with a max­i­mum of 24 points from eight match­es is run­away leader Moru­ga/Table­land who edged Erin FC 2-1 thanks to items from the in-form duo of Kerdell Pierre, and Quinn Rod­ney to can­cel out Lewis Fe­lix’s re­ply.

Mas­call Foot­ball Acad­e­my, sec­ond with 19 points, dropped two valu­able points in its chase of Moru­ga/Table­land af­ter it was held to a 2-2 draw by Moru­ga FC.
