Grenadian international forward Denron Frederick was on fire with a first half hat-trick, which spurred Cunupia FC to a 7-0 demolition of Harlem Strikers and an almost unassailable lead in the Central Football Association (CFA) CRIL Premier League standings, last Friday.
Frederick, a former Caledonia AIA forward, scored in the 14th, 28th and 43rd minutes, before Jamal Spencer, Marcus Ellis, Stevon Stoute and Michael Darko completed the rout with one goal each in the second half.
Two days after, Edinburgh 500 went second in the standings with a much-needed (2-1) win over Perseverance United. Stephen Julien and Brent Alexander scored in either half for Edinburgh, while Akil London scored in between for Perseverance.
With 11 matches played from of 16, one less than Cunupia FC, Edinburgh went within nine points of the league leader.
Today, Cunupia will be seeking to maintain its hefty advantage when it meets Perseverance United at 8.30 pm in the second match of a rescheduled double-header at the Hugo Francis Recreation Ground.
The opening match will see Enterprise Life Sport FC facing Xtrafoods Chaguanas, from 6.30 pm.
