On 8 July 2026, Pro Shottas Senior welcomed Silver Sands to Greens Playing Field for a league home match kicking off at 9:00pm. The hosts delivered a commanding performance to secure a 3-0 victory in a tightly contested 90-minute encounter.

Pro Shottas Senior lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Nashton Browne guarding the goal. The defensive line featured Shavid Maynard at right back, Romelle Burgess and Robiniho Phillips as central defenders, and Nathan Blackman on the left. In midfield, Kobe Burgess and Zavion Nurse operated as the two holding central midfielders, tasked with both defensive duties and initiating attacks. Ahead of them, the attacking midfield trio consisted of Ishaem Ellis on the right wing, Shakir Harewood centrally as the attacking midfielder, and Teondre Hinkson on the left. Leading the line was striker Xaveir Webster, expected to spearhead the attack and convert chances. On the bench, Luke St.John, Shaquille Payne, Korey Reid, and Kobe Griffith were named as substitutes.

The match burst into life immediately as Pro Shottas Senior took the lead inside the opening minute. Zavion Nurse delivered a precise assist to Teondre Hinkson, who calmly finished inside the box with his right foot, setting the tone for the evening. Early attempts followed from Ishaem Ellis and Xaveir Webster, though Ellis’s effort sailed high and Webster’s shot went wide, both in the fifth minute. Webster’s misplaced pass at seven minutes was an early blemish but did not threaten the hosts’ dominance.

Throughout the first half, Pro Shottas Senior’s defence remained resolute. Zavion Nurse intercepted a key pass at 15 minutes, while Shavid Maynard executed a crucial tackle two minutes later. Robiniho Phillips and Romelle Burgess were instrumental in clearing danger, with Phillips clearing at 18 minutes and Burgess intercepting at 19. The defensive midfielders, Kobe Burgess and Zavion Nurse, also contributed defensively, with Kobe winning headers and intercepting at 21 and 24 minutes respectively.

Offensively, Pro Shottas Senior pressed hard but were occasionally caught offside, with Ishaem Ellis and Xaveir Webster both flagged for mistimed runs at 16 and 20 minutes. Webster’s holding foul at 24 minutes and Harewood’s obstruction at 14 minutes were minor setbacks but did not disrupt the flow. Attempts from Webster and Ellis continued but were either saved or off target, including a high shot from Kobe Burgess at 30 minutes and saved efforts from Webster at 32 and 36 minutes.

The hosts doubled their advantage just before half-time. At 40 minutes, Shakir Harewood provided a short pass to Kobe Burgess, who struck a right-footed shot from outside the box following a set piece. This goal underlined the team’s ability to capitalise on dead-ball situations and extended their lead to two. The half concluded with further defensive solidity, including an interception by Robiniho Phillips at 45 minutes.

Shortly after the break, Pro Shottas Senior made an early substitution due to injury, with Luke St.John replacing Ishaem Ellis at 46 minutes. The second half saw continued pressure from the hosts, with Webster’s shot saved immediately after the restart. Robiniho Phillips maintained defensive composure with a well-timed tackle at 48 minutes. Offside calls continued to disrupt attacking rhythm, including a mistimed run by Teondre Hinkson at 50 minutes and a contentious offside against Webster at 53 minutes.

Luke St.John was involved in a couple of fouls, including a push at 51 and 65 minutes, while Kobe Burgess’s late tackle at 29 minutes and Shakir Harewood’s push at 33 minutes added to the physical nature of the contest. Despite this, Pro Shottas Senior’s defence remained unbreached, with Romelle Burgess making a vital tackle to prevent a chance at 71 minutes.

The third goal arrived in the 56th minute when Kobe Burgess turned provider, delivering a short pass to Zavion Nurse who finished with his right foot. This goal effectively sealed the match and demonstrated the midfield’s creative and finishing prowess. Tactical substitutions followed at 63 minutes, with Shaquille Payne replacing Zavion Nurse and Korey Reid coming on for Shavid Maynard, signalling a shift to maintain control.

Nashton Browne was called into action with a couple of saves and other goalkeeping interventions around the 33rd and 64th minutes, ensuring the clean sheet remained intact. Webster continued to test the opposition keeper with saved attempts at 66 minutes, while Kobe Burgess and Kobe Griffith also had efforts saved later in the game. Griffith replaced Webster at 72 minutes and showed promise despite a high shot at 73 minutes.

The closing stages saw further fouls from Luke St.John and a late tackle from Harewood, but Pro Shottas Senior’s discipline and defensive organisation ensured no reply from Silver Sands. Offside decisions, some questionable, continued to halt attacking moves, including calls against Luke St.John at 82 and 89 minutes. Shaquille Payne’s high attempt at 88 minutes was among the final efforts of the match.

In summary, Pro Shottas Senior delivered a comprehensive and controlled performance at Greens Playing Field, combining early aggression, midfield creativity, and defensive resilience to secure a 3-0 victory over Silver Sands. The team’s tactical discipline and clinical finishing ensured all three points were comfortably secured on home soil.
