SHACKIEL HENRY was a virtual one-man wrecking crew, netting eight goals as Presentation San Fernando demolished Vessigny 11-0 yesterday in the opening game of a South Zonal quarter-final double-header in the Coca-Cola Intercol.
The Vessigny players, who all looked much smaller and younger than their opponents, were virtual lambs to the slaughter at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.
Henry, the Pres centre-forward, found the back of the net in the first, seventh, 32th, 35th, 47th, 51st, 84th and 87th.
Vessigny goalkeeper Lennox George was again beaten by J’van Pontiflet (22nd), Mickell Charles (31st) and Glen Sutton (64th).
