Plaisance overpowers St John’s Bosco in 2nd encounter

BV/Triumph 8th of May Movement Emancipation Football League…

Several rounds of riveting football action lit up the Beterverwagting Playground over the past weekend as the Plaisance team continued to show their prowess in the BV/Triumph 8th of May Movement Emancipation Cohesion Football League.

The League, which is being fuelled by Bakewell/Lloyd WP Britton/GO Benjamin/GLDA and NAREI, witnessed two rounds of magical football from the boots of Plaisance. On Sunday last, Plaisance registered their second demolition, this time exerting their power over the St John’s Bosco Orphanage team. Plaisance, entering the second round after a commendable first-round display against country team Mahaica, clearly worked hard on their game plan against St John’s Bosco, putting them on the defensive very early in the match, with Travis Simon scoring within the first two minutes of the encounter.
Throughout the match, Plaisance demonstrated their outstanding capabilities, with an exhibition of high levels of skill, tactic sand professionalism. These traits, which proved highly competitive for their first-round challengers Mahaica, gave St John’s Bosco a horrendous time, as four goals were scored in the first half of the 60-minute match, with Denzil King, Dwayne King and Vincent Thomas, respectively scoring in the 15th, 18th and 23rd minutes. And as if it was not already enough to rub salt into the wounds of St John’s Bosco, Thomas completed a triple when he added to his first-half goal, by drilling the net in the 41st and final minute of the encounter, to give Plaisance a convincing victory of six goals to nil.
Plaisance will play their third and final-round preliminary encounter against East Ruimveldt – one of the spectators’ favourites to win the league- on Friday, from 20:15h at the BV Playground.
The League, which kicked off on August 10, received the stamp of approval from Director of Sport, Christopher Jones, who stated that the BV/Triumph 8th of May organisation was truly “a movement”. Ten teams are currently competing for cash and prizes. The first-place winner will receive $350,000 while second and third will cop $250,000 and $150,000 respectively.
