Premier League stars spur Petrojam to Scotiabank KO title
TWO second-half goals from Jaron Richards and Leon Strickland carried Petrojam to a 2-0 win over Caribbean Cement Company and their fourth consecutive hold on the Scotiabank Kingston and St Andrew Business House Football Knockout title at the Alpha Boys play field on Wednesday.
Richards scored in the 56th minute, while Strickland closed out in the 75th.
Petrojam were winning the trophy for the fourth time in succession, but fifth overall, with the first coming in 2008.
In Wednesday’s game, the Lenny Hyde-coached Petrojam made life difficult for their opponents with their star-studded line-up of several Premier League players.
Striker Strickland and defender Richards are both first-choice players for Red Stripe Premier League champions Arnett Gardens.
Also in the line-up for Petrojam was Waterhouse FC’s attacking midfielder, Omar Walcott. Cement Company also had their array of stars with Ranique Muir, Alanzo Adlam and Shamar Campbell from Harbour View and Arnett Gardens midfielder Jerry Walters.
