Manager of St. Paul’s Austin Lewis, said even though they won, they are capable of playing better. “I think we can do better; I think we displayed poor football today,” Lewis said.
Assistant Coach to Sandy Point Kenneth Douglas commended his players, despite the result. Nevertheless, he believes the team has been making mistakes, which lead to defeat. “I think that we are beating ourselves; so, we have to go back to the drawing board on the pitch and commit to certain decisions,” Douglas said.
At the end of match week 3, Flow 4G Cayon Rockets, remain at the top of the table with nine points from three matches. MFCR Old Road United Jets in second place, is the only team yet to concede a goal.
