PHC clinched a second straight Women’s Futsal League title with a game to spare at Warwick Academy on Saturday.

A Jessica Furtado brace and goals from Taznae Fubler and Symira Lowe-Darrell earned unbeaten PHC a hard-fought 4-3 win over Dandy Stars.

PHC threatened to run away with the match after storming into what appeared a commanding 4-1 lead in the second half. However, Stars rallied, scoring twice to ensure an exciting finish.

Nia Christopher, Kashintae Fox and Dante Allen replied for Stars, who suffered their third defeat of the season.

In the remaining fixtures, Footy Force Stars and Somerset recorded emphatic wins. Footy Force thrashed winless Young Men’s Social Club 9-3, with Cheyra Bell leading the charge with five goals.

Zahra Gibbons, K’Shaela Burch-Waldron, Jada Samuels and Danielle Foote accounted for the team’s other goals.

Social Club, who trailed 5-0 at half-time, replied through Sherkyra Outerbridge, Zekiah Lewis and Nyanje Burgess.

Somerset also had things all their own way in an 8-0 drubbing of Hamilton Parish. Shauntae Todd and Deshae Darrell netted hat-tricks and Dazhjah Greaves added two goals as Somerset cruised to their fifth win of the season.

With the league title having already been decided, attention turns to a close battle for the coveted Golden Boot heading into this weekend’s final round of matches.

Somerset’s Todd tops the scoring charts with 22 goals. Footy Force’s Bell has 21 and Furtado, of PHC, with 18.
