Devonshire Derby

Prospect 8 Devonshire 7

This afternoons events saw Devonshire Lions return to Headquarters Hill in hopes of avenging their 8-0 loss in the Masters league Cup a few week ago and inflict some damage on the Prospect Police record this season of 5 wins 2 draws and 1 loss in the Bermuda Football Association Masters League.

Devonshire Lions entered the arena with a deep bench time this outing including the likes of Brangman and Otis but were without the likes of their trusted left footer Kyjuan “Lefty” Saltus whom Devonshire acquired from Prospect United in the previous transfer market.

Prospect were without the likes of the ever present captain and talisman Tracy Adams and Jamaican international striker Steward, which saw Kevin Thompson a rare opportunity to start in the Prospect attack.

Devonshire came out of the starting blocks running with confidence and winds at theirs backs with some slick passing game and familiar attack from Corey and Nally in the Devonshire front line.

Prospect however struck first against the run of play when Woody ran through the Devonshire defensive line up and gave Thompson the opportunity to strike from the six yard box at the eastern end of the field to begin the proceedings.

Devonshire rallied back and decided not to let their traveling supporters down and executed a brilliant attack keeping the ball on the ground with precise one two passes causing havoc in the midfield of the pitch Weeks unleashing his strikers behind the defense enabling them to get on the score sheet.

Kevin Thompson matched their efforts and was able to score at will as Otis was forced to make diving saves a record amount of times to keep his team in the game.

Both teams entered the half at 6 -5 meaning both teams needed to dig deeper in order to secure a their sides victory.

Reggie was able to send diagonal crosses into the police penalty box with some effect as they took the lead early in the second half giving them a psychological confidence in their ability and allowing their substitute a run at goal.

But Chris Thompson had seen it all before and laced up his boots and entered the pitch to one intention of retaking he lead and ending the game with never seen before agility and unprecedented playing style the Lions were unable to contain the Prospect attack and the referee blew the whistle with the score board reading Prospect 8 Devonshire 7 solidifying their place at the top of the Masters League and booking their spot in the Concacaf region.

Despite the link up play from Butterflied in the front line and Kio supplying through balls the Prospect’s defense were too organized and disciplined to allow the Bluebirds a clean look at goal.

The suspense was delivered a serious blow when Jamaican international midfielder Warren Reid sliced through the defensive line and slotted home a daisy cutter into the corner pocket of the Social Club goal posts giving the keeper no chance and catapulting the Devonshire outfit to the top of the league tables establishing themselves as the most ruthless and merciless championship contenders in the CONCACAF region.
