TOP OF the table, Barrackpore United maintained an assailable lead when they trounced runners-up Manahambre United 5-0, as the Barrackpore Football League recently continued over the weekend.
The tournament’s top goal-scorer, Teba McKnight and Nigel Davis both netted twice while Andy London slotted home the fifth to seal victory.
Third placed, St Charles United also dropped points when eighth spot AKA FC clinched a crucial 2-1 win.
AKA FC’s Chris Modeste and Shurland Fletcher scored one each while Barry Carrington (St Charles) netted once. This was a significant blunder for St Charles since a victory would have seen them move into second position.
