With Eagles taking a default win, Cunupia FC failed to maintain its position as joint league leader when the club suffered a narrow 1–0 loss to Perseverance United in the Central Football Association (CFA) Hugo Francis Group, at the Hugo Francis Ground, on Friday.
An added time effort from Perseverance’s Kyle St Clair handed Cunupia its third defeat of the season, while the winning team soared over Perseverance Ball Runners for third spot. Cunupia, which played a match more than leader Eagles FC thus far, sits three points behind.
In the Henry Franklin Group, Edinburgh 500 made up ground on the leader Coosal’s Las Lomas following a 3–0 win over rock-bottom Cap Off Youths. Tevin Peters scored the only goal of the first half, before Stephen Julien and Nationa Cadore added one each in the second half for the home team, Edinburgh.
