As football fans look to take in some exciting football action on the weekend in the St. Lucia Semi Professional Football League, we look at two matches which took place earlier this week.

Vieux Fort South seem to have gotten better with each match under their belt making light work of South Castries in their Wednesday encounter at the Soufriere Mini Stadium. By the half time whistle it looked clear that the team from the south had taken charge of the game, highlighted by their 1-0 lead. That goal came from Montel Justin in the 32nd minute of play.

Moses Henry made it 2-0 after the break with Donovan Perpie adding another in two quickfire strikes in the 60th and 61st to secure a 3-0 win. South Castries showed fight but it was not enough to even register a consolation goal. These two teams were the promoted performers from the second-tier last season.

The other talked about encounter that was destined to be a blockbuster did not live up to expectation. Fans were hoping for a goal-fest as the competition moves into high gear.

Runaway league leaders La Clery met a very resilient Dennery team determined to add much needs points to their tally. La. Clery came into the much depleted, having tragically lost Ajani Hippolyte to drowning, with multiple players out through injury, including Kalum Marius, and others on suspension.  Nonetheless both teams went in attempting to secure all three points with the balance of pressure shifting multiple times however they had to settle with a point a piece as the game ended in a goalless draw.

This weekend’s action will see the National Under 20 team meet Laborie in the third place playoff of the second division while Anse La Raye will face off against Vieux Fort North in the finals on Saturday evening at the Soufriere Mini Stadium.
