Guyanese forward Neron Barrow wasted little time making his mark in Jamaican football, scoring his first goal for Waterhouse FC in a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Mount Pleasant FA in the Jamaica Premier League on Sunday.
In just his second appearance for the club, Barrow delivered a moment of brilliance in the 24th minute, unleashing a spectacular strike that flew into the top corner, leaving the Mount Pleasant goalkeeper with no chance. The goal proved decisive in a tightly-contested encounter, as Waterhouse showed resilience and discipline to secure all three points.
Barrow’s goal was not only a showcase of his technical quality, but also a statement of intent from the new signing, who has quickly begun to repay the faith shown in him by the Waterhouse coaching staff.
Speaking after the match, the Guyanese attacker expressed his delight at opening his account for the club.
“Yeah, you know I’m feeling real happy, really happy right now scoring my first goal in the league,” Barrow said. “That is what I’m here for – to score goals.”
Waterhouse FC defended stoutly for the remainder of the match, with Mount Pleasant pushing for an equaliser but unable to break through. The victory strengthens Waterhouse’s position in the league standings and will boost confidence as the season progresses.
For Barrow, the goal could be the first of many as he settles into his new surroundings. With his pace, confidence, and eye for goal already on display, Waterhouse supporters will be hopeful that the Guyanese forward can play a key role in the club’s campaign.
