vs English Harbour (2nd)
G: Bo Luke
D: Brentton Kirwan/Marc Jarvis//Rolston Benjamin
DM: Randolph Abraham
M: Ranjae Jahraldo-Martin/Victor Matthew/Jermaine George
S: Kelly Nesbitt/Bo Benjamin/Brentton Matthew

Kirwan and Abraham are both starting this game tired, but we have no choice thanks to injuries and suspensions. If we can somehow pull off the upset, we'll move to 2nd on goal differential.

59 - Kelly Matthew for Bo Benjamin; Willett for Nesbitt

84 - Brentton Matthew is being hassled by a defender, but he's able to sneak a short pass out to the right and up for George, and the cross hits Jahraldo-Martin for the score!!! 1-0

That was an ugly, ugly game, with Ranjae Jahraldo-Martin our highest at 7.2 and no PotM award for us. But now we're just 3 points behind Young Warriors and would have GD over them if we pulled off that upset.

We're also guaranteed to stay up with 5 games left, as our worst place we can finish is 7th! That's a huge accomplishment, considering there were a few going into the season who were doubtful we had what it took to remain in the top division.

Jermaine George breaks both his own team and the Premier Division record with 9 assists, 8 in the league. Very cool.

@ Hoppers (8th)
G: George Frederick
D: Terrence Lewis/Anderson Derrick/Janiel Santiago/Rolston Benjamin
M: Luke Simon/Victor Matthew/Elvis Williams
S: Kelly Nesbitt/Kelly Matthew/Bo Benjamin

We're having to give some guys rest today and there's still a couple outstanding injuries as we play this short turnaround. Victor Matthew and George Frederick aren't in the most energy-filled shape, but we have no choice in Matthew, and I'm leery of starting Bo Luke again that quickly.

7 - I wanted to give Brentton Matthew the day off, but that's over with as Kelly Matthew goes off with injury yet again.

46 - Lewis gets in the way of Derrick's attempted pass back to Frederick, but luckily Derrick is able to fetch the loose ball and play it long to Simon. Kick back to the middle and Victor Matthew for the rainbow long ball to Bo Benjamin in the box, and he spears it home!!!! 1-0

72 - Jarvis in for Santiago; George for Williams

83 - Heads up play by Lewis to already see where the corner clearance is going, and he gets it and taps to Bo Benjamin for the long, high cross to poorly defended George who sinks the insurance goal!!!! 2-0

90 - Rolston Benjamin throws in to Brentton Matthew and gets it back. He has all the space and time in the world to dribble, set, and crack a high ball to Simon in the box for the easy walk-in goal! 3-0

All full-time starters but the keeper had 7.0 or higher, including the star outings of 9.0 PotM by Victor Matthew, 8.4 by Bo Benjamin, 7.8 from Luke Simon, and a heroic 7.4 off the bench by Jermaine George.

English Harbour manages a poor 2-2 draw at home, and because Young Warriors didn't play today, we're temporarily in 1st place with 4 to play! (That won't last, however). We're also now locked in to a top 4 finish to beat projections.

Kelly Matthew is out 6-7 months

Young Warriors draw 1-1 away, which means just a single point separates us now.

vs Parham FC (5th)
G: George Frederick
D: Terrence Lewis/Anderson Derrick//Rolston Benjamin/Janiel Santiago
M: Ranjae Jahraldo-Martin/Randolph Abraham/Victor Matthew/Jermaine George
S: Brentton Matthew/Bo Benjamin

They run a 3-5-2, so we're going with a 4-4-2 in response.

57 - 5 straight fucking corners they get and then Brentton Matthew is whistled for a bullshit PK they convert. I immediately yank him and Abraham for Nesbitt and [b]Jarvis/b] respectively. 0-1

80 - This is a game where it's decided you're going to lose. Victor Matthew sent off with a double yellow.

This was a blown golden opportunity. Young Warriors suffered their first loss of the season, and English Harbour went down, too.

Even more bullshit, the refs denied a penalty we should have been awarded, so the fix was definitely in on this one.

I'm fined $210 by the FA. The board's upset, but FA, fuck you.

So let's see here. 2 week break. Terrence Lewis and Victor Matthew suspended for our next game. Janiel Santiago also a miss with a particularly virulent flu. Gayson Smith and Kelly Matthew obviously done for the season.Chelsey Willett is out a month with injury.

vs Wadadli (5th)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Anderson Derrick/Marc Jarvis/Rolston Benjamin
M: Ranjae Jahraldo-Martin/Randolph Abraham/Jermaine George
S: Kelly Nesbitt/Bo Benjamin/Brentton Matthew

3 - Shitlord start 0-1

43 - Matthew kicks back to George for the high pass to Bo Benjamin in the box. Header clunks off the top bar, but he's there to put away his own rebound 1-1

56 - FUCK YOU!!!! GEORGE WAS ONSIDES!!!!!

63 - Abraham intercepts and plays it left to Jahraldo-Martin. Play into the box connects with Nesbitt's sudden left veer, and the cross to Matthew has no fucking flag this time as he puts it away 2-1

74 - Kirwan goes in for Derrick; Williams for Abraham

Kelly Nesbitt's 7.6 PotM outing saves us on a rough day. Unfortunately, Young Warriors narrowly avoided a collapse and won, while English Harbour won easily.

2 games left. The top 3 teams are already set for the year - it's just a matter of who captures the championship amongst the 3 sides - Young Warriors, us, or English Harbour.
