The 2019 Blackheart Knockout Champions Vieux Fort South, was confined to their second consecutive defeat in the Saint Lucia Football Association Island Cupand at the hands of Marchand in an away game on Saturday 26th October.
Playing in the second stage of the National Lotteries Authority sponsored Island Cup the depleted Vieux Fort South team was no threat to their Northern opponents who were without their prolific goal scorer Lincoln Phillip.
Romiel Felix shot Marchand into the lead in the first minute of play to signal what was to follow. There was no letting up as he scored his second in the 12th minute as the half ended 2 – 0.
On the resumption, despite playing short, Vieux Fort South put up some form of a token resistance but this was insufficient as Jannaie Lesmond wrapped up the proceedings in the 85th minute thus giving the defending champions a well earned 3 – 0 victory.
In the second game played on the evening Gros Islet continued with their winning form coming from a goal down to defeat Central Castries 3 – 2 in a hard fought encounter.
They got their goals from Eden Charles in the 61st and 75th minute and Amaris Lorde in the 87th minute.
Central Castries got their goals from Dillon Lucien in the 27th minute and Kinsley Henry in the 86th minute.
