Jabloteh extends lead among PFL youths.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).
Qian Grovesnor fired in a hat-trick as CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh’s Under-16 footballers won for the first time from three matches in the T&T Professional Football League’s Under-16 Division.
Grovesnor, a member of the national Under-17 team, got the goals in his team’s 5-0 blow-out of VIBE CT 105 W Connection in a top-of-the table match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo on Tuesday.
Khaleem Highland, also a national youth player, and team captain Anthony Guppy scored one each.
The win improved Jabloteh’s point tally to 22 from nine matches — four more than W Connection.
Chad De Freitas banged home three goals in leading Tobago United to a 5-1 victory over National Quarries North-East Stars at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar, Arima.
Allan Joseph and Quinton Williams were the other scorers for the Tobagonians, who are third with 17 points. Fourth-placed Defence Force — another point behind — got goals from Sherron Joseph, Martin Mohammed, Andrew Revanales and Kevon Dove in a 4-0 triumph over United Petrotrin at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella.
In the Under-18 Division, Jabloteh had to work quite hard to take full points from W Connection with a 2-1 win to move to a total of 22 points.
Jonathan Romain and national Under-17 striker Lester Peltier scored for Jabloteh while Kendall Penny got W Connection’s goal.
Tobago (20 points) moved above W Connection (19 points) into second place by humiliating North-East Stars 11-3, while Defence Force edged United Petrotrin 2-1.
