Cayon’s Coach George “Yellowman” Isaac was satisfied with his team’s performance playing to the stalemate.
“The game was a positive game. It was a good game in the first half. We had both teams going on the attack and on the defense, but I tried to allow my guys to press a little more going forward and try to keep the ball in the attacking third.”
Conaree’s assistant coach, DeWayne Delaney believes that the game was a evenly matched.
“Basically, it was a keenly contested match. Both teams want the ‘W’ but unfortunately, we have to share the spoils. We were a bit apprehensive in the first half in terms of allowing the play to come to us instead of being proactive and moving forward. We did a little better job in the second half but that is something we have to work on in terms of moving forward in the competition.”
A win this evening will place the Village Superstars into next weeks finals, while another defeat for St. Paul’s will seem them being eliminated with one game left in the round robin phase.
