AN INJURY-TIME goal by young striker Dwayne Mars, misses by Terry Odle, and a superb last-minute acrobatic save by veteran goalkeeper Vasco “Ninja” Husbands.
Those were the memorable moments of Thursday night’s two contrasting draws in the first mid-week action of the LIME Pelican Football Challenge which attracted close to 4 000 fans at the National Stadium.
