The tournament, which is being run on a round-robin/knockout basis, saw Agard fire in his second hat-trick to lead the goal scoring in the competition so far and place himself in a wonderful position to win the top goalscorer award.
In the first encounter of the night, Church Boys met with Ninja Clad in an eight-goal encounter. Alvin Demattos and Eric Sampson both scored two while Nectar Prince chipped in with one to take Church Boys to 5. Ninja Clad were consistent with their replies, but Adonie Rutherford’s double and Kester Stewart’s one were not enough for the win.
In game two, Dream Team handed down a 5-0 thrashing to Cricketers. Orville Stewart, Dellon John, and Dorville Stewart all contributed, along with Kester Alleyne with a pair, to seal the win.
Hardball and Front Side Warriors battled in the third game. Matthew Robinson, Jermaine James, and Pernell Gordon tallied one apiece for their 3-1 win over Front Side, who could only muster Orin James’s lone goal.
The last game featured the powerhouse Family and Top Strikers. With all their players in tune, Family surged to a 7-1 victory. Agard netted three and was followed by Shamar Jones with two, Rondel Smith with one and Teon Jones with another. Top Strikers’ lone goal came from Darius Trumble.
The tournament, which has over $200,000 in prize monies to be won, will see the winning team receive $100,000 while the second and third-placed finishers will take home $50,000 and $25,000 respectively, along with trophies. The action will continue on Saturday, October 13 at the same venue with another set of exciting games.
