Green rounded out his hat trick early in the second half, having already opened the scoring for ESHS in the 2nd minute and doubled the lead in the 13th. Guillaume Parkins pulled one back for St Georges in the 26th minute, but moments later Kevaughn Watson restored the two goal advantage for ESHS to send the teams into the break at 3-1.

After Green scored his third, Shamoy Thompson added a fifth for ESHS in the 51st minute, before some late drama ensued with St Georges converting two penalties. First Colin McDonald thumped home and then Braden Chalwell sent the keeper the wrong way, but it proved too little too late for the boys in Green as the game ended 5-3.

Of the games in the BDO Primary School League, the highlight of week one was undoubtedly back to back hat tricks by Jaden Quashie, who netted three times in Robinson O’Neal’s 5-0 victory over St Georges in the U7 Division and then repeated the dose in his side’s 4-0 win over Claudia Creque.
