Abel hat-trick leads Airy Hall past Haslington All Stars

Airy Hall ascended to the top of the standings, whilst fellow undefeated outfit Buxton Stars was held to a stalemate when the East Coast Demerara Football Association Senior Men’s League continued at the Buxton Community Centre ground.

Airy Hall dismantled Haslington All-Stars 4-1. Burly forward Eion Abel was the architect of the victory, as he recorded a hat-trick. However, it was Leroy Halley who slammed his effort into the far corner in the eighth minute to open the scoring for Airy Hall.

Abel then made presence felt, rifling a powerful shot from inside the area into the back of the net in the 24th minute to make it 2-0. Haslington eventually reduced the deficit in the 29th minute as Delroy Benjamin directed his strike into the roof of the net.
