No Saints 4-4 Red Stripe

In a rare draw last night, we were held by Red Stripe in an entertaining 4-4 score line. After last week’s collapse after being 3-0 to the good, we once again suffered an almighty coming off the rails at the same score but this time were able to fight back to claim a point.

Dave struck first with his now traditional early goal before Abib made it 2-0 on his return to the side. I grabbed a third after good work from Jamie but Red Stripe fought back as the game got more intense by the minute with tempers flaring all over the park. We were 4-3 behind before we knew it but Abib popped up with an equaliser with just over five minutes to play to set up an exciting conclusion.

Dave agonisingly hit the bar in the closing stages as we finished strong but couldn’t find the winner. But at least the run of defeats is now over and we can look forward to our one year anniversary game next Wednesday knowing we’re off the mark this season!
