Paul-Andre Walker, Staff ReporterWATERHOUSE AND Portmore United continued on their winning ways in the Wray and Nephew National Premier League yesterday.
Portmore United, playing hosts to Invaders, won in fine style, dispelling the danger of their opponents' consolation goal with a handful of their own for a 5-1 win.
Kevin Deerr (30th and 70th) and Roen Nelson (39th and 44th) added braces to Anthony Modeste's earlier 18th minute goal to give the hosts their victory, while Invaders' only goal came from the boot of Roxroy Hardy.
At the Waterhouse Mini Stadium, a Roberto Fletcher brace in the 80th and 89th minutes handed Arlington their second 2-0 defeat in as many games.
After the Waterhouse game, losing coach Geoffrey Maxwell was surprisingly laid back about the defeat, although he did berate his team for not sticking to the plan.
"Apparently two or three players did not follow through with the instructions that were given to them. I said to Akeeno (Morgan) that he should take Lamey out of the game which he did to some extent. The only change that I saw that could hurt us was 'Haiti' (Fletcher). When he came on, the other centre-half was told to pick him up but I think Waterhouse played well," said Maxwell.
The man in charge of Waterhouse, Peter Cargill, was impressed with the game.
BEAUTIFUL GAME
"It was a beautiful game, especially the first 60 minutes. We just did not finish our play but I'm encouraged by the way my team continues to stick together," he said.
At Ferdie Neita Park in Portmore, winning coach Paul Young, who has had a good run since taking the reins from Lenworth Hyde, said it was business as usual.
"I told them that they had the game won from the first half. The instructions were to get one early and to keep their foot on the gas. In the second half the instructions were not to give up a goal and that was the only disappointment," said Young.
In the Under-21 matches, Portmore won 9-0 and Waterhouse won 3-1.
