Showstoppers Simon Emmanuel’s helmet-trick and a hat-trick from Anthony Sancho were not enough to see them past Sophia.
Meanwhile, game two saw Bent Street defeat Beterverwagting (BV) 9-5 after National defender Colin Nelson turned in a superb performance and showed off his goal-scoring ability on his way to getting three goals (13th, 25th, 26th) of his team’s total.
Okeene Fraser, Daniel Wilson, Steffon Ramsay, Sheldon Profitt and Frank Crandon were the other scorers for Bent Street.
