Premier Division leaders PHC left it to extra-time and left boss Sammy Swan fuming after failing to kill off their tie with First Division Somerset Eagles.

Despite piling on the pressure in the first half they had nothing to show for it by the break.

They came closest in the 37th minute when they had the ball cleared off the line while Eagles' best effort came from a Darren Dowling 20-yarder.

PHC began the second half showing the same wasteful finishing which had marred the first with Otis Steede blazing wide from a Raynel Lightbourne cut back.

Duval Wilson eventually put the visitors in front in the 65th minute with a crisp turn and volley from outside the box. And the visitors should have wrapped it up it a minute later when they had three bites of the cherry in a goalmouth scramble but brave keeping by Adrian Burrows kept them at bay.

Eagles then brought on sub Rodre Wilson who netted 10 minutes later with a neat strike as the ball broke to him from 20 yards out.

A superb full length save by Burrows denied PHC's Otis Steede just after the start of extra-time. But ten minutes later Steede was not to be denied as a fine cross from Andre Washington evaded two Eagles defenders. Steede coolly chested the ball down and hammered it into the roof of the net.

And with five minutes to go the ball broke to McKee Smith who slotted home from five yards out. But for PHC boss Swan it had been painful watching.

"The guys were a little too relaxed,'' he said. "We didn't play any type of football whatsoever.

"We made a lot of chances but didn't execute. We just played poorly -- I should be grateful for the victory.'' Eagles' Ricardo (Sharky) Davis said: "Our tank ran out of air in extra-time -- other than that it was a good game.

"That's the first loss we have had since last December so I didn't mind losing it to PHC, they are the number one team on the Island.''
