FORMER champions, Boys' Town, came from behind to drub Real Mona 5-1 in their first-leg Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) Major League semifinal at Duhaney Park yesterday.
A double strike from skipper, Fitzroy Anglin, plus one each from Marvin Morgon, Dean Thompson and Troy Dawes carried the Red Brigade to their resounding win, after Kimand Tomlinson had given Mona the lead.
Winning coach, Andrew Pryce, said he thought it was a good game "but wasn't happy with how we played in the first half".
"We played more purposeful in the second half. We wanted to play and wanted to score goals," he stated.
His counterpart, Patrick Walters, said his team didn't have a good match: "The team just played badly, the defence especially. We gave up some easy goals and you can't allow a team like Boys' Town to get chances like that," he said.
Walters knows he has a difficult task for the second-leg but adds, "We're hoping for a good performance in the next game."
The game was just 14 minutes old when Tomlinson beat goalkeeper, Winston Lowe, with a header from six yards.
But Boys' Town pulled one back just four minutes later through Morgon who converted from the spot, after Thompson was brought down inside the box by Otis Pinnock.
Darren Venton produced Mona's best chance of the half but Lowe went full-stretch to parry his curling 25-yard free-kick around the post.
Thompson made it 3-1 13 minutes after the break, by tapping home from six yards when the Mona defenders failed to clear during a melee.
Dawes hammered a superb half-volley past Roderick Jones to make the score 4-1, and in time added, Anglin got by three defenders and slammed powerfully past Jones from an acute angle.
