The Parham Super League resumed on Wednesday, 14th August with a double-header featuring an All Premier League cast. Newly promoted Attacking Saints faced up against Pigotts Bullets in the first encounter of the evening. The Saints weren’t their usual selves with key cast members unavailable due to injuries.
The mounting pressure from Bullets would pay off in the second half when an attacker was brought down in the penalty area, handing the men from Pigotts a live line. Forward Akeem Isaac converted his effort from the spot to secure the narrow win for his team. The win lifts them to four points after two matches and in second position in the six-team group.
In the feature match, Garden Stars came from behind to defeat a rebuilding Parham FC 4-2. Parham would take the lead early on after the referee blew for a foul on Montana within the Garden Stars penalty area. Despite diving the right way, the well-placed spot kick from Ramone Montana evaded the outstretched Curtnie Roberts in goal. Montana’s strike struck the post before entering the back of the net.
Defender Gerique George found himself in unfamiliar territory when a corner wasn’t dealt with efficiently by Parham, George found himself at the top of the box, unmarked, and being urged to shoot by teammates, saw his left-footed strike fly into the roof of the net and mounted the start of the comeback for the Stars.
Winger Sidique Adams would cut in off the right side, shooting low and hard to give the men from Garden the lead 2-1. Substitute Courtney Clarke would extend the lead from the penalty spot after Karique Knight was brought down in the area. Knight would further put the icing on the cake when he added his name to the score sheet after a through pass from skipper Jahred Williams would send him on his way. Denie Henry would pull one back for Parham closer towards the end but the damage was already down. Garden Stars now lead their group only on goal difference, sharing the same number of points with Pigotts (4).
