Prospect 8 Hamilton Parish 2

Hamilton Parish Hot Peppers musters up enough confidence to face their opponents and arch rivals Prospect Police Club at the sanctioned event in St. David’s this afternoon. Hamilton Parish came out with their backs in the wind as they managed to organize an attack force that showed them so much success since the early 80’s and 90’s. Nevertheless they were no match for the newly formed police until which introduced a never seen before English attack that the Hot Peppers had no game plan for. Both teams entered the half at 1-1 but with the Police deep bench they were able to out run their opponents in the later stages of the match finishing the game 8-2.
