Basseterre, St. Kitts — August 17, 2026 — Honda Newtown United forward Christi-Anne Mills produced a remarkable scoring display over the past week, netting 11 goals in two matches to help her team strengthen its position at the top of the Elvis Star Browne Women’s League standings.
Mills scored all five of Newtown United’s goals in a 5-1 victory over MFCR United Old Road Lady Jets on Thursday August 13 before adding another six goals on Saturday as Newtown overwhelmed S L Horsford St. Paul’s United Sparks 14-0 at the National Bank Group Technical Center.
The two-match scoring spree underlines Mills’ growing influence in Newtown’s unbeaten campaign, with the team continuing to impress at both ends of the field.
Against Old Road on Thursday, Mills found the net in the seventh, thirteenth, twenty-ninth, thirty-sixth and forty-fourth minutes as Newtown went into halftime with a 5-1 advantage. Shaniqua Browne scored Old Road’s lone goal in the forty-first minute.
The match also produced two red cards. Newtown’s Omeara Delaney was sent off in the fifty-eighth minute for violent conduct, while Old Road’s Ovalyn Whyte was dismissed after the match for abusive and insulting language towards the referee.
Mills continued her outstanding form on Saturday, scoring six times in Newtown’s emphatic 14-0 victory over St. Paul’s Sparks.
Takia Carty added two goals, while Sherema Blake found the back of the net four times. Junequa Henry also scored, with Kayzg Boyles completing the fourteen-goal rout with a goal in the fifty-fourth minute. Boyles was later sent off in stoppage time after receiving a second yellow card.
The victory keeps Newtown firmly at the top of the standings, with the team still unbeaten and boasting an impressive defensive record. Newtown have conceded just three goals so far this season.
After Saturday’s match, Newtown goalkeeper Jahnique Arthurton highlighted the importance of
communication, teamwork and maintaining momentum.
“Well, it's all about communicating. it's all about teamwork, working together… having solid games, every training, and it's all about momentum,” she said. “I feel good as a goalkeeper, as a young goalkeeper (to only have conceded three goals), and I just want to go there and be better.”
With the playoffs beginning this coming Saturday, Arthurton said the team’s mentality is straightforward.
“Have fun…win the championship again. Can't let Old Road go with it again,” she said chuckling.
