Hydel coach Donovan Hayles cautioned his team not to allow Calabar to drag them down, after knowing the Red Hills road team were in a tough situation, having dropped points in the previous round.

In the race to capture the spot for the LIME SUPER CUP Calabar dropped crucial points following a 1-1 draw with St Catherine. Hydel in the same round coasted to a 14-0 win over bottom place Penwood. According to Hayles allowing complacency to set in was never on the cards.

"I told them about what I have seen as a coach and that we need to keep our feet on the ground, but I told them the game was going to be different," Hayles, said following the game.

"I told them it was a Calabar team that was desperate and needed to win. I gave them the example of a drowning man trying to save a drowning man, he will drag you under. Calabar were in a desperate situation we weren't going to come here with any complacency and allow them to draw us down."
