SAVANNAH SC’s captain Adrian Robinson hit a late double to lift the struggling Westmoreland-based team to a stunning come-from-behind 2-2 result with first End-of-Round winners Boys’ Town FC in yesterday’s scrappy Red Stripe Premier League match at Collie Smith Drive.

The tall-built Robinson calmly struck from the penalty spot in the 81st minute and followed up with a well-taken header a minute before the end of normal time to give Savannah their first point in the second round.

The draw also broke a 13-match losing streak for the newly-promoted outfit, which remains at the base of the overall points standing with 12 points.

While Savannah’s players celebrated as if they had won the match, interim coach Everton Tomlinson told the Jamaica Observer that there is deep relief in the camp.

“There is a big relief for players and the staff that we ended the bad run. We came here and accomplished what we wanted, so the players are happy.

“We created a number of chances and though we conceded we still had the right attitude — we wanted to score and we kept shooting. We played well and showed the chemistry I’ve been looking for,” Tomlinson said proudly.

Earlier, Boys’ Town’s skipper Michael Campbell failed to convert a penalty kick midway the first half, but defender Wayne Ellis put the home team ahead five minutes into the second.

The lead was extended when leading scorer Rafiek Thomas sneaked on the near post to turn home Campbell’s corner in the 71st minute.

Boys’ Town, who have lost five of their previous 10 matches, languish close to last position in the second round with a meagre nine points. They, however, lie mid-table in the overall standing with 31 points.

After taking the 2-0 lead, the hosts appeared to lose concentration and missed several chances to safely put away the game, while also loosely giving up possession to the battling Savannah team.

Boys’ Town’s coach Andrew Price asserted that his team was woefully lacking at both ends of the pitch.

“I think we had issues in not taking the chances and also with giving up those two goals. We missed that penalty and several other chances in the first half and we missed others in the second half. Even then, leading two-nil and having some senior players on the pitch we allowed in two soft goals. This was a game we should have easily won,” he said, while lamenting that the poor run in the second round is down to a mixture of injury problems and arrogance on the part of his players.
