VICTORIA Kings hammered Golden Stars 9-0 on Saturday afternoon at BV Community Centre Ground as the Mackeson Premier League resumed after a one week break for the World Cup qualifiers. Aubrey Gibson netted in the 9th, 14th, 33rd, 68th, and 84th minute , while Winston Pompey netted in the 27th, 44th, and 70th.
Former national Under 17 Striker Rolston  “Crespo” Morrison netted the other goal in the 76th minute as the Kings went on a goal spree.
Victoria Kings showed their superior skills from as early as the 3rd minute when Winston Pompey missed a goal from 15 yards. He fired a right foot shot wide of the target after being set clear on goal with a push through from national Under- 20 Midfielder Calvin De Souza.
Aubrey Gibson opened the score for Kings when he volleyed from  the first post a Reuben Morris cross; Gibson got his second 5  minutes later when he crashed a powerful left foot shot through the legs of Golden Stars keeper who was beaten with the speed of the ball.
Victoria Kings keeper Andrew Williams denied Golden Stars Carlos Kingston from just inside the 18 yards box with a brilliant one hand save, as Kings central defender Clayton Wilson failed to clear.
Pompey opened his account when he tapped in Alden Lawrence square pass; Gibson completed his hat-rick when his shot was misjudged by Golden Stars keeper who chucked the ball into his own net.  Pompey who now has 8 goals in  the league added his second when he headed in Dewayne Stephen’s cross at the far post.
Victoria Kings went into half time with a 5-0 nil lead, while most of the supporters of Golden Stars left the ground as the writing was already on the wall.
In the second segment,  Kings continued their dominance but missed many clear cut chances; Golden Stars created a few chances of their own but their front men lacked the technical capabilities and couldn’t finish.
Gibson added his fourth when he beat the opposition’s keeper with a fierce left foot shot, while  Pompey added his third when he slot home from 6 yards after Sherlock Dowden ran clear of his marker and slipped the ball for Pompey who was left unmarked.
Rolston Morrison placed his name on the scoresheet  with  his first goal of the season for Kings when he  shook up Golden Stars defence and fired a powerful right foot into the roof of the net. Gibson sealed the deal for Kings when he converted a penalty after winger Dewayne Stephens was brought down from behind in the box by a defender from Golden Stars.
It was the most goals a single team ever scored in the EDFA Senior League since 2006 when Victoria Kings thrashed Enterprise FC 9-1 and went on to win the league that same year.
The defeat for Golden Stars means that they are winless and remain at the bottom of the table with 1 point.
