For the third straight week, the San Pedro SeaHawks have come away with the win, catapulting them into the top four teams in the Regent Insurance Cup 2004 Championship.

    In Week 7, the SeaHawks lost to Sagitun 2-1 with Orlando Pinelo scoring the only goal. During Week 8 though, the island team came alive with a win over Juventus 2-1, courtesy of goals scored by Marco Izepy and Rudolph Flowers. Maintaining this momentum, Week 9 found the team facing the newest Corozal team, the Calcutta Bulls, which they easily defeated with a 3-1 win, thanks to goals from Rudolph Flowers, Jarbi Alvarez and Anthony Gonzalez.

    Last weekend, the 10th week of the competition, the SeaHawks overcame one of their biggest challenges in a showdown with Kulture Yabra. Although very defensive throughout the first half of the match, Flavio PiÒeiro's two goals in the 52nd and 74th minutes turned the game into a bitter defeat for the Belize City team as San Pedro ended up shutting them out, 2-0. Moreover, this victory also moved the SeaHawks into the 2nd place spot in the Belize Premier Football League (BPFL)!

    The scoring was all one-sided as well in the other Week 10 BPFL matches. Juventus shut out Builder's Hardware Bandits (2-0), and Griga United embarrassed Sagitun (2-0).

    The BPFL standings and points accumulated after Week 10 are: 1st Juventus ñ 17, 2nd San Pedro SeaHawks ñ 15, 3rd Griga United ñ 15, 4th Sagitun ñ 13, 5th Builder's Hardware Bandits ñ 12, 6th Kulture Yabra ñ 11, and 7th Calcutta Bulls ñ 1.

    Week 11 games are scheduled as follows: Saturday, May 15th - Belmopan Builder's Hardware Bandits vs. Kulture Yabra in Isidorio Beaton Stadium, and Sagitun vs. Juventus in Michael Ashcroft Stadium. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 16th - Calcutta Bulls vs. Griga United on Calcutta Field at 3:30 p.m.

    The recent withdrawal of Hankook Verdes from the League has left the San Pedro SeaHawks with a free weekend so the team is keeping busy by conducting fundraising events throughout this weekend. A block party is planned for Saturday evening, May 15th and a beach party is scheduled for Sunday, May 16th. Both events will be held at Central Park. Anybody needing more information about these events or wishing to make a contribution to the team may contact Gabriel Arana at 608-1622 or Eiden Salazar at 610-1497. The entire community of San Pedro is asked to come out and support their local football team ñ the mighty San Pedro SeaHawks!
