Monedderlust, Cougars, Conquerors win in East Coast Mash Football
Monedderlust, Cougars, and Fruta Conquerors recorded contrasting victories when the East Coast Mash Cup continued on Saturday evening at the No. 5 ground, West Coast Berbice.
Monedderlust dismantled Hopetown 3-0. A first-half hattrick from Kevin Layne Jr. settled the outcome. Layne etched his name on the scorer’s sheet in the 20th, 23rd, and 28th minutes.
Similarly, the Cougars tamed the Western Lions 2-0. Alistair Drakes opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a header into the back of the net from inside the penalty area. The result was then sealed in the 46th minute, as Lomar Reid found the back of the net, slotting past the goalkeeper from inside the 18-yard area following a one-on-one situation.
Meanwhile, the Fruta Conquerors squeaked past the Paradise Invaders 1-0. Dwayne Jones registered the only conversion of the evening, racing onto a through pass before finishing past the onrushing goalkeeper during a one-on-one situation inside the penalty box.
The event, which is pencilled to conclude on February 17th, will continue on Friday at the Golden Grove Ground with the quarterfinal segment.
