Paradise Football Club produced a commanding performance to reclaim top spot in the Barbados Football Association Premier League with an emphatic 5–0 victory over UWI Blackbirds at the BFA Technical Centre.
The result marked a strong response from Paradise, who returned to the summit in convincing fashion with a display built on attacking quality, intensity, and clinical finishing.
Forward Kamal Griffith led the charge with a brace, continuing his impressive form and proving a constant threat to the UWI defence. His movement and composure in front of goal set the tone for a dominant attacking display.
Paradise opened the scoring in the first half through Sheran Hoyte, who reacted sharply to finish after a well-worked attacking move. The breakthrough allowed the team to settle into their rhythm, controlling possession and dictating the tempo of the game.
The second half saw Paradise shift into another gear. Griffith added his second of the night, while captain Jomo Harris played a pivotal role in midfield, orchestrating attacks and maintaining control throughout.
Further goals from Shamari Harewood and Tariq Barrow completed the rout, as Paradise capitalised on sustained pressure and defensive lapses from the opposition.
Defensively, Paradise remained solid and organised, limiting UWI’s opportunities and ensuring a comfortable clean sheet. Goalkeeper Jireh Malcolm was largely untroubled behind a disciplined backline.
The victory lifts Paradise back to the top of the standings, underlining their consistency and attacking strength as the title race intensifies.
