Basseterre, St. Kitts - The Cayon Football Academy (CFA) team affectionately called Youths registered another huge upset when they defeated Mantab 1-0 on Saturday. Mantab a SKNFA Premier Division team was trying to use the opportunity to blood some of their younger players and took the CFA for granted. Clyde Mitchum converted in the 18th minute albeit fortuitously as his intended cross swerved towards the goal and the goalkeeper made a huge error by knocking the ball in the net rather than tipping it over the bar.
Earlier Youths’ Livan Lee got a one- versus - one opportunity and missed allowed Mantab off the hook. By half time Coach Len Harris of the Mantab had seen enough danger and proceeded to try to rectify the situation. He made 4 instant changes and brought in his more senior players including former national player Deshawn Jarvis. The CFC team held out admirably and when Mantab was awarded a penalty they called upon their 6” 4’ goalkeeper in Kiran Micheal to keep them alive. Micheal was able to go low to his right to keep out Jarvis’ spot kick and later made a blinding save from close range shot to make a solid claim for man of the match.
As one would say in local parlance the 1-0 soaked and pushed Youths up the tables to 7 points from 5 games
