Wray and Nephew National Premier League champions Waterhouse F.C. were eliminated from the CFU Caribbean Club Championships, following Haitian club Baltimore Sportif's impressive 4-0 win over Curaçao's Deportivo Banda Abou at the Waterhouse Mini-Stadium yesterday.

Baltimore Sportif's win sees them top the three-team Group B with six points, following a 2-0 win over hosts Waterhouse on Friday. With only one team from each group advancing to the semi-final round, Sportif booked their spot alongside Harbour View, who topped Group A earlier in the week.

"This was a very disappointing result for us, we were really looking forward to doing well in the Caribbean Championships," said Waterhouse coach Barrington Gaynor.

Purely academic interest

"Now we'll just have to turn our attention back to the Premier League and Tuesday's game should give us a bit of practice at least." he added.

Waterhouse will play against Deportivo Banda Abou tomorrow at the Waterhouse Stadium in a game of purely academic interest.

Striker Dumel Decius slammed in a first-half hat-trick for the Haitian team, who dominated proceedings from start to finish. Decius, whose pace was always going to be a problem for the Banda Abou back line, struck from close range in the sixth minute. He then sprinted away from the back line, before poking the ball over the head of advancing Deportivo Banda Abou keeper Jarzinho Pieter in the 26th minute, after collecting a return pass from teammate Baril Joseph. Decius completed his hat-trick on the stroke of half-time after collecting a pass from teammate Emerlin Nicolas six yards away from goal. Lesca Cileus completed the scoring for the Haitian team with a goal in the 61st minute.
