One Love was two up and cruising at half time with seemingly no way back into the game for the Suga Boys, but whatever coach Jeffrey Demming said at half time worked to perfection as they clawed their way back into the game and it was One Love who was left waiting anxiously for the final whistle.

One Love was two ahead inside 32 minutes when first Colin Green powered his way past Megraw Baptiste on 19 minutes. He then used his speed to beat the advancing Demming in goal to coolly lob the ball into the empty net.

A free kick taken from the right flank then caused all sorts of confusion amongst the Suga Boys defense and Richard Morgan rose highest to head home the second. Demming should have come to claim the ball, but he hesitated, just long enough, to end up being caught in no man’s land.

One Love was full of pace, drive and desire and it seemed that the game was all but over.

In the second half though, everything turned around when almost out of nowhere Pipe scored his wonder goal from wide out on the left and fully 35 yards from goal.

His curling shot sailed over the floundering Otis Chin in goal and nestled perfectly into the top right corner to breathe life back into the game.

Many in the crowd claimed it was a miss hit cross, but Pipe himself had no hesitation in saying he meant to shoot. “I went for goal, the wind helped, but I meant it. It was very vital for us to get that goal.”

One Love probably not believing their eyes, protested the ball had gone over the cross bar and then into the goal through a hole in the net, but neither linesman nor referee agreed and the goal stood.

Suddenly, it was all one way traffic as the Suga Boys laid siege to the One Love goal.

On 75 minutes, Michael Captello scored the equalizer with a powerful header that gave Chin no chance. The ball was floated in perfectly by Terrance Baptiste and met equally as well by the brave Captello.

Captello went close to scoring the winner with another header from a Baptiste corner; Derrol Redhead had a couple of long range shots. Jeuinick Mingo also went close in the dying seconds, but a draw was a fair result and gives both sides their first points of what will be a long season.
