A second-half brace from Denroy Dennis gave home team St. Georges Sports Club of Portland a 3-0 victory over Boys' Town in the Cash Plus Premier League match at Lynch Park yesterday.
Earlier, Omar Henderson, who was substituted late in the second half due to injury, had given St. Georges the lead in the 14th minute.
St. Georges enjoyed the better run of play during the first half and created numerous chances. Had captain Damion 'Boy Boy' Harwood converted the two scoring opportunities which came his way, the scoreline could have been far different.
The second half saw St. Georges picking up their game and they scored again when Dennis, after receiving a through pass, fired from close range and beat the goalkeeper as St. Georges went up 2-0 in the 49th minute. The second goal virtually took the sting out of the Red Brigades and the third goal came in the 84th minute when a corner kick from off the left flank found the un-marked Dennis, who nodded home for a 3-0 victory.
St. Georges coach, Donovan Duckie, praised his team.
"We lifted our game today which ensured us victory. We still have our eyes set on qualifying for the end-of-round final it is a tall order. But should the two top teams suffer any setbacks, our slim chance could expand."
Price, noting his team had lost all hope of making the end-of-round final, said: "We now have to focus on the bigger picture ahead, which is to win the Premier League."
