Defending champions PHC survived a scare during last weekend’s Women’s Futsal action at Warwick Academy.

The unbeaten league leaders were forced to come from behind twice before seeing off lowly Young Men’s Social Club, who gave their opponents a run for their money.

PHC were forced to chase the game after Social Club went ahead in the first minute.

They equalised but fell behind again when their opponents regained the lead.

PHC eventually opened the floodgates to take a 5-2 lead into the break and never looked back, smashing five more past Social Club in the second period to come away with an emphatic 10-3 victory.

Jessica Furtado led PHC’s charge with five goals, Aaliyah Nolan added a hat-trick and Raeesah Shakir a brace. Zekiah Lewis scored a hat-trick in a losing cause for Social Club.

PHC hold a six-point advantage over nearest rivals CP Cicas at the top of the table.

Chicas won by default over HPWC who were unable to field a team.

In the only other match played on Saturday, Dandy Stars thumped Somerset Cricket Club 8-1.

Stars led 4-0 at the interval and were never troubled by their opponents who have not enjoyed the best of times this season.

Zahra Gibbons and Delia Ebbin scored hat-tricks for Stars with Dontae Allan and Nia Christopher also scoring.

Somerset replied through a consolation strike from Trinnae Edwards.

Organisers have postponed this weekend’s matches as they clash with the Kappa Classic football tournament at the National Sports Centre.
