LA CLERY, Saint Lucia; Thursday March
20, 2008 – A 77th minute strike by
Larry “Chucky” Stevens
put Radicals ahead, after Le Sport looked set to pull off a
draw against one of
the more fancied teams in this year’s Castries-north District
Representative
Football Competition.
Having tormented the Le Sport defense for much of the game with his speed and
dribbling skills, Stevens finally got behind the defense to find the back of the
nets, minutes after he made a hash of a beautifully pass from JnPaul into the
area.
Le Sport made some changes but when Ricky JnPaul latched onto a near perfect
pass on top of the area, he drove it beautifully, low into the far corner of the
nets in the 80th minute to give Radicals a 2-nil lead.
The scoreline remained the same when the final whistle went; Radicals went
away with a 2-nil victory, a result that did not seem likely at the end of the first
half.
Le Sport enjoyed the upper hand in the first half, missing numerous scoring
opportunities as Radicals lost sight of their game plan.
Le Sport was hoping on a point from a drawn game until their defense wilted
under the continued pressure, and the two goals within minutes of each other,
cancelled out their dreams.
