Following Uitvlugt’s example, Charlestown went down to the in-form Vergenoegen side by the same score line.
Ronaldo Macey took control of the match in the 4th minute, drawing first blood. Troy Skeete then did his thing in the 39th minute to add further damage and double the lead.
With Charlestown trying every strategy to score, Macey was allowed to beat the defense in the 42nd minute and pile on a 3-goal lead.
One minute before half time, Charlestown scored a consolation goal to take the score to 3-1; but when play resumed, Vergenoegen put the nail in the Charlestown coffin as Esan Heymar and Brentnol Bobb scored in the 47th and 54th minutes respectively.
In the other fixtures, Annandale defeated table-toppers Lodge Secondary to win their bout 2-0. Annandale were able to secure goals in the 22nd and 36th minute compliments of Junor Veira and Omari Glasglow.
