Sandy Bay close in Major League final
LUCEA, Hanover — Former champions Sandy Bay FC could be the first qualifier for the final of the Hanover Football Association Charley’s JB Rum/Captain’s Bakery and Grill Major League today if they can avoid a big loss to Johnson Town in their return-leg semi-finals at Watson Taylor Park, set to start at 3:00 pm.
Sandy Bay FC lead 3-0 after winning Saturday’s first leg, also played at Watson Taylor Park.
Meanwhile, the other semi-final tie is in the balance after mid-season champions Super Star YC and Grand Palladium ended 1-1 at Watson Taylor Park on Sunday.
Linval Galloway had given Super Star the lead in the 52nd minute only for Renaldo Jewhill to level the scores in the 79th minute going into the return-leg on Wednesday.
On Saturday, Hugh Parker scored his first two goals of the season to stake his team to a 2-0 lead after just 15 minutes.
Parker scored in the fourth and 15th minutes, while an own goal in the 64th minute from Bradwayne Whitmore made it 3-0.
