Premier League Leader, Barrack Young Controllers on Monday proved their readiness to capture their first championship by unmercifully whipping her closer rival Jubilee FC 5 goals to 1 at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Central Monrovia. The result of their last meeting was a draw, which climaxed all premier matches for phase one.

The Blues, with total dominance thru out the 90 minutes interval, took the lead in the early minutes of the first thru a penalty conversion by midfielder, Claudius Morris alias ‘Bone Face” and youngster, Prince Saydee got the second goal later in the same half, making it 2-0 to BYC before the break. Jubilee, after the break, tried to make a comeback but BYC, taking advantage of the napping situation of Jubilee defense, extended her lead to 3 goals thru Claudius Morris again after a brilliant collaboration between the midfielders and newly signed Troken Myers who was brought in for Teko Nah in the 2nd half.

To make matter worst for Jubilee, Sylvester Neufville made it 4-0 and later, Claudius Morris completed his hat-trick from a clever volley by Troken Myers, completing the scoring list for the premiership hopefuls. Jubilee FC got her cancellation goal afterward from a foolish play by the BYC central defense.

In the other premier match, LISCR FC defeated Nimba United 2-1 at the same venue in a very interesting soccer showdown. Marcus MacCauley put LISCR in front in the 20th minutes of the first half but the Nimbianians leveled the score 10 minutes later, with first half ending 1-1. The 2nd half saw a more attacking football from both teams but LISCR got the best out of those attacks by taking the lead again thru young striker, Vitalie Sie; Sosa skillfully played a through ball in the way of the striker, who had only the goalie to beat and he did that cleverly without any hesitation. The match ended 2-1 in favor of the LISCR.

The results keep BYC at the top, with LISCR FC elevating to 2nd place. Jubilee slipped to 3rd spot and Nimba United remains in 5th place; places which they hold for a moment, awaiting results from LPRC Oilers vs. MC Breweries on Thursday this week.
