SP Captain Shark’s Veterans win big in Honduras

The San Pedro Captain Shark’s Veterans came back from a very successful away trip where they confronted two Honduran teams. From Thursday, May 26th to Monday, May 30th, the veterans were busy playing football in Puerto Cortez. The first game was against Equipo Municipalidad de Veterano de Puerto Cortez which ended in a 1-1 tie. The second game was against Municipalidad de Juveniles de Puerto Cortez, and this time, the San Pedro Veterans won BIG with a score of 4-1!

After such a successful showing, the team came back home and will be preparing to meet the Puerto Cortez for a sure-to-be exciting rematch on the island during the first weekend of July.

The San Pedro Veterans football club would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to the following businesses that helped them on their recent visit: Pete’s Enterprises, Area Representative Mr. Manuel Heredia, Captain Shark’s, Cholo’s, and San Pedro Water Jets [for the fare special given to the players].

Captain Raul Gonzalez promises to keep everyone updated as the days draw nearer for the rematch.

San Pedro Seadogs fall to Platense of Honduras

On Sunday, the Ambergris Stadium came alive when Belize’s San Pedro Seadog hosted Platense of Puerto Cortez Honduras. Amidst a large multitude, both teams stepped on the field ready to claim the big W. In the first half, the Seadogs was in control of the ball game. In fact, in the first few minutes, Seadogs blasted the Platense goalkeeper with a kick from outside the 18-yards box but the referee ruled that the ball did not cross the goal line.

Early in the second half however, Seadogs managed to capitalize on a play and scored the first goal of the ball game. But the glory was short-lived after Platense capitalized from a corner kick making it a 1 to 1 ball game. Later in the second half, Platense scored a second goal originating from a foul outside the 18-yards box.

Seadogs pulled out their best play and in the last few minutes of the game, they managed to blast Platense, shaking the net for a third time, but unfortunately the referee ruled that the goal was offside. At the end of the game, Platense won over Seadogs in a 2 to 1 ball game.

Congratulations to Platense Football Club on the big win and also to the Honduran community. According to our source the last time San Pedro Town witness an international football game was in the 1980’s when a Brazilian team was invited on the island.
