Devonshire Cougars 7

Devonshire Colts 0

Kwame Steede produced a vintage performance at the Den last night that will long live on in infamy in the memory of Devonshire Colts fans.

The Devonshire Cougars captain returned to peak form with a clinical display of finishing that left Colts for dead in this one-sided derby.

Steede converted in the 11th, 20th, 44th, 66th and 68th minutes to leave no doubt as to who would walk off with man-of-the-match honours.

Striker Raymond Beach and Darious Cox also got in the scoring act as Cougars had things all their way after absorbing some early pressure.

It had started so promisingly for Colts who showed good intent with purposeful football in the early stages.

But once Steede unlocked the visitor's defence with a low drive inside the far post, the entire complexion of the match altered dramatically as Cougars sharpened their claws and moved in for the kill.

Having gained the early momentum, Cougars doubled their lead in comical fashion nine-minutes later when 'keeper Kevin Bean - who attempted to drive off in his car in disgust at the half with his team trailing 4-0 - fumbled Steede's intended cross across the line after losing his balance at the near post.

Cougars tightened the noose with Beach calmly converting from the spot after Steede was hacked down in the box.

Steede then notched Cougars' fourth on the stroke of half-time to complete a well-taken hat-trick as the match as a contest had all but ended.

Referee Ronue Cann had to fetch a now humiliated Colts side out of the dressing room before starting the second-half. Perhaps they were aware of more misery to come as Steede picked up where he had left off and bagged two more goals in the space of two-minutes before Cox served the last rites with a well-placed free-kick from 40 yards that in all honesty Bean should've easily gathered.

Earlier, Vince Minors Jr made amends for a missed penalty when he netted Wolves' 90th minute winner in a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over X Roads.

Michael Dill scored Wolves' first goal while Lashun Smith was on target for X Roads who might've felt hard done by a few decisions that went against them.
