ARNETT Gardens FC waltzed into the quarter-final of the Flow Champions Cup KO competition after a comfortable 4-0 spanking of Humble Lion FC at the Anthony Spaulding Complex yesterday.

The 20-year-old midfielder Vishinul Harris scored in the third and 27th minutes, while burly striker Newton Sterling (15th) and substitute Carlos Barrett (69th) added the other goals.

In another game, Waterhouse were imperious when they decimated St Thomas’ Port Morant United 7-1, with new signee Romario Campbell hitting a hat-trick at Drewsland.

For the opener at the Anthony Spaulding Complex, Sterling nodded on a free kick taken by Arnett Gardens’ goalkeeper Damion Hyatt to the pacy Kemal Malcolm whose shot was blocked by the advancing Humble Lion custodian Damion Crooks. But the rebound fell to Harris and he swivelled and kicked home from six yards.

Humble Lion created a few attacks of their own as they began to settle, but they could not find the right pass in the final third. Arnett scored a second when Harris combined with Kirk Ramsey, who turned cheekily to outfox his marker and though he fluffed his shot, Sterling was on hand to poke past the Lion ‘keeper.

It was 0-3 against the visitors after Lion’s captain Wolry Wolfe was dispossessed by Harris, and the youngster, a former Manning Cup star with Charlie Smith High, toyed with bemused defender Ricardo Campbell before slotting home from 10 yards.

Humble Lion head coach Geoffrey Maxwell then made two substitutions — including the withdrawal of Wolfe — within seconds of his team conceding the third goal.

The Clarendonians started positively in the second half and mounted several attacks, but the Arnett defence was equal to the crosses and through pass attempts that came their way.

The home team got the easiest chance of the second period on the hour mark when substitute Fabian Reid and Harris combined to put Sterling in on goal, but the latter scooped his left-footed effort way over bar from 12 yards out.

Barrett made it 4-0 for Arnett following a sublime cross-field volleyed pass from Oneil Thompson that set free Ramsey down the right side. The fleetfooted striker passed to Barrett, who cut inside his marker before firing a leftfooted grounder beyond the diving Crooks, to complete the scoring.
