Grenadian striker helps Alpha United advance in CFU club Championships

KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) – Grenadian striker Kithson Bain has scored again as Guyana’s Alpha United beat former champions Jamaica’s Harbour View one-nil last Sunday to record their second straight win in Group Three of the Caribbean Football Union Club Championships under way in Jamaica.

Bain scored in the 11th minute of play to hand Alpha the advantage which they maintained throughout, following their opening success – a shocking two-nil victory over Trinidad and Tobago’s Defence Force on Friday.
It was Bain’s second goal of the tournament, adding to his conversion three minutes after the interval against Defence Force.
His effort against Harbour View adds another three points to Alpha, taking them to the top of the three-team group with a maximum six points.
“This was not a team that we could take lightly. We came here to qualify and what we did on the field of play had to be in line with that commitment,” said Alpha’s coach Wayne Dover.
“In basketball it is said that offence wins games but defence wins championships. So we had a commitment to fulfil.”
The defeat knocks Harbour View out of the tournament and their match scheduled for yesterday against Defence Force was of academic interest, since the top Trinidad club have also been knocked out.
By virtue of winning their Group, Alpha will next face Valencia FC of Haiti in the final round on April 18 for a place in the semis.
