Baptiste's goal gives T&T 3-2 win over St Kitts.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).
Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior footballers were given a fair enough challenge on Sunday night in Basseterre as they pulled off a 3-2 victory over St Kitts/Nevis courtesy of a 72nd minute from Joe Public striker Kerry Baptiste.
The victory was the first for Russell Latapy since he took over the reign of the National Team but he would have preferred it to be a much easier one to attain and it should have been just that after the “Soca Warriors” surged to a 2-0 first half lead and should have been three up before half time had it not been for a missed penalty by Baptiste who was partnered up front by Devon Jorsling from the start.
Latapy felt good about the victory in the friendly international but added that the bigger focus remained on August 12 against El Salvador.
“It was a good exercise for us. We needed to play in a competitive environment and I needed to see what level a few of my players were on at the international stage. I was quite happy with some of the areas of play we had in the game but obviously there are some areas we need to improve on and we will work on rectifying this in the near future,” Latapy told TTFF Media.
“The focus remains on August 12 and I will now assess what happened here in tonight’s game and then we will continue to work ahead of the game against El Salvador. St Kitts did have a pretty decent run and I say congrats to them because it meant we didn’t have a stroll in the park today.
“We will now go back to the training ground and continue working hard and prepare ourselves to try and win on August 12,” Latapy added.
Playing on a hard surface at Warner Park, the visitors took early control of proceedings as the St Kitts team were more intent on trying to play the quick ball in and hope to get over the T&T back line which was marshaled by Radanfah Abu Bakr on the evening and well supported by Keyeno Thomas, Kern Cupid and Aklie Edwards. Captain Trent Noel led the team from the middle of the park alongside Ataullah Guerra, Hayden Tinto and Hughton Hector who made his senior international debut. Both Guerra and Abu Bakr also got their first senior international goals for T&T.
St Kitts actually had the two opening tries at goal but neither troubled goalkeeper Marvin Phillip while on the other end Tinto had an effort over bar from way out on the right and Guerra had a weak effort wide of the near post following a good penetrative run down the left channel.
St Kitts forward George Isaac was the familiar face to the T&T players having played in the T&T Pro League but despite a few quick surges and a busy-like appearance of the hosts they never had T&T under pressure.
The opening goal came in the 23rd minute when a right side corner by Baptiste fell perfectly for Abu Bakr to clinically side foot past goalie Akile Byron from just inside the six yard box. Then seven minutes later T&T doubled their advantage when a right side cross was partially cleared and Ataullah Guerra hit a one time right footed volley from just on the edge of the 18-yard box low into the net with Keyeno Thomas getting a faint touch on the ball as it made its way goalwards.
T&T were cruising at that stage but an all too familiar occurrence as they failed to finish off the opponents and subsequently allowed them back into the affair. And some doubtful calls by hometown referee James Manhew didn’t help T&T by any means.
It begun with Baptiste’s penalty which was pushed onto the crossbar by Byron moments before the break.
W Connection and St Kitts’ Gerard Williams was their most dangerous player on the evening and he had a one time effort which flashed past Phillip’s goal in the 45th.
St Kitts were not prepared to go down without a fight and pulled a goal back in the 48th minute when a ball was floated over from the left deep into the area and was nodded back in to the feet of Ian Lake and he wasted little time before slamming into the net from close range.
The equalizing goal had a better build up to it and Gerard Williams got behind of the T&T defence in the 62nd minute to pick up possession and turned well before firing low past Phillip from just atop the six yard. It sent the home fans wild and suddenly St Kitts were now hopeful of a victory on the evening.
But T&T kept its composure and didn’t go into a panic mode. Midfielder Clyde Leon was introduced along with Andre Toussaint while Latapy also made an appearance in the 74th minute, replacing Guerra.
The eventual winner came when Edwards made his way up the left, evading a couple challenges in the process before squaring for Baptiste to nail home from close up in the 72nd minute. The same Baptiste also missed a sitter after Toussaint, who initially decided against shooting from a point blank range, instead choosing to pass for his teammate who dragged his effort wide.
Overall, the encounter proved to be a good workout for the “Soca Warriors” but was certainly not one which should have required the extra work for the win.

poor game by the locals.

AGAIN...watch the Timing of the St. Kitts first goal...min 48.
Like we head does be up in we arse all the time or what?
ALways at the beginning of a half or the end of a half side does catch we sleeping.
Anyways on a positive note...our coach has notched his first win in charge.
Well done coach...on to a better and stronger friendly.

Maintaining concentration has been a problem of ours since strike squad days

why the hell latapy insist on playing i hope he don't sub him self in against el salvador

too much trinis on a team does always lead to this... any and everywhere in the world
true story
-
why the hell latapy insist on playing i hope he don't sub him self in against el salvador
probably to do some on-the-field coaching.
I doubt he'd sub himself in, in a competitive match. His comments would indicate that such is not a realistic, nor wise option....(knock on wood).

I doh think so. His comments indicate that he really dont want to play...but if he has to he will...(at least to me.) If it not going to happen in a competitive match den why bother doing it in a friendly match or one that is supposed to be preparation for a competitive match?

According to the commentators, which means nothing, since they got the name of the 3rd goal scorer wrong twice, there was
yellow card for Abu Bakr, 67'
a goal keeper substitution Williams in for Phillip around 70' right before the 3rd goal
yellow card for Guerra 73'
Latapy subbed in right after that 74' but don't know for who
They said Adams came on for Edwards in the 82'
There were other subs, but I missed them.

looked like latas came on to do some on the field coaching as someone previously suggested...Saw him definitely coaching Toussaint on the field in the highlights. This is something he would not be able to do in a real game. Sometimes the best way to correct players technical deficiencies is while it in display in a competitive situation. Training does not always bring players weaknesses to the forefront but real time game play does.

Well I am very surprise. Maybe Shaun should be working for the Punch instead.

St. Kitts falls in strong showing against Soca Warriors
By Ryan Haas (SKNVibes.com)
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts-THE St. Kitts-Nevis national football team stormed back into action Sunday night (July 12) as they were barely edged out in a very competitive match against Trinidad &Tobago’s Soca Warriors.
International football had largely fallen to the wayside in St. Kitts-Nevis due to the administrative impasse in the national association that took place during 2008-2009, with the last national level matches played taking place nearly a year ago at the Digicel Caribbean Cup.
Sunday night’s 3-2 loss to Soca Warriors thoroughly proved however, that the Sugar Boyz had not lost their fervor for the game during the extended vacation.
The match started off with Trinidad dominating the ball control through the first half. The first goal came at 21 minutes when the visitors’ Kerry Baptiste beautifully setup up a rocket inside the six-yard box for Radan Fah Abu Bakr.
Six minutes after the opening goal, Soca Warriors struck again when a long distance lob from Atulla Guerra was tipped in by Keyeno Thomas.
The prospects were beginning to look grim for St. Kitts-Nevis when Baptiste earned a penalty kick just before halftime. Thanks to an off-target shot from the Trinidadian and a fine piece of goal work by Akile Byron, however, the shot pinged loudly off the crossbar and St. Kitts received a much needed boost in morale.
The Sugar Boyz came out in fighting spirits in the second half, and in the 47th minute Ian ‘Rumpy’ Lake picked up a deep pass to slam in his team’s first goal of the game.
St. Kitts-Nevis trailed Trinidad & Tobago 2-1 for the next 15 minutes, but was able to successfully cut short several openings for the favoured squad.
In an unexpected burst of brilliance in the 62nd minute, Gerard Williams outpaced Trinidad’s defenders in the box before firing a low-flying shot to equalise the score.
Though the home crowd cheered loudly in support of St. Kitts- Nevis, Baptiste was eventually able to redeem himself from his missed penalty kick in the first half as he scored the game winning goal for his team in minute 71.
The Soca Warriors’ victory was an important first for new Head Coach Russell Latapy as he begins the final preparations for the team’s upcoming match against El Salvador in the final round the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier.
Though St. Kitts-Nevis lost the match, President of the St. Kitts-Nevis Football Association Anthony Johnson said it was a good return to international football for the team.
He added that the exciting matchup would no doubt further the buzz surrounding the National Super League Playoffs, which kickoff this Thursday (July 16) at Warner Park.

Breds yuh think yuh talking tuh man who does sit behind ah computer and type outa timin without knowledge or what??
imagine we gone tuh face the mighty mexico and we have tuh use kerry baptiste and devon jorsling, who, mind you, had zero impact on the game, it was like they weren't even there! what ah shameful thing.
was that even nessesary when we have scott sealy daryl roberts and kendell jagdeosingh who's playing more consistant better football in far better competitive leagues?
ah hope latas learn his lesson from that experience BC he did not cater for eventualities which "eventually happened!
scotty got injured, glenn suspended, stern injured, so he wound up with two rookies who couldn't help his cause, when he coulda bring out roberts and jaggy, men wid big league experience and who knows how tuh score under pressure.
yuh know why scotty and dem doh give ah damn about scoring ? BC they doh have competition for spots.
imagine yuh lose lawrence and avery, so yuh would think yuh have adequate back up on the left wing, (nope) so yuh have tuh use hislop ah slow center back tuh play the left wing when yuh have nigel daniels and pachecco who could play the position better.
then yuh bring in bakar tuh fiil in for lawrence when julius james willing and able, but for some strange reason yuh exclude him.
breds i saw enough of the two baptaste brothers under wim tuh know them fellas eh international material. and watching the highlites of that game just reiterated that notion for me.
did you not see the easy goals he missed under no pressure??!!
i've seen enough of that garbage over the yrs oui! now i want tuh see players with poised and quality, not this ssfl shyte! we dun have scotty and KJ filling that position. we have no more vacancies.
breds sorry tuh disappoint yuh , but there no way kerry baptiste @ 28, better than darrly and jaggy who have more quality, younger, smater, and are better finishers.
baptiste and jorsling can't even dun/outcalss st kitts, so how the hell they want tuh handle tougher opponents.

So you blaming the lack of impact in Mexico on KB as opposed to when he was introduced and how much touches he get? And you doh type outta timin ting yuh say :rotfl:
Darryl Roberts have some skills yes but doh feel because he shinin on ah shit side means he is we best option. I eh go argue against Jaggy because he does show he worth in training and with PRI. I eh see nutten from Jorsling to warrant his inclusion so no argument there either. Yuh bawlin fuh Nigel Daniels now too de same one who was sellin guns when PRI play Sancho an dem? and KB and Jorsling are rookies and yuh doh want dem buh yuh want Pacheco? Yuh eh making sense Dan, it becoming even more apparent dat yuh bias against certain man gettin de call because who u want to see eh gettin call. Duff wasn't bad so I have no issues with his inclusion, I would also like to see JJ but not at the expense of Duff. Yuh sayin yuh see enough Baptiste to know dem eh ready but that does not mean a player can't improve. rell man will tell yuh Skilla is a boss but he does look well ordinary when out of position. KB finally being used as a striker and he wreakin havok buh you vex cause Jaggy and Roberst eh geh call? Jedd yuh bias against de yut so doh expouse all dis kaka like yuh really sayin something when all yuh doin is tryin to masqurade yuh unnessary dislike fuh de yute!

Killa , you just showed me two things about you that's really negative, #one, it seemed that you just love tuh argue and yuh must always have the last say, so i will let yuh have the last word, but before i do, just allow me say this.
kery baptiste is an "ok" player, but by the looks of it he's definatly not international material, and he truly lacks quality as a forward. just go back and watch the game against st kitts and mexico.
#two, if you could say that by roberts playing on ah shyte side don't give him the right be on the squad and only BC of that, and not take into consideration the calibre of league he plays in, (which happens to be better than the USL ,) his stats and performance, then you don't know didley about the sport and yuh should STFU!
REMEMBER CARLOS , KJ AND YORKIE, all playing for ah so called shyte team, but every time it come tuh international team selection they're there, even though yorkie and birchall does practically make ah livin riding pine!
roberts was the 2nd highest scorer for his team this past season, and as a midfielder, he also had ah good goal tally the two seasons he spend in the ERIDIVISE which no other trini has been able to accomplish (playin in the eridivise).
but you just go right on ahead thinking baptiste is more derserving of ah call up than roberts, and that he could have ah more positive impact. ah wonder where baptiste was when we needed tuh beat bermuda by two clear goals boy?

OK ah admit ah like to pick apart man thoughts on message boards (hey ah lil mischievious dah way, small scenes)
Now understand this I not against Roberts in favor of KB. I am not willing to dismiss that KB is better than previous years now that he being used as a forward. Obviously Latas like something about him cause he keeping him around. I can't take away nothing from Roberts accomplishments as a player because (like you) I rate him as a very good player that also deserves inclusion in our set up. Your argument about KJ and Carlos holds no weight in a Roberts comparison as they play in 1 of the top 3 leagues in the world (#1 in some peoples eyes). In Azteka KB didn't get nearly enough time on the field and hardly saw the ball so I can't understand your insistance on using that appearance to measure his quality. Against SKN I eh see all de highlights so I cah really argue that either. The penalty that some man diss him for was a decent attempt the may have been somewhat telegraphed but I will credit the keeper with making a clutch save in that instance. Baptiste may need some improvement but he has the ability to score goals and is quick (similar to DR) so I rather have him than exclude him. To me I think we might have a hungrier team if it included all the players you mentioned before, but not at the expense of the younger players already being allowed to participate. I see no reason why Roberts, Jaggy, JJ, Duff, Aklie and KB can't all be part of the team. Let some of the veterans that are either not having impact or negatively impacting the team either rest or retire. I might catch some heat fuh it but time to retire either Tallest or Dog (we don't need 2 aging slow veterans) whichever one is kept should be used to mentor the likes of Duff, JJ, Hislop and even Aklie as they try to become better defenders. I feel Avery should be included and personally take Aklie under his wing as I believe he can learn to become a much better defender and in the near future have all the attribute of the modern day wing back.
BTW how de frig yuh was givin meh de lass wud when yuh decide to answa back? :devil:

I doh understand the whole Daryl Roberts phenomenon. He had one good shell cup...and it wasn't even good in comparison to what we strikers usually did in past years. What else he do for men to be rating him up so? Score in Holland and Turkey? More than half the men who backing him probably never even see him play for them sides.
Was he on that Gold Cup squad that Wim was in charge of where (imagine!)Spann and Theobald look a class apart and Toussaint look talented and that was about it?
I not bringing the man down, I just doh understand how he become an automatic starter jes so. As far as I know, Baptiste was more highly rated than Daryl Roberts during that same shell cup. (or was it Kerry Noray playing...)
All the same, yes he deserve a chance but stop acting like the man is this world beater

DR is a good player but I agree JC hypin' de man too much...
But that part about Spann looking a class apart in the Gold Cup is fuh real? Spann score a nice free kick and play level toots besides that...level sh*t... If he looked a class apart it hadda be on the opposite side of the spectrum...

Was he on that Gold Cup squad that Wim was in charge of where (imagine!)Spann and Theobald look a class apart and Toussaint look talented and that was about it?
I not bringing the man down, I just doh understand how he become an automatic starter jes so. As far as I know, Baptiste was more highly rated than Daryl Roberts during that same shell cup. (or was it Kerry Noray playing...)
All the same, yes he deserve a chance but stop acting like the man is this world beater
DR is a good player but I agree JC hypin' de man too much...
But that part about Spann looking a class apart in the Gold Cup is fuh real? Spann score a nice free kick and play level toots besides that...level sh*t... If he looked a class apart it hadda be on the opposite side of the spectrum...
I thought it was my memory dat was bad.

I never said the man was ah world beater, and i don't remember either saying the man is ah phenom or he deserve tuh start over all the strikers, but what i did say and expressed was the ineptitude of our coaches tuh exclude fellas who could make the team much better, darryl roberts in particular.
for the whole hex, we've not been able to produce ah single goal from the frontmen, so all i saying is give the yute ah chance to produce, who knows , maybe that's the change we need tuh put some spark in the offence. but instead, the bredder can't even get ah call up, and he's been playing regular and scoring goals.
i does hear man on here rating up birchall like if he's the 2nd coming, yeh the fella scored an all important goal tuh get us to the WC and he plays with heart and soul, but what else did he do that was so spectacular tuh have every body here messmarized! the fella can't make ah simple pass, let alone make ah 1st team tuh save his life
i remember darryl also scored an all important goal tuh keep us in the WCQ and he also plays with heart and soul. but unlike birchall, roberts plays on ah higher level, and scores far more goals as ah midfielder, plus he's ah regular starter, but i doh here no body here rating the yute up, but when i do it i making him out to be a phenom. ssttuueepppsss!
do you pay attention to the trini's in action thread? well the only fellas who i does see getting regular sweat is KJ scotty and roberts, every body does be either riding pine , getting ah cobo, or excluded from the roster all together.
if this man as you say lack the quality of ah spann, baptiste, or toussant, then why the hell he's been in two top leagues and them boy still playing in the PFL, and spann cyar get ah regular sweat for ah confederation (5th division team), but roberts running out regular for top flight teams.
T&T football is ah sespool of incompetance my friend, so don't make excuses for ineptitude, they missed out on ah good player just BC they don't rate the trukish league , which happens to be a better league than MLS, PFL and the championship, but little do they know.

Now watch the highlights, that was level toots and who ever say different eh serious. Never seen a sower thing in meh life like that. Dceision making poor, defending -poor (imagine on the first goal a 5 footer beater ah 7 footer for ah header and then 3 kittys standing free fighting to see which one will kick the ball in the goal.
What a joke.
