Paradise & Rangers reach Waggy T Quarters

LIME Paradise and Petro Caribe Queens Park Rangers scored wins last Sunday to reach the Quarter-Finals of the Waggy T Super Knockout Football Tournament at the National Stadium. Paradise beat Combine Northerners 2-0 with both goals coming in the second period. Combine Northerners gave it all they got; but were outplayed in the second half by the superior GFA Premier Division outfit. Skipper Shane Renee scored the goal of the tournament so far- a superb free kick from 30 meters out, which rocketed into right side of the upright.

Alex Alexis secured the winner in the 70th, after he was set-up by Kurt Renee. Petro Caribe Queens Park Rangers meanwhile, thrashed Seasons Fashion FC 6-0, in totally commanding performance. The St David’s outfit was certainly no match for the more seasoned and accomplished Premier Division team, who delighted fans with a splendid display. They were spurred on by striker Joe Greenidge, who notched-up the first hat-trick of the tournament.  He scored in the 22nd, 39th and 51st minutes to, to give QPR the drive.
