Pro Shottas Senior 5 vs 0 Maxwell FC

Pro Shottas Senior welcomed Maxwell FC to Bagatelle Playing Field on 6 June 2026 for a neutral cup tie that kicked off at 7:10pm. The hosts produced a commanding display to secure a comprehensive 5-0 win over their opponents in a match that showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity.

Deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation, Pro Shottas Senior set up with Nashton Browne in goal, protected by a back four consisting of Shavid Maynard at right back, Romelle Burgess and Jenard Satney as central defenders, and Korey Reid at left back. The midfield double pivot featured Kobe Burgess and Ronan Lee tasked with controlling the centre of the park and linking defence to attack. Ahead of them, the three attacking midfielders were Teondre Hinkson on the right, Shakir Harewood centrally, and Ishaem Ellis on the left, all supporting lone striker Luke St.John. This setup was designed to provide width, creativity, and a focal point up front, expecting the full-backs to support wide play and the midfielders to supply chances for the striker.

On the bench, the substitutes named were Shaquille Payne, Xaveir Webster, and Ackeem Holder, ready to impact the game as it unfolded.

The match began with Pro Shottas Senior immediately asserting themselves. Early attempts came from Kobe Burgess, who fired wide in the third minute, signalling the team’s intent. Defensive discipline was tested when Jenard Satney committed a push foul in the fifth minute, but the hosts’ goalkeeper Nashton Browne was alert, catching a cross a minute later to keep the clean sheet intact.

Luke St.John, the striker, had an early effort that went high in the sixth minute, followed by a foul he committed in charging an opponent a minute later. He was flagged offside in the eighth minute, a decision credited to good defending by Maxwell FC. Ishaem Ellis was proving a threat down the left flank, forcing two saves from the opposition goalkeeper in the 11th and 15th minutes, and hitting the post in the 19th minute, narrowly missing an opener.

Luke St.John was again involved controversially when an offside call against him in the 19th minute was deemed incorrect, denying what could have been a promising attack. Nashton Browne was busy in goal, catching crosses at the 21st and 26th minutes, ensuring Maxwell FC could not capitalise on any set-piece opportunities.

The breakthrough came in the 29th minute when Luke St.John struck from outside the box with his right foot, following the rebound from a superb srike by Kobe Burgess that hit the post. This goal set the tone for the rest of the catch. Luke was involved in another foul shortly after, pushing an opponent in the 31st minute, but Pro Shottas Senior continued to press forward.

Kobe Burgess had a shot saved in the 42nd minute, while Jenard Satney’s attempt went high at the same time, showing the team’s eagerness to extend their lead before half-time. The first half concluded with Nashton Browne making another crucial catch from a cross in stoppage time, maintaining the clean sheet at the break.

The second half saw Jenard Satney’s shot saved early on in the 50th minute, and a handball foul by Kobe Burgess in the 52nd minute momentarily disrupted the flow. Nashton Browne remained vigilant, catching another cross in the 53rd minute.

Luke St.John doubled the lead in the 56th minute with a close-range header from a cross delivered by Kobe Burgess, who was proving instrumental in creating chances. Just a minute later, Nashton Browne made a comfortable catch, keeping the opposition at bay.

Shakir Harewood then got on the scoresheet in the 62nd minute, heading home a close-range cross from Ishaem Ellis, further emphasising the dominance of Pro Shottas Senior. Luke St.John completed his hat-trick in the 63rd minute, firing a right-footed shot from outside the box after receiving a long pass from Kobe Burgess, leaving Maxwell FC with a mountain to climb.

The match saw some disciplinary moments as Shavid Maynard was booked in the 87th minute for dissent following a holding foul earlier in the 68th minute. Luke St.John and other players were involved in fouls throughout the game, reflecting the competitive nature of the encounter.

Pro Shottas Senior made their first substitution in the 72nd minute, with Shaquille Payne replacing Shakir Harewood. This was followed by Xaveir Webster coming on for Teondre Hinkson in the 74th minute, and Ackeem Holder replacing Ishaem Ellis in the 77th minute, freshening up the attacking options.

Xaveir Webster nearly added to the tally in the 83rd minute when his shot hit the post, a sign of continued pressure. Nashton Browne remained a safe pair of hands, catching another cross in the 88th minute before setting up the final goal himself with a long pass. Webster finished with a left-footed strike from outside the box, sealing a resounding 5-0 victory for Pro Shottas Senior.

This dominant performance was built on a solid defensive foundation, creative midfield play, and clinical finishing up front, with Luke St.John’s hat-trick and Kobe Burgess’s multiple assists standing out. Pro Shottas Senior will take great confidence from this comprehensive win as they progress further in the cup competition.
