On 13 June 2026, Pro Shottas Senior faced Paradise FC in a tense cup encounter at the BFA Technical Center, kicking off at 10:00pm. The match ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat for Pro Shottas Senior after a late goal from the visitors. The 90 minutes plus added time saw a tightly contested battle with Pro Shottas Senior unable to find the breakthrough despite several promising attempts.
Pro Shottas Senior lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying Nashton Browne in goal. The defensive line consisted of Shavid Maynard at right back, Romelle Burgess and Jenard Satney as central defenders, and Nathan Blackman on the left. In midfield, Zavion Nurse and Ronan Lee operated as the two central midfielders tasked with both defensive cover and linking play. Ahead of them, the attacking trio featured Teondre Hinkson on the right wing, Kobe Burgess in the central attacking midfield role, and Xaveir Webster on the left. Leading the line was striker Ackeem Holder, expected to spearhead the attack and convert chances. The substitutes available were Zachari Yard, Shakir Harewood, Korey Reid, Ishaem Ellis, and Luke St.John.
The match began with early intensity, and within six minutes Xaveir Webster was penalised for obstruction, setting a physical tone. Nashton Browne was called into action early, confidently catching a cross in the 14th minute to keep the score level. Shortly after, Kobe Burgess committed a push foul in the 15th minute, reflecting the combative nature of the contest. Pro Shottas Senior began to press forward with attempts from Teondre Hinkson and Zavion Nurse in the 16th and 17th minutes respectively, both saved by the opposition goalkeeper.
Ackeem Holder’s effort in the 19th minute went wide, and moments later he was penalised for a high tackle, showing the physical battles up front. Browne was again alert in the 20th minute, catching another cross and producing a point-blank reaction save to deny Paradise FC. The match continued with fouls from Teondre Hinkson for holding in the 25th minute and Nathan Blackman for pushing in the 35th minute, indicating a scrappy midfield battle. Browne maintained his composure with a clean catch of a cross in the 35th minute.
Kobe Burgess was again involved in a foul, this time a high tackle in the 41st minute, and just before half time, Xaveir Webster received a yellow card for serious foul play in the 43rd minute. The first half concluded with Pro Shottas Senior unable to break down Paradise FC’s defence despite their efforts.
The second half saw Pro Shottas Senior start brightly but were caught out for offside twice, with Teondre Hinkson flagged in the 47th minute and Xaveir Webster in the 63rd minute, both due to poor concentration. Browne remained a key figure, catching another cross in the 55th minute. At the hour mark, Nathan Blackman was replaced by Zachari Yard, signalling a tactical shift.
Zavion Nurse tested the keeper again in the 59th minute but was denied, while Ackeem Holder had two saved attempts in the 66th and 71st minutes, showing persistence in attack. Teondre Hinkson was substituted for Shakir Harewood in the 69th minute, and shortly after, Shavid Maynard was forced off injured, replaced by Korey Reid in the 74th minute.
The match grew increasingly physical with fouls from Ackeem Holder for obstruction in the 75th minute, Shakir Harewood for obstruction in the 78th, and Zachari Yard for holding in the 80th minute.

Xaveir Webster was withdrawn in the 84th minute for Ishaem Ellis, and Shakir Harewood’s attempt was saved in the 86th minute. The game took a dramatic turn in the 87th minute when Zavion Nurse was shown a red card for offensive language or gestures, immediately followed by Paradise FC scoring a close-range goal with their right foot, breaking the deadlock late on.
Despite Browne’s continued heroics catching crosses in the 88th and 93rd minutes, and further fouls including Ronan Lee’s holding in the 93rd, Pro Shottas Senior could not find a way back. Zachari Yard received a yellow card for a bad tackle in the 94th minute, and Luke St.John came on for Kobe Burgess in the 95th minute as the team searched desperately for a response.
Ultimately, Paradise FC’s late strike proved decisive in this tightly fought cup tie, with Pro Shottas Senior left to rue missed chances and disciplinary lapses that cost them dearly.
