Grassfield Community captain Sallieu Tarawalie scored a hat-trick to lead his side to a 5-1 demolition of Newcastle Community in their second Group B fixture of the 2026 1xBet ASSPA Inter-Community League.

Tarawalie, popularly known as “Capay Sallieu,” delivered a clinical performance that earned him the Man of the Match award as Grassfield dominated from start to finish at the Approved School Playing Field. The captain’s three-goal haul takes his tournament tally to four, making him the current leading scorer and the first player to register a hat-trick in the 2026 edition.

The prolific forward’s latest achievement further cements his status as one of the league’s most influential players. Over the past two editions, Tarawalie has led Grassfield to back-to-back ASSPA Inter-Community League Grand Final appearances while claiming the Best Player of the Tournament award in consecutive seasons.

Grassfield’s victory follows their opening Group B fixture, a 1-1 draw against Waterloo Community on 20 July 2026, where Tarawalie scored the equaliser in the 69th minute. The win puts Grassfield in a strong position to advance from the group stage as they pursue this year’s title.
