Latinos, BTFC win at Annex
- Updated: 24 October 2016
Latinos FC picked up their first win of the season and Bodden Town FC rebounded from their only loss, as both clubs picked up three points apiece in week four action in Cayman Premier League at the Annex on Sunday.
In the early game, a brace from Leoni McKenzie Martinez was the difference as Latinos FC edged Academy SC 3-2.
Zeicko Herrera opened the scoring in the 8th minute but Jonah Ebanks pulled Academy level two minutes later. Ebanks added his second in the 29th to put Academy ahead but Martinez equalized just before the break.
The scoresheet went untouched until the 89th, when Martinez’s late goal gave Latinos FC their first win in the local top-flight since 2009.
Up next for Latinos FC is a date with Roma United at the Annex on 30 October at 4:45 p.m.

Ricoh Brown and David Connolly each scored for the second time this season as Bodden Town FC pulled away for the 3-1 victory. John Bruton scored Sunset’s second goal of the month-old season in the 71st.
Bodden Town FC plays Academy SC next Sunday 7:00 p.m. at the Annex, while Sunset has an abbreviated week, returning to the Annex on Friday night against Cayman Athletic. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
The new initiative by CIFA to occasionally have games under the lights on Fridays is part of efforts to attract more fans to come out. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. The next Friday night game will not be until January.
