However, Flemmings get past a defender in the 18 yard box and become the provider for Brown who maked no mistake with his second chance. He picked his spot calmly to get the go ahead goal for the dark blues in the 35th Minute.
Flemmings got his first of the contest five minutes later when Holy Trinity failed to clear the ball out of their eighteen yard box and swung his foot in the ball which went right through the Holy Trinity custodian hands to make it 2-0 to JC, a lead they held to the break.
On the resumption JC started with more confidence than in the first half, and it showed in the 47th minute when Flemmings took a shot just inside the box to have Antonio Millington in goal struggling to deal with the ball.
Ronaldo brown could have pull one back for Holy Trinity in the 59th minute when he received a ball in the box but could not finish with only the keeper to beat. Soon after Flemmings making space and running between two defenders saw his powerful shot saved by the Holy Trinity shot blocker Millington to keep the score line at 2-0.
Flemmings scored his second of the game and gave JC a 3-0 lead sortly after. A brilliant square from Shemar Robinson on the right to Allando Brown resulted in his shot being saved but Flemmings was there for a simple tap in.
The supporters were leaving due to the rain when man-of-the-match Flemmings fed Raffique Bryan with a through ball and he finished to make it 4-0 in time added on.
JC was ruthless in front of goal and did made Holy Trinity pay for their mistakes and numerous missed goal scoring opportunities.
