![]() Jermain 'Tuffy' Anderson Livingston Scott, STAR Writer Waterhouse Football Club's prolific marksman, Jermain 'Tuffy' Anderson, looked sharp and on top of his game as he hit a hat-trick past Boys' Town in a 5-1 win over their opponents in their Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) fixture at Drewsland on Sunday. The out-of-favour national striker's three goals brought his season's tally to 18, two behind Reno's Craig Foster, the leading scorer. The veteran goalscorer was quick to point out that the club has put the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) no show disappointment behind and the focus is on winning the title and earning the Golden Boot. "The CFU thing gone and we cannot do anything about that. We just have to stay focus and try to get this (RSPL) title because Waterhouse deserve it. We have a bigger picture to focus on and my main focus is the title and the Golden Boot. Once I am scoring, the title must come." On Sunday, it took the powerful striker just eight minutes to get off the mark. Romario Campbell made it 2-0 with a sublime free kick from a foul Anderson earned on 31 minutes. Peter Keyes pulled a goal back for Boys' Town two minutes before the half. However, five minutes after the break the striker scored his second from close range, before Campbell made it 4-1 with an even better free kick after 68 minutes. Anderson, who also had two other goals ruled out, sealed the win with Water-house's fifth and his third 12 minutes from the end. The forward, who was still contracted in Central America this time last season, watched from the sidelines as Waterhouse fell to Montego Bay in the final. But the St James-born striker wants to make the difference this year and his form going into the play-offs gives him the confidence to lead the team to glory this season. "Due to the (CFU) Championship, a lot of people take their mind off Waterhouse, but our players are training to get the job done. Nothing frightens Waterhouse right now and we are in good shape and in good form ... and it was a good performance today (Sunday), scoring five goals," Anderson said.
