Missed chances was the song that was sung after the top of the table clash between San Juan Jabloteh and Joe Public ended in a goalless draw at the Larry Gomes Stadium on Saturday night.
Both teams going into the match on 15 points each—and at the end of 90 minutes the scenario remains the same, both teams now on 16 points, with Joe Public having a slightly better goal difference.
Any of the teams could have taken the match, with the best chance falling to Joe Public’s Gary Glasgow when he was put through one on one with the goal keeper—but his shot went straight to Daurance Williams in goal for Jabloteh.

Its was against the run of play—that Nigel Hart struck giving Starworld their 2nd victory this season—once again Caledonia only have themselves to blame as they squandered a number of chances.

Local striker Andre Toussaint struck a hattrick, with Earl Jean and Andrei Pacheco getting the other items on the night—Connection still remains in 4th place nudging up to 13 points.
