BASSETERRE: MFCR Old Road United Jets continued their dominant run in the National Bank Group/SKNFA Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Rams Village Superstars on Saturday, extending their remarkable unbeaten streak to 14 matches as the only team yet to suffer defeat this season.
Tiquanny Williams and Jardel Isaac found the net as Old Road brushed aside third-place Village in one of the weekend’s marquee fixture in the Premier League. The victory further cements Old Road status as one of the standout teams of the campaign, with their title credentials appearing unassailable as the season enters its final stretch.
Old Road’s defensive solidity once again proved decisive, recording another clean sheet to maintain their impressive record. The Jets have now established a commanding lead at the summit, with their relentless consistency.
For the Village Superstars, the defeat represents another frustrating setback in an inconsistent campaign. Despite flashes of brilliance, including their 8-0 demolition of Dieppe Bay, the former champions have struggled to find the sustained form needed to challenge at the top of the table.
In Saturday’s late kickoff, defending champions SL Horsfords St. Paul’s United snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory over bottom-placed St. Kitts Concrete Masters Sandy Point FC thanks to a last-gasp strike from Keithroy Freeman.
Freeman had given St. Paul’s the lead before Sandy Point equalized, setting up a tense finish. But the forward delivered when it mattered most, scoring a last-minute winner to extend the defending champion’s winning streak to eight consecutive victories.
The result keeps St. Paul’s remarkable resurgence alive despite their six-point deduction at the beginning of the season, while Sandy Point’s survival hopes suffer another blow. With just seven points from 14 matches, the bottom-placed side face an increasingly desperate fight to avoid relegation.
