Freeport 37 – Buccaneers 5
In the opening game of the 2007/8 Bahamas Cup Freeport ran out winners against the Buccaneers of Nassau 37-5. Missing some regular players Freeport started with a flourish and scored two tries within the first ten minutes of the game with Miles Wilkinson and Perkins Joseph both scoring and Kacey Charlton converting one the tries. With the return of Aaron Turnquest and John Lane after a couple of seasons the backs of Freeport ran the opposition ragged with some fine ball handling. George Walker and Geo Rolle kept the ball flowing and punished Buc’s bu setting up Aaron Turnquest to chip over the top of the defense and score himself. Up front the likes of Leon Mcphee, Nicky Russell and Brad Culmer secured good ball for Freeport and the flankers of Perkins Joseph and Miles Wilkinson ensured the Buc’s back line never had chance to secure good ball. Leading 20-0 at the half Freeport struggle in the first 20 minutes of the second have to break the defense before Perkins Joseph who had just returned from the sin bin scored three quick tries and ran the opposition all over the park.
