BAHAMAS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION REGULAR SEASON HEATS UP

THE Bahamas Football Association continued its regular season action this week at the Roscoe Davies Developmental Center.

The following results were posted:

Dynamos Fc U 18 VS United Fc U 18 (1) v(1): Friday under the lights, Dynamos FC under-18 boys played to a 1-1 draw with United in a highly anticipated match the last time these two teams met up there were fireworks. This time cool heads prevailed.

Dynamos WFC (3) VS Baha Jr WFC (0): Saturday night after the Bahamas COE team defeated the Turks and Caicos 2-0, Dynamos WFC took on Baha Jr WFC in a match which was postponed earlier this year.

The Dynamos rode a brace from Ashya Butler and got and insurance goal from Alexis Williamson to close out the entertaining match.

Sunday Matches: Dynamos FC (2) V Seventeen 17 (1): Whenever these two teams get together it is a dogfight, and this was no exception.

Going down a goal late in the match, the Dynamos got the equaliser from Brandon Adderley and the winning goals from Chad Russell to defeat Seventeen 2-1.

IM Bears (3) v Renegades FC (2): The Renegades have turned the corner and are finally putting out a quality product on the pitch. Sunday they ran into a Bears team who where coming out of hibernation.

The Bears got two goals from Stanley Joseph to put the game away. Jacob Charles kept up his scoring assault on the table with a brace for the Renegades. With the season rapidly coming to a close, one can expect tough matches ahead.

Five points separate the top four squads and this makes every game a do or die match.

Key matches this week: box and the team awarded a penalty kick in the 63rd minute.

Baha Jr VS Cavalier FC Battle of the cellar dwellers. Three points separate these two clubs and so the battle should be fierce to not be the last-place team.

Barnes stepped up for the penalty and connected again on a right-foot pushkick in the right side of the goal to put The Mingoes up 2-1.

The Mingoes were not done. Off a free kick in the 65th minute, Jean Tilo fired the ball deep in the Future

Stars box where winger Morgan Wood controlled the ball just outside of the goal box.

Barnes took the Wood pass off his chest and fired the ball across the goal for his third goal of the day.

Barnes scored his first hat-trick of the season but was more concerned about the win than his personal success.

“I am just here for the team,” he said. “ I am here to give it all for the team. My heart and dedication is for the team so I am just happy for the victory.”

He added that the team’s game plan was simple.

“We wanted to stick to the middle and keep the ball passing and whatever chances we got we wanted to put it away and that was exactly what happened here today,” he said.

“I must commend the boys today. They played very hard as we stuck to the game plan and we picked up the win. I am happy for the victory.”

The Mingoes next play United FC at 9pm on Wednesday March 15 at The Roscow A.L. Davies Field.

Western Warriors FC VS United FC United needs this win to create a three-way tie atop the table, while the Warriors need to create separation at the top. They have games in hand but creating a cushion would be nice.

Johnny Tinus and Stanley Pierre lead the United attack. Expect a hardfought match.
