Waterhouse, Arnett stay unbeaten in Women’s League
Mid-season champions Waterhouse FC and runners-up Arnett Gardens extended their unbeaten run in second-round action of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF)/ Lascelles Employees and Partners Co-operative Credit Union Women’s League on Wednesday.
Waterhouse, the 2016 beaten finalists, followed up their mid-season triumph with a 6-0 beating of Rangers FC at the St Mary Sports Complex, as they moved to maximum 15 points from five games.
Shantel Bailey led the way for the Xavier Gilbert-coached team with a four-timer in the sixth, 45th, 54th and 71st minutes, with Davia Richards (23rd) and young Rochelle Grey (57th) getting the others.
Rangers, condemned to a fourth defeat in five outings, remain at the foot of Zone A standing on one point.
Cavalier SC, on the back of a brace from former national player Shahaine Nelson (40th and 47th), and one from Suen Gregory (70th), blanked St Ann Women’s 3-0 in the other Zone A fixture at Alpha Institute.
The win saw Cavalier consolidating second position on 10 points, three ahead of St Ann Women’s in third on seven points.
Frazsiers Whip, who were idle this week, are fourth on three points.
The 2014 losing finalists Arnett Gardens were also rampant in extending their lead atop Zone B as they got by Real Mobay FC 6-0 in a lopsided affair at Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex.
Deschannel Palmer (seventh), Shenika Williams (ninth), Shanise Foster (53rd), Chris-Ann Gordon (84th), Kadian Edwards (90th) and a 21st minute own goal saw the ‘Junglists’ to the comfortable victory.
With the win, Arnett Gardens moved to 15 points, while Real Mobay FC remain at the foot of the standing on one point.
In the other Zone B fixture, goals from Tramaine Brown (39th and 58th) and Natasha Dudley (24th) propelled St Catherine-based SC Monarchs to a 3-0 win over Trelawny Women’s at Royal Lakes Playfield.
SC Monarchs are now in second position on seven points, with Trelawny Women’s occupying fourth position on five points. Olympic Gardens are third on five points with a better goal difference.
The competition will break until September 2, to accommodate the final round of the Concacaf Caribbean Women’s Qualifiers scheduled to begin tomorrow inside the National Stadium.
