FREEPORT 60 BUCCS 0

After experiencing a disappointing defeat the previous Saturday Freeport went to work on the visiting team from Nassau with a passion so far unseen this season! From the kick off Perkins Joseph took a quick penalty and ran half the length of the pitch to score the opening try. Although Buccs were a weakened side it would have been easy for Freeport to lose concentration but this didn’t happen at anytime! Throughout the game the Freeport youngsters rucked, mauled, tackled and passed like young veterans and the final score reflected the dominance of the home side!

CABLE BAHAMAS STARS 1 DYNAMO SMIT 1

A last minute thunderbolt from Travis Yardie secured a point for Dynamo Smit in an entertaining game with very few opportunities and two goals created by geat pieces of individual skill.

In an attempt to shore up the defence , Coach Tommi moved star midfielder Yardie back to central defence and Michael Watkins in goal whilst Cable Bahamas Stars also came out with a defensive looking team in an attempt to stem a run of 3 games without a win.

The early intitative was definitely with Cable Bahamas as good work from Sam Taylor and Kevera Turnquest kept Dynamos under pressure. Good running from Andre Turnquest and Denzil Swain however meant that both teams went onto half time at nil: nil.

It took a piece of great skill from Denzil Deveaux on the left wing to put Stars ahead early in the second half. . Deveaux turned 2 defenders and whipped in a wonderful cross for Terry Augustin to head home for what looked like the winning goal . With seconds remaining however Yardie produced an unstoppable free kick which the keeper could only palm onto the post and into the goal for a deserved equalizer.



GB SHIPYARD WANDERERS 1 BORCO OILERS 2

Borco Oilers shocked the Shipyard Wanderers with a timely win to remind the league leaders that they are a force to be reckoned with.

Two goals from Kerlin Emile ( both of which being absolute belters) set the Oilers to a morale boosting victory . Roger Johnson scored one in reply for the Wanderers in a disappointing end to their winter campaign.

At the end of the regular Winter season , Wanderers finish top and now play Dynamo Smit in the play offs whilst Borco Oilers meet Cable Bahamas Stars : both games set for February 7th at 5pm .


Borco Oilers look strong but don’t count out The Wanderers just yet.

FREEPORT RUGBY CLUB V CUCKOOS (NASSAU)
SATURDAY JANUARY 13TH, 2007



FREEPORT 38 CUCKOOS 26

In one of the most exciting rugby games in recent years Freeport resurrected their rugby year with a thrilling victory over the mighty Cuckoos of Nassau.
Supported with a fantastic home support , Freeport came to the game knowing only a win would keep their season alive. As soon as the whistle went the atmosphere was tingling and within 4 minutes Geo Rolle scored a blazing try and Freeport led 7-0. Soon after Freeport lost Paul Blake to a savaged raked ear and Ricardence Michele came on to join the back row.
Then came one of two of the most superb tries you will ever likely to witness by Denny Oasis. Picking the ball up on his own 22 yr line Denny ran the entire length of the field missing/swerving/gliding and speeding past most of the Cuckoos side. Freeport led 14-0 with Speller kicking both conversations thus far. The score stayed the same for a long period with Cuckoos forwards starting to take control and Freeport losing their discipline.
With the score at 14-0 the Cuckoos came out for the second half firing and soon score rumbling stumbling try to bring the game back to 14-7. Within seconds Denny scored his second and once again it took 60 yards of pace and magic for him to score the second of his tries the crowd to go wild with excitement. 21-7 and Cuckoos came back with a second try and soon it was anyones game. Geo Rolle scored again and the score stood at 21-14 before Ricardence scored in the corner and gave Freeport what they thought was some breathing space. Not to be . Freeport lost Richard Dorsett to the sin bin and then CJ also went plus Jackelo Pierre was lost through injury and the game started to turn. With pressure being applied Freeport started to rock and Cuckoos brought the score back to 31-26 with 5 minutes to go.
After 5 minutes on their own try line Freeport finally secured victory with a superb handling try and Marco Blacks score what was his first Freeport try and sealed a 38-26 victory.
