The Caribbean Americas Soccer Association (CASA) competitions continued this past week with double headers in both the Masters’ and Super League tournaments at the Lauderhill Sports Park in Lauderhill.
In the early Masters’ League contest, Western FC registered a one nil win over Attackers FC to start their season. Kenton Claire
was the hero in this very close encounter. Claire, who is one of the stars of the old Western FC Super League teams and a debutant in the competition, scored the first goal for the Western Masters League team.
In the other Masters’ game, 2017 champions Old Tymers, came out the 3-0 winner against newcomers CT FC, with Jonathan Williams notching a hat trick accounting for all three goals.
Meanwhile, in the Super League curtain raiser, Rock Island Strikers walked away with a 2-1 win over UD Miami FC. Rock Island took an early 2-0 lead in the first half with goals from Kashief Brown and Ramona Sibley.
UD Miami had several opportunities to pull themselves back into the game, including a penalty kick that was missed by last year golden boot winner, Luis Peralta. However, they managed to pull a goal back late on in the game (own goal) but it was too little too late.
In the feature game, last year champions Lauderdale Lakes Blazers, took home a one nil win against a very good Team Haiti. In fact, the Haitians were very unlucky not to get at least a draw out of the game, which was evenly balanced. They were very good on attack but squandered many chances to score, leaving only themselves to blame.
Adrian Reid scored the winner for the Blazers mid-way through the second.
Palm Beach Spartans, who is participating in the Casa Super League for the first time, walked away with a 1-1 tie against Lauderhill Juniors in the season’s opening fixture last Wednesday.
The league matches continue this weekend with Plantation FC facing-off against Palm Beach Spartans at 8:15 p.m. in the Super League, while in the Masters’ League, Lauderdale FC will tackle South Florida Kickers at 4:30 p.m. and Chapel Trial will play Rockers FC at 6:15 p.m. at the Lauderhill Sports Park in Lauderhill.
