Pro Shottas Senior lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying Nashton Browne in goal. The defensive line consisted of Keshawn Thomas at right back, Robiniho Phillips and Romelle Burgess as central defenders, and Kobe Griffith on the left.

Leading the line was Shavonne Jones as the lone striker, expected to spearhead the attack and convert chances. The substitutes named were Xavier Webster, Ishaem Ellis, Kobe Burgess, and Jenard Satney.

The match began with Pro Shottas Senior showing early intent. Within three minutes, Teondre Hinkson attempted a shot from distance but sent the ball high over the bar.

Shakir Harewood tested the opposition defence with a wide effort in the 18th minute, while both Hinkson and Jones were caught offside in quick succession at 20 and 21 minutes respectively, highlighting some mistimed attacking runs.

Teondre Hinkson was also penalised for obstruction in the 26th minute.

This goal gave Pro Shottas Senior the lead and injected confidence into their play. However, the attacking pressure continued to be hampered by offside calls, with Shavonne Jones again flagged offside at 31 minutes.

The physicality of the match intensified with Shakir Harewood committing a late tackle at 33 minutes and Ackeem Holder conceding a handball foul at 37 minutes. Zavion Nurse’s attempt at goal in the 41st minute sailed high, while Shavonne Jones saw a shot saved shortly after, keeping the scoreline at 1-0 going into half-time.

The second half started with a swift response from Notredame, who equalised just two minutes after the restart at 47 minutes.

The closing stages saw further fouls from Zavion Nurse and Ishaem Ellis, including a handball at 89 minutes, and a late tackle by Ackeem Holder at 91 minutes, but neither side could find a winner.
