RC Panthers and Caledonian compete for the ball.



The Women's Five-a-Side Indoor Football League, sponsored by Digicel and Hard Rock, entered its second week on Friday 23 June with the teams still looking to establish a pecking order in the league.

Ritz Carlton Panthers were eager to claim their second match running when they took on Caledonian in a Division 2 encounter on Friday evening at King's Sports Centre. While Panthers were determined to remain unbeaten in the league, Caledonian were just as determined to claim their first win.

The competition between the two teams was very tight, with neither team really able to dominate proceedings. Trish Fleming was first to score, and put Panthers up 1-0. Despite a number of good attempts by Caledonian, they could not break through the Panthers' defence, and were forced to concede a 1-0 defeat.

In the second match of the evening, Kickers also managed to maintain their unbeaten record in the Division 2 as they claimed a solid 3-1 win over Budget. Kickers Captain, Lydia Watling, scored a double to lead from the front, with Cindy Downing also adding a goal to Kickers' total. The solitary goal for Budget came from Susan Thompson.

On Sunday 25 June, it was over to Division 1, as Scott's Marine and Butterfield Bank clashed in the first game of the evening.

In spite of some great work, Butterfield could not match the recent success of their men's team in the league, as they went down 2-1 in a closely contested match.

Kamilla Nagy and Susan Eden led the way for Scott's Marine, scoring a goal apiece. Only Meisha Gordon could summon a reply for Butterfield, but it was not enough to turn their fortunes in the league, as Scott's Marine remained unbeaten.

The second match of the evening featured another as yet unbeaten team, Blue Devils, up against KPMG. Blue Devils managed to convert more of their opportunities as they grabbed a 3-1 victory.

Denise Duncan was the leading scorer for Blue Devils with a double to her credit, while Sophia Johnston added a goal of her own.
Only Yessenia Prado could score for KPMG, leaving them still searching for their first win in the league.

Blue Devils lead Division 1 from Scott's Marine by virtue of a superior goal difference.
Kickers lead Division 2 from RC Panthers as Kickers have more goals to their credit so far this season.
