TUCKER, St James Kashief Brown scored a hat trick to lead Premier League club and defending champions Montego Bay United (MBU) on a 9-0 romp over struggling Division One club Paradise FC in their second-round St James Football Association Captains Bakery and Grill Knockout game at Wespow Park on Thursday.

Johann Weatherly also got a second-half double for MBU, who rested a number of their top players in the first game for new coach Rod Underwood.

MBU now join Heights FC, Somerton FC, Club Stars FC and Montego Bay Boys Club in the quarter-finals.

A spirited start by the young Paradise FC team, comprised of school boy players, kept the powerful MBU team at bay for 16 minutes until Brown converted from close range to give the Premier League team the lead.

Central defender Pagiel Brown, making his first start for MBU, made it 2-0 in the 24th minute with a skilful finish, again from close range, using his heel to deflect the ball past goalkeeper Jermaine McCalla. Brown made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute for a 3-0 half-time lead.

The Premier League team was more ruthless in the second half as they pumped in six more goals, including an own goal in the 58th minute.

Weatherly scored in the 54th and 67th minutes, Allan Ottey in the 68th, Brown completed his hat trick in the 79th minute, before Donovan Carey scored in the 85th.
