HITS Tyrone Mullings continues goalscoring rampage

With seven goals in his last two games, Tru-Juice’s Tyrone Mullings is enjoying a hot streak in the LJPL as he spearheads his team’s attack.

Mullings scored four goals in Tru-Juice’s 5-0 victory over Treasure Beach on Sunday, adding to the hat-trick he netted against Humble Lion the week before.

MISSES MoBay’s second-half slump?

For the second consecutive week, Montego Bay United surrendered a first-half lead following a poor defensive display after the break.

Molynes fall flat against the Junglists

Molynes United suffered their fifth defeat in seven games, offering little resistance in the face of Arnett Gardens’ relentless attacks.

Treasure Beach still without a win

One of two teams yet to register a win this season, Treasure Beach’s struggles continued with a second straight defeat.

The 5-0 home loss to newly promoted Tru-Juice summed up Treasure Beach’s problems this season. The team has scored only four goals in seven matches and remains in the relegation zone.
