Playing in soggy conditions, Isaiah Giles made the mud worked in his favour to register a hat trick scoring in the 28th, 60th and 73 minutes of play. However, it was his cousin Comwell Davidson who opened the scoring in the 21st minute after both teams found it difficult to control passes and take advantage of plays in the goal area due the water on the outfield.
In the 51st minute, Central Corentyne got their consolation goal from the penalty spot when Shade Cameron got goalkeeper Odinga Albert to go the wrong way allowing ball free access to the nets.
Meanwhile, when Sheldon Simpson had a shot from the penalty spot to make it 5-1, he put the ball straight into the hands of goalkeeper Lynray Tyndel who made a diving save.
It was JC Chandisingh’s second year in the competition having a 10-1 victory over Overwinning in their first game last year before surrendering to Orealla in their second round game last year.
JC Chandisingh will now come up against Canje Secondary at the same venue on June 29.
Canje sent a strong warning to all opponents in their way when they recorded a 20-0 win over Overwinning in their last game.
