We cut a number of prospects who we felt would never be anything, and
Nicholas Samuel left on a free transfer to
Guaya United to try and help them dig out of the relegation hole they're in (currently 14th).

vs Stokley Vale (5th)
G: Kevin Mussio
D: Devon Young/Kirt Lewis/Hayden Vincent/Marvin Thomas
MC: Everald Coker/Kowyn Samuel
AM: Damian Pino/Kyle Morgan/Kevin Jamerson
S: Darren DeFreitas
9 -
Jamerson takes the cross after
Pino's incredible interception. He centers to
Morgan but the shot's pushed away.
Jamerson beats two defenders to the ball and crosses, where
DeFreitas, who started at 82% and was a gamble to start, puts it away!
1-0
16 - We just can't stop
Tyrone Manning no matter what we do. We're going in hard on him and the bastard still scores
1-1
29 -
Thomas runs down a long ball and sends it back to
Mussio for the booming kick all the way down the right side of the pitch and
Jamerson. Box delivery to
DeFreitas and a second score!
2-1
38 -
Jamerson outlets back to
Thomas, then runs ahead for the return longball at the touchline. Cross, and
Pino punches it in with his head!!!
3-1
40 -
Manning blocks
Vincent's pass and pounces on the loose ball. He's got a clear 1v1 and somehow shanks the shot!
85 - After
Pino blows an easy cross, he's pulled for
Wilson.
Cummings replaces tired
Coker, and there's an MC switch.
9.0 and PotM for
Kevin Jamerson, 8.3 for
Kowyn Samuel, 7.6 for
Damian Pino, and 8.8 for
Darren DeFreitas in our best game of the year.
10 games left in the season and we're sitting 11 points above the drop with a game in hand. 30 points is traditionally the safe zone and we're at 26.
@ Prison (TRI) (2nd)
G: Kevin Mussio
D: Devon Young/Kirt Lewis/Hayden Vincent/Marvin Thomas
MC: Everald Coker/Kowyn Samuel
AM: Damian Pino/Kyle Morgan/Kevin Jamerson
S: Darren DeFreitas
39 -
Lewis clears out a corner and
Pino picks it up on the right side for a firecracker shot down to
DeFreitas. Our striker holds up play until he can lay off left to
Jamerson, then tap the first touch on the return pass into the box. The ball rolls ahead to two of our guys unmolested, and
Morgan slams in the go-ahead!
1-0
67 -
Jamerson moves over to AMC to replace tired
Morgan,
Cummings in at attacking MC because
Samuel is also tired, and
Williams jogs on at AMR
72 - Ugh
1-1
A game we should have been able to win considering how we played, but we'll take the draw. It's another point to put us 12 up on the drop with 9 to go and one in hand. We're pretty safe right now, and we've gone 2-0-1 in our first three games since we brought in our new talent - even if
Dwayne Alzola is currently shelved and
Colin Williams is presently battling
Kevin Jamerson for the starting AMR spot.
