Swan FC’s goal scorers
Herstelling Raiders 8 – 0 Kuru Kuru FC
The opening match kicked off at 11:00 AM under overcast skies, with dark rain clouds threatening overhead. But even the weather couldn’t overshadow the brilliance of Herstelling Raiders, who launched a high-pressing, dominant performance against Kuru Kuru FC from the Linden-Soesdyke Highway.
It took just two minutes for the floodgates to open. Speedy right winger Samuel Gaspar ignited the Raiders’ onslaught with a thundering right-footed strike that pierced the lower left corner of the net, setting the tone for what would become a one-sided affair. Just 17 minutes later, Raiders’ talisman and current tournament top scorer Wayshawn Forde curled in a stunning left-footed shot from distance to double the lead in the 19th minute.
By the 30th minute, Ralph Reid joined the party, unleashing a rocket into the roof of the net that left the Kuru Kuru keeper stunned. Forde found his second of the day in the 38th, slotting home with composure inside the box.
The second half saw no let-up. Gaspar returned with his second goal in the 44th minute before midfield general Clifton Sampson cut through the defense on a dazzling solo run to add a sixth in the 46th. Just two minutes later, Forde completed his hat trick – his third consecutive hat trick in as many weekends—confirming his lethal form since the league restart.
Sampson closed the scoring in the 50th minute with a smooth finish from the top of the box, bringing the final score to 8-0 in favor of Herstelling Raiders—a commanding victory that sent a message to the rest of the league.
