BASSETERRE: Tiquanny Williams scored a magnificent hat-trick as MFCR Old Road United Jets crushed SOL IAS Conaree FC 6-1 on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run and tightening their stranglehold on the National Bank Group/SKNFA Premier League.
Williams was the star of another ruthless attacking display by the league leaders, with Nequan Browne, Shevene Boston, and J’Quante Fraser also finding the net at the National Bank Group Technical Center. The six-goal haul marks the second consecutive weekend Old Road have scored six times, demonstrating their relentless offensive firepower.
Old Road have now amassed 49 goals in just 13 matches while conceding only 10, producing a remarkable +39 goal difference that underscores their overwhelming superiority. With the regualr season all but decided, Old Road is setting new standards of excellence in the Premier League.
Defending champions SL Horsfords St. Paul’s United continued their remarkable resurgence with a 3-0 victory over Bath United, extending their winning streak to seven consecutive matches. Despite carrying a six-point deduction for disciplinary violations at the beginning of the league, St. Paul’s continue to demonstrate championship quality with another dominant clean sheet performance.
The defending champions have now won seven straight matches. Their current form suggests they remain the second-best team in the league, even if the points deduction has cost them mathematically.
In Saturday’s other match, Development Bank St. Peters FC and bottom-placed St. Kitts Concrete Masters Sandy Point fought to a 1-1 draw in a crucial relegation battle. The result does little to help Sandy Point’s desperate survival bid, as they remain rooted to the foot of the table with just six points from 13 matches.
