Legs tangle as CIBC and Caledonian fight for control.
After just four weeks of play, the Digicel Indoor Five-A-Side League is already starting to develop some clear leaders. CUC Sparks are unbeaten at the head of Division One while in Division Two Ernst & Young United boast not only the top place in the league but the two top goal scorers. In addition, the results for the week produced a total of no less than 57 goals, a huge increase over week three's total of 46.
This week's action commenced with the Monday games. Division Two teams CIBC and Caledonian opened the evening in spectacular fashion. After CIBC stormed into an early lead, Caledonian started a determined comeback, including one of the most athletic goals seen on the court. At the final buzzer their efforts were just not enough with CIBC holding on to their lead for an 8-6 win. Michael Halsey got four of the CIBC goals, Ian Barnes kicked another two, backed up by singles from Roderick Parchment and Andrew Needham. Robert Moore got a hat trick for Caledonian with a goal each coming from Kevin McLaughlin, Tariq Hanni and Deono Scott.
In the second game PWC took a crack at CUC Sparks' unbeaten Division One record. Sparks responded in typical style, Staten Clarke putting in a hat trick with M Conolly and Sean Mellaneo adding one each for a 5-2 win. PWC's fightback produced goals from James Green and Matt Clingerman.
Returning to Division Two, Dunder Mifflin PC closed the night playing Fortis La Carona. Both teams proved to be evenly matched with Dunder Mifflin just getting the advantage, two goals from Kevin Moore and another from Renato Harris producing a 3-2 win. Scorers for Fortis were Paul Neary and David Griffin.
Wednesday night kicked off with CML Claymores taking on CD & P. The Claymores bounced back from their defeat the previous week at the hands of the Sparks, taking an 8-2 win over CD & P. Chris Ebanks and Gavin Dixon scored for CD & P, Claymores' tally included two each from James Corner and Daniel Cummings with the balance made up by Ben Marler, Christian O'Malley-Sutton, Donald Hicks and Kris Beighton.
Continuing the Division One action, Camana Bay FC again saw their hopes of a first win destroyed by KPMG who pushed through a 10-3 victory. Hat tricks came from KPMG's Captain Robert Holmes and Giles Kerley, two more goals went in from Tim Tovell with Santi Campo and Noel Samu getting one each. Camana Bay's total came from Jared Awe, Julian Naraisse and Jermaine Seymour.
The final game of the week matched the Cambridge All-Stars with the Phoenix Firebirds. The Firebirds came in fresh from their first victory in the previous week but the All-Stars proved too strong, taking the win 5-3 with goals from Johnny Bodden, Sergio Contreras and George Evans Jr, plus two from Thomas Bush. In reply Gary McIntosh, Craig Hutchinson and Ockieve Sudderland scored for the Firebirds.
