In a commanding display of football, Pro Shottas U15 triumphed over Potential Ballers U15 with a resounding scoreline of 6-0 in a league neutral match held at Parkison Field on 17 May 2025. The match kicked off at 8:45 am, showcasing the young talents of both teams in an exciting encounter that left no doubt about the superiority of the Pro Shottas.
Pro Shottas lined up in a 4-2-1-3 formation, which allowed for a solid defensive base while providing ample support for an attacking front. Christopher Palmer took his place in goal, shielded by a back four consisting of Elijah Jacob on the right, Micah James and Keiji Miller as central defenders, and Shakobi Jordan on the left. In midfield, Tye Gittens and Samuel Campion operated as central midfielders, with Kaleb Catwell positioned as an attacking midfielder just behind the front three. The attacking trio comprised Rajae Holder on the right, Zander Holub as the central striker, and Kevio Bellamy on the left, all tasked with creating and converting goal-scoring opportunities.
The substitutes for Pro Shottas included Junilio Richmond, C'jae Nichols, Zefan Scott, Emanuel Espinosa Alvarez, and Nikkeil Freeman, providing depth and tactical flexibility for the team as the match progressed.
The scoring began early, with Kevio Bellamy unleashing a stunning left-footed strike from distance just four minutes into the match, sending the Pro Shottas fans into raptures. The early goal set the tone for what was to come, as the Pro Shottas continued to assert their dominance.
In the 11th minute, Tye Gittens showcased his playmaking ability by assisting Rajae Holder, who finished with precision using his right foot, doubling the lead to 2-0. The Pro Shottas were relentless, and just six minutes later, Kevio Bellamy found the net again, this time with a well-placed right-footed shot inside the box, following a clever assist from Zander Holub.
The onslaught continued as Kaleb Catwell joined the scoring spree in the 17th minute, converting from close range after receiving a pass from Holder, making it 4-0 before the half-time break. The Pro Shottas went into the interval with a commanding lead, leaving Potential Ballers struggling to find a response.
After the break, Pro Shottas made tactical changes, introducing Junilio Richmond for Bellamy in the 42nd minute, followed by C'jae Nichols replacing Catwell shortly after. The substitutions did little to disrupt the flow of the game, as Micah James added to the tally in the 55th minute. He capitalised on a goalmouth scramble, scoring from close range to extend the lead to 5-0.
Further substitutions saw Zefan Scott and Emanuel Espinosa Alvarez come on for Holub and Holder respectively in the 60th minute, while Nikkeil Freeman replaced Elijah Jacob in the 65th minute. The fresh legs continued to push the Pro Shottas forward, and in the 68th minute, Nikkeil Freeman scored a rather fortuitous goal, with C'jae Nichols providing the assist. Freeman's long-range effort left the Potential Ballers goalkeeper with no chance, sealing the emphatic 6-0 victory.
The Pro Shottas U15's performance was nothing short of spectacular, with Kevio Bellamy earning the accolade of Player of the Match for his two goals and overall contribution to the team's attacking prowess. This match not only showcased the talent within the Pro Shottas squad but also highlighted their potential as they continue their campaign in the league.
