Signal Hill United Hold Off Eagles FC In Tight 2-1 Contest
You never know what Signal Hill United team is going to show up on a Tobago Premier League Match day. At their latest outing in Courland, Eagles FC were the ones to find out.

Signal Hill United with 5 wins and 5 losses came into this contest in third place, 4 points behind 2nd place Georgia FC. And they knew they must leave the Courland Recreation Ground on the night with a win even so as their opponents were bottom of the table team Eagles FC.

The first goal came in the 28th minute after a well-worked move by Signal Hill, which saw 5 players touching the ball to weave through the Eagles squad, before Onasi Forde picked his corner. 1-0

Eagles were looking for a response in the 36th minute when they broke free on the right. The cross allowed two bites at the cherry then a third attempt going wide. Somehow the referee assistant saw an offside so a goal would not have counted.

Signal Hill with an immediate come back. Anson Campbell picked up on a poor pass before chipping the keeper. 2-0 they lead in the 37th minute which they took to the half.

Not sure if Signal Hill let their foot off the gas in the dying moments, nevertheless Eagles were afforded an opportunity to pull one back in the 90th minute with a tackle in the box that the referee wasn’t happy with. Penalty.

Hard and low and into the corner. Couldn’t ask for a better 12-yard attempt by Hasani Alleyne. 2-1 Eagles making it interesting to the final whistle.

5 minutes of stoppage time couldn’t make a difference as Signal Hill held on for the 2-1 win and third spot in the Premier League standings while Eagles FC remain in 10th spot with their 9th loss of the season.
