Dynamics FC drubbed Mahaica 6-0 thanks to an attack that was spearheaded with two braces from Bryan Wharton (25th & 43rd minutes) and Joshua Holder (54th and 60th minutes) after Antwon Grant (11th minute) opened the floodgates. Travis Williams scored the third goal of the match for Dynamics in the 37th minute.
In the opening match on Saturday, Melanie FC needled Buxton Stars, who needed just a draw to remain top of the points. However, Kobe Benjamin’s 68th minute strike in the closely-contested clash proved decisive as Melanie continued their purple patch.
