Teammate, Cameal Hourani also found the back of the net, scoring as early as the 10th minute of play.
Tryum’s Ricardo Dennis scored both goals for the losing team in the 65th and 72nd minutes.

Twenty-four hours prior, newly promoted team Blue Jays FC stunned Willikies FC, beating them 2-0 while former Antigua Premier League Champions, Cool and Smooth ACT Empire FC, trounced Potters Tigers winning 3-1.
Two penalty kicks from Okeski Leadette (31st) and Keon Greene (87th) gave Blue Jays a full three points to move them onto six points in the 5th position and dropping Willikies to 4th with seven points.
Empire, on the other hand, saw goals from Nyke Watkins, Kamali Looby and Jazward Vigilante. They are now in the middle of the table in the 6th seed with six points, while Potters continue to struggle as they sit at the bottom of the table still without a point.
