Sea View Farm FC stretched their lead at the top of the standings in the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) Second Division with a comfortable two-nil (2-0) triumph over CPTSA Wings on Tuesday.
Playing at the Johnson’s Sports Complex, Farm had goals on either sides of the half, going ahead on minute 40 via a Rhezal Gomes conversion. The visitors doubled their lead just five minutes after the interval when Dequan Reid netted from close range in the 50th.
The win carries Farm to 34 points from 13 matches, six points ahead of second placed Blue Jays who have 28. Blue Jays have however, only played 11 matches. CPTSA Wings remain on 14 points after 11 matches and ninth on the 17-team standings.
There was victory as well for Golden Grove who beat Guydadli FC 2-1. Golden Grove had goals from Stephen Hughes in the 10th minute and Arnel Emmanuel Walsh in minute 76 to record their ninth win in 12 matches and move to 27 points.
Guydadli had their lone strike from Michael Peters who struck in minute 32 as they remain on 18 points from 11 showings.
Meanwhile, Young Lions played from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw with former Premier Division champions English Harbour when they clashed in Old Road.
Former national player, Akeem Weekes, gave English Harbour the advantage in the 13th minute before Delroy Simpson doubled their lead six minutes later in the 19th. The home side was, however, not done and a second half double from Zavier Joseph helped them salvage a point from the contest. Joseph struck in minutes 57 and 63.
English Harbour inches to 29 points from 12 matches while Lions move to 18 from 11 showings.
