By LeVaughn Flynn, Staff ReporterBULL BAY bullied last-placed Olympic Gardens in KSAFA/JNBS Super League action at Cling Cling Oval yesterday, thrashing them 5-2 to jump to second position with 19 points.
Maverley/Hughenden top all teams with 23 points while cellar-dwellers Olympic Gardens remain on five.
Boys' Town (18) defeated Mountain View United (12) 2-0 at Mountain View Oval. Fitzroy Anglin and goalkeeper Kirk Porter, from a penalty, were the heroes for the boys from Collie Smith Drive.
In Major League action, Whitfield and Pembroke Hall played to a 1-1 draw at Pembroke Hall High School.
Olympic Gardens did not use their size advantage over a much smaller Bull Bay team, who hosted a small gathering at Cling Cling Oval. What Bull Bay did do, however, was use their speed to outclass the one-time National Premier League contenders.
Three minutes into the game, Bull Bay's Dwayne Williams scored giving his team the advantage but Olympic Gardens' Syian Wignal replied in the 13th minute for the equaliser.
Bull Bay's Ondino Griffiths (18th) and Andre Mines (48th) increased their team's tally looking to break away from the home team. Olympic Gardens substitute Winston Ellis gave his team hope in the 69th minute after scoring his team's second goal. A spate of attacks on goal followed Ellis's and just as it looked as if Olympic would equalise, Dellon Wilson (86th) and Nicholas Dodd (90th) placed that thought out of their reach.
Bull Bay's coach, Barrington Gaynor, said he was upbeat about playing Maverley/Hughenden in the mid-season final and said that it would only take "Santos to score four goals against Duhaney Park on Saturday for us to not make it to the finals".
Speaking on yesterday's game, Gaynor said: "(They) didn't play a great game but created a lot of chances, but scoring five goals is a lot of goals."
Olympic Gardens' player-coach, Andrew Hall, said discipline was a problem plaguing his team as well as mental lapses.
"Concentration is a big problem," he said. "Each time we built up and came forward and held Bull Bay we just lapsed around the back. We weren't ready and I guess because we're not training so were not alert," he said.
