An own goal in the second minute from Alex Ferguson gave Lilliput Rovers the lead while Kimario Murdock equalised for Boys Club in the 41st minute.

Jazeel Bernard restored Lilliput Rovers’ lead when he scored just before half time, in the 44 th minute.

Daveroy Bailey made the scores 3-1 when he scored in the 73rd minute, Nigel Dixon added a fourth in the 82nd minute before Roshane Williams scored from the penalty spot in the 88 th minute to complete the scoring.
