Griffith leads Golden Boot race in Premier League

Paradise attacker Kamol Griffith leads a tight race for the season’s most prolific striker award, heading into the final three rounds of the Barbados Football Association’s Premier League season.

The Vincentian heads a 12-man list which features six of his teammates from the Dover-based club.

Currently one point behind table leaders and defending champions Weymouth Wales, Paradise have so far scored a competition leading 53 goals, well ahead of Wales, who are next on the list on 31.

Having added two more goals to his tally while playing against Wotton on Saturday, Griffith has so far scored 13 goals from 13 games played, one more than teammate Sheran Hoyte, Ellerton captain Shakille Belle and Bagatelle star Torian Joseph.

The Brittons Hill pair of Kirtney Franklin and T’Shane Lorde have scored nine and six goals respectively to be next on the list, along with Eyre’s Meat Shop Gall Hill talisman Shakarie Mottley and Paradise’s Shamari Harewood, who also have six goals.

Four players have scored five goals for the season. They are Jaron Oughterson of Paradise, Liam Luke of Kickstart Rush, Paradise’s Tyrel Rayside Demendonca and Steven Pierre of Brittons Hill.
