W Connection took full points for the first time in its Lucozade Big Six campaign, with a well- deserved 5-0 win over Caledonia AIA/Fire yesterday.
Playing the first match of a double-header at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar Connection went into the lead late in the first-half when captain Earl Jean struck in the 37th minute.
Seventeen minutes after the restart, Iyiaka Stanley put Connection further ahead 2-0, and Nickcolson Thomas got his in the 59th to put the result pretty much beyond doubt.
But the “Savonetta Boys” were not done with the scoring against hapless opposition. Stanley again popped up around the AIA/Fire area to add his , and Andre Toussaint put himself among the scorers with a 89th minute strike.
The win took Connection to just three points from three matches, but is a good sign that the team is still staking a claim to the title despite being three points behind leaders National Quarries North East Stars.
Results:
W Connection 5 (Earl Jean 37th, Iyiaka Stanley 57th, 67th, Nickcolson Thomas 59th, Andre Toussaint 89th) vs Caledonia AIA/Fire 0.
