VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI- Leading the goal fest in National League play was Virgin Gorda United who, back in action for the first time in two months, routed Positive 16-0 on Sunday, April 7, 2024, in front of their home crowd on the Virgin Gorda Recreation Ground.
The result was win number seven on the bounce for the team, who also remain unbeaten this season, which means they are just seven points behind the league-leading Islanders with four games in hand.
Marvin Browne opened the scoring in just the second minute, the first of his brace, and the goals came in regular intervals from then on in. Jaadon Quashie added a quadruple, Adrian Padilla netted five and Bernard Cumberbatch a hat trick. Ikyjah Williams also scored and Positive didn’t help their own cause by having two players sent off as well as conceding an own goal.
“It was a good came to get the boys back together after such a long break, caused by international call ups,” commented Manager Jermain Abrams. “We are very satisfied with the performance, the way we moved the ball around, kept possession and stayed in control of the game. The players’ movement was good, and we adapted to some in-game adjustments despite being rusty and facing a determined Positive team. We have room to improve still, and we will see how the rest of the season goes one game at a time.”
