Jabloteh’s Peltier nets a double for ‘Young Soca Warriors’
By: Randy Bando (ttproleague).[/size]
CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh rising star Lester Peltier scored two first half goals to lead Trinidad and Tobago under-20 team to a 4-0 victory over Barbados under-20 at the Hasley Crawford Stadium, P.O.S. on Wednesday.
Trinidad and Tobago coach and former strike squad member Brian Williams needed not to worry as he started with a star studded team including eight Pro League players.
The ‘Young Warriors’ had Barbados chasing the game from the first whistle with Vibe CT 105 W Connection’s Matthew Bartholomew and Jabloteh’s Lester Peltier pairing off well in front.
Peltier had a couple of early attempts that went narrowly wide before the 28th minute when Matthew Bartholomew raced down the right flank past Barbados’ Jason Mounter and sent a low cross in the 18 yard area. The speedy player Peltier did well to get to the ball first and slammed it into the roof of the net giving Trinidad and Tobago a 1-0 lead.
Peltier continued his quest for more goals and came close in the 33rd minute when he scrambled across to meet a Dion Peters cross just to the left of the 6 yard box, only to knock it directly into the hands of Barbados goal keeper Omari Eastmond.
Connection’s Bartholomew went for goal a minute later, but his low shot slipped through the hands of goal keeper Eastmond and Jabloteh’s star of the moment Peltier was on hand for an easy tap in, the young T&T team leading 2-0.
One of the ‘Bajans’ rare attacks came in the 38th minute when Lionel Paul facing the ‘Warriors’ net, skied Jason Goodridge’s well worked cross over the bar.
Jabloteh’s Peltier then showed off his pace and dribbling skills when he burst down the left flank past Paul Alexander and sent a cross into the penalty area when Connection’s Bartholomew only met the ball with his hand – referee Lee Davis took no time in awarding him a yellow card just before the interval.
Trinidad and Tobago came out in same attacking style and in the second half, in minute 49 W Connection’s Devon Drayton rose well to meet Petrotrin’s Keon Daniel cross only to glance it wide of goal keeper Eastman’s upright.
The ‘Bajans’ looking a bit more competitive in the second half with players like Jamal Watson and Malcom Marshall worked numerous passes in midfield.
In the 60th minute Jason Goodridge showed a lot of pace and outran the ‘Warriors’ defence to get a shot on goal but substitute goal keeper Adrian Foncette did to get down on his knees for the save.
In the 70th minute Trinidad and Tobago looked destined for another goal when Lester Peltier crossed to Bartholomew and the hard working captain failed to put his header on target after a great build-up from midfield. Peltier was then rested and San Juan Jabloteh’s Elton John made his entrance in the 70th minute.
The young ‘Soca Warriors’ added a third goal in the 79th minute when W Connection’s Aaron Downing sprung into the air to volley a cross by Superstar Rangers’ Christon Thomas who came on as a half time substitute.
In the 80th minute coach Brian Williams decided to rest captain Matthew Bartholomew and replaced him with Hans Pierre.
Trinidad and Tobago wrapped things up in the 89th minute when Aaron Downing and Christon Thomas connected a couple of passes and passing to substitute Attulah Guerra who easily beat one defender and went around goal keeper Kareem Farrel and started celebrating while walking the ball into the net—the final score of 4-0.
The ‘Bajans’ then had a consolation chance in the 90th minute when a host of players tried to get a shot on goal from Trinidad and Tobago’s penalty area but failed after goalkeeper Foncette spilled substitute Michael Young’s late shot.

U20S BETTER BY FOUR
By Shaun Fuentes.
Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 footballers warmed up for the upcoming Caribbean Football Union U20 qualifiers with a convincing 4-0 win over Barbados at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Wednesday.
Despite the win, the young footballers, under coach Brian Williams would have been keen to follow on their senior countrymen in the second game against Panama, hoping to pick up on one or two things as they seek to improve their game in coming weeks.
With W Connection’s Aaron Downing skippering the team, the starting eleven looked a confident bunch and never looked troubled by the visiting Bajans. Lester Peltier had a couple early looks at the opposition goal while Downing and Connection’s Matthew Barthlomew combined well time and again.
The opener came on 28 minutes when the latter sped down the left and played inside for Peltier to perfectly connect, sending the ball into the roof of the net for a 1-0 advantage.
It was 2-0 in the 34th when goalie Omari Eastmond failed to take Bartholomew’s shot cleanly and Peltier was there to punish him from close up.
Seven minutes from the break, Barbados’ Lionel Paul had a rare attempt, hitting wildly over bar.
T&T continued to pile the pressure on, showing good understanding and willingness to go forward. Their defense though couldn’t be judged as such as they had things easier than will be anticipated against the CONCACAF threats.
Jason Goodridge tested sub-goalie Adrian Foncette in the 60th minute but it wasn’t too long before T&T cushioned their lead.
Downing positioned himself well to connect to Christon Thomas’ cross, volleying home in the process for a 3-0 lead on 79 minutes.
A minute from time, Thomas and Downing combined inside the box before substitute Atullah Guerra finished it off with a strike from close up. (October 12, 2006)
