Khan began the goal shout for his team in the 6th minute and added seven more before regulation time was up, by finding the back of the net in the 28th, 31st, 35th, 38th, 44th, 68th and 70th minutes of the contest.

Edwards’ brace (27th, 31st), while D. Austin and J. Lopez got solitary strikes in the 46th and 24th minutes respectively.
St John’s lone goal was scored by Aroydy Brandford in the 54th minute, as his team’s defeat surpassed overtook the 18-1 drubbing Academy of Professional Studies inflicted on Covent Garden Secondary, last Monday.
At the West Demerara Secondary School ground, Uitvlugt Secondary edged La Grange Secondary 3-2 in a closely fought contest, with Kevin Dundas (39th), Jevane Eastman (50th) and Kevon Jones (54th) scoring for the victors, while Jamal Bentick got a brace in the 42nd and 48th minute for La Grange.
