Saints in comeback win

Home team Fatima led 3-1 and seemed well on the way to victory at the halfway stage before St Mary’s rallied with three unanswered second half goals.

First, Bernard scored just three minutes into the second half to cut the lead to 3-2, and after more CIC pressure, Jilani Christopher got the equaliser to make it 3-3 in the 85th, with five minutes still remaining in the match. Fatima would have hoped to hold on for a point at that stage, but Bernard struck in the 90th minute to give the Saint full points and a 100 per cent record after two matches.

Fatima had the brilliant start, getting a 16th minute opener from Dominic Jangoo and another from Marquise Hoyte seven minutes later to lead 2-0. Jangoo added a third in the 31st and home fans were buzzing, before the disastrous second half of the match.

Meanwhile, one of the big clashes in the East Zone saw St Augustine edge Arima North Secondary 3-2. Quasi Winsor netted a brace for the Arima team, but Ricardo John did even better for St Augustine, getting a hat-trick.
