The Laraza’s Ian Daley scored with 4 minutes left in the game as they came from behind to earn a 2-2 tie with the Waitikubuli in Tuesday’s late St. Thomas Region’s action at the Lionel Roberts Stadium. The Waitikubuli’s Kerry Burton opened the scoring in the 6th minute. Roberto Machado’s scored the equalizer for the Laraza at the 31st minute mark, but the Waitikubuli’s Oriel Miller put his team 2-1 ahead seven minutes before the half. The scoreline remained the same until Daley’s equalizer.
In the earlier game, the Positive Vibes and the HT Victory were deadlocked at 1-1 when the referee had to terminate the game as players from both teams were involved in physical confrontations. The incident began late in the game when the Victory’s goalie deliberately kicked a player from the Positive Vibes. The player was red carded, but as he was leaving the field of play the confrontations began. In the first half, the Victory’s Jean Yves Joudy scored in the 4th minute to put his team ahead. The Positive Vibes’ Dionis Stephens scored the equalizer in the 34th minute in the game marred with hard tackles. Action will continue Thursday and Friday at the same venue as the regular season comes to an end. The Positive Vibes are the runaway winners but the New Vibes, the Togetherness, the HT Victory and the Raymix are all battling for second and third place with the New Vibes having the edge.
