CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh continued their magnificent form on Tuesday with an 8-0 victory against SV Britannia of Aruba in their second Group D match of the Caribbean Club Championship at the Lionel Roberts Stadium, US Virgin Islands.
Pro League’s player of the month of November Jason Marcano starred on the night registering a goal on either side of the half to boost the ‘San Juan Kings’ goals record in the group stage of the Championship.
Striker Trent Noel opened the scoring against the SV Britannia in the 16th minute and two minutes later national midfielder Kerry Baptiste netted another.
With total control over the match Jabloteh continued scoring as midfielder Marcano registered his first in the 21st minute and Wendell Joseph making it four goals by the 35th minute.
Young sensation Lester Peltier cushioned off for Jabloteh in the 45th minute as they took to the half with a 5-0 advantage.
Marcano pierced Britannia’s defence for the second time and proved he was the man of the moment as he opened the scoring in the second period to get his double in the 51st minute.
Coach Terry Fenwick then decided to rest his star of the night Jason Marcano, replacing him with Michael Alexis who also got on the score sheet with his 74th minute strike as Jabloteh continued to entertain the Lionel Roberts Stadium crowd.
All was not over for the discouraged SV Britannia as they conceded their eighth goal in the 79th minute. Akiel Guevara who replaced Lester Peltier was the second substitute to score on the night as San Juan Jabloteh comfortably walked away with an 8-0 win.

Coach – Terry Fenwick: Satisfied Terry Fenwick, Coach of the Pro League club San Juan Jabloteh spoke with ‘ttproleague.com after the match and said, “We held ourselves very well and won comfortably by eight goals but this doesn’t mean that SV Britannia is not a good team. They played us an ok match but just wasn’t up to our standard. As for our team (San Juan Jabloteh), the guys had a wonderful night with a number of players getting on the score sheet which is good for the team.”
“Just as the match before against Sap FC we dominated the entire game and created quite a number of goal scoring chances which we converted. But apart from Marcano’s double and the rest of the goals, I have to say that Trent Noel’s goal was magnificent strike,” ended the jubilant Jabloteh coach.
