Deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation, Pro Shottas Senior set up with Nashton Browne in goal, protected by a back four comprising Shavid Maynard at right back, Robiniho Phillips and Jenard Satney as central defenders, and Korey Reid on the left. The midfield double pivot featured Kobe Burgess and Shakir Harewood tasked with both defensive cover and initiating attacks.

The substitutes available were Romelle Burgess, Luke St.John, Teondre Hinkson, Shaquille Payne, and Zachary Best.

The match began with early intensity but also some disciplinary issues for Pro Shottas Senior, as Ackeem Holder was penalised for holding just three minutes in. However, the visitors were soon stunned when Jenard Satney rose highest to head home a free kick delivered by Kobe Burgess from outside the box in the seventh minute, giving the hosts an early lead. Holder was again involved in a foul two minutes later with a late tackle, signalling a combative approach in midfield.

The physicality of the match intensified with fouls from both sides, including pushes by Shavid Maynard and Shakir Harewood in the early 20s, and a late tackle from Kobe Burgess at 24 minutes. Offside calls continued to disrupt Pro Shottas Senior’s rhythm, with Jones and Webster repeatedly flagged for poor concentration between the 25th and 29th minutes.

Webster’s shot was saved in the 33rd minute, and Jones was denied by the goalkeeper in the 37th minute. Webster’s persistence saw another saved attempt just before half time. The first half closed with Harewood committing a push foul in the 42nd minute, but Pro Shottas Senior went into the break with a deserved 1-0 lead.

The second half saw Browne make a crucial point-blank reaction save in the 47th minute, keeping the visitors at bay. Shewayne Burke’s shot was also saved shortly after. Pro Shottas Senior doubled their advantage in the 53rd minute when Shavonne Jones powered a header from inside the box, assisted by a precise cross from Ackeem Holder.
