Glen Walker netted a pair of goals as Big Yard inflicted the first defeat on leaders Young Lions, 2-0, when matches in the second edition of the nine-team Five-A-Side Basketball Court Football League hosted by Bellisima Events continued at the L’Anse Mitan Recreation Ground, Carenage on Saturday night.
The win for Walker and Big Yard was their third from six matches to improve to nine points in the fourth spot, four behind Young Lions while Smith Hill FC is second with 12 followed by Scrape Up, who edged Dark FC 1-0 thanks to a strike from Runako Harris in Saturday’s opening match.
On Friday, Point Cumana picked up their first win in seven matches, 4-1 over Samba FC, with Michael John and Raygon Seechan both scoring two goals each to cancel out Tyrell Alexis’ effort.
In Friday’s other match, Kareem Hutson scored the lone goal to earn Crazy Monkey’s a 1-0 win over cellar-placed Scorpion FC.
The winner of the league will collect $5,000 while the runner-up will get $3,000 and the third-placed finisher $1,000. Matches continue today, Friday and Saturday from 8 pm.
