Nadur Youngsters extended their good moment of form with a handsome 6-1 win over Oratory Youths.  With the points obtained Nadur retained their status as defenders of the title that they won the last season and will therefore face the next matches from the second round of the championship with more confidence in their potential.

In this match Nadur as expected dictated matters and created pressure over Oratory’s defence for most of the time of the encounter.  The Youngsters were very effective in the ball possession and were often dangerous whenever they entered Oratory’s territory.  Nadur’s striker Marcelo Barbosa, who re-joined the reigning champions in January, marked his fine performance by scoring three personal goals.  The Brazilian striker has now scored six goals in the last three matches and has joined the group of strikers who are challenging for the Top-Scorer honour this season.  On the other hand Oratory struggled to limit the danger within their area and at the same time they found it very difficult to create the opportunities where their striker Diego Steven Gomez Maldonado could create trouble to Nadur’s rear guard.
