Congrats to Jaleel and the PFL I agree that the PFL should try and get all kinds of business to support. After all is TT football that will benefit and they(business) will reap rewARDs. 

The next goal for the TTFF is to work on a program to encourage young East Indian boys and GIRLS to continue to play football. We need to increase our talent pool.

By the way, I don think Indians are minotites in TT, yuh know.

Oasis continues support for Youth Pro League.
T&T Guardian Reports.


The 2011 Oasis Youth Pro League was officially launched on Friday afternoon at the VIP Lounge, Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo with main sponsor Oasis Water committing to the second season of a three-year promise with a cheque for $50,000.

“I must admit that SM Jaleel & Company Ltd is starting to see just after one year the benefits of our three year $150,000 partnership with the T&T Pro League,” said Tony Ali, General Manager of SM Jaleel and Company Ltd, the parent company of Oasis Water.

Ali added, “The mere fact that we are here again for another launch was testimony that the T&T Pro League is serious about the development of youth professional football and SM Jaleel is proud to be part of that development.”

The 2011 season kicked off last April 3 with matches in the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 Divisions and will continue today with round two matches.

During his brief address, T&T Pro League Chief Executive Officer, Dexter Skeene said he anticipates a very exciting menu of youth football this season.

“On behalf of the TT Pro League I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Oasis for their commitment to the youth of the nation—for their contribution to the Oasis Youth League,” continued Skeene.

Skeene revealed that matches will be aired live and delayed via WI Sports on Flow Channel 14—the TT Pro League’s official broadcast partner also revealed during Friday’s launch.

The TT Pro League CEO also urged youth players to drive the visibility of the League through the League’s website ttproleague.com and social media such as facebook and twitter which are linked to the League’s website.

“We pride ourselves in sponsoring arrangements such as the Youth Pro League, as we recognise the importance of encouraging and engaging young athletes in activities while providing a foundation for their development,” said Ali.

San Juan Jabloteh and W Connection made easy their opponents on Sunday 01 March in the 2011 Oasis Youth Pro League which resumed following the Easter Break with Round One Match Day Four action in the U13, U15 and U17 Divisions.

Jabloteh hosted Police FC at the San Juan Secondary School Ground and enjoyed a 5-0 win in the U13 Division with a first half hattrick by Anthony Samuel and an item each by Shemar De Gannes and Rahim Gordon, however despite the healthy win sits fifth on the standings behind leaders W Connection, second positioned St. Ann’s Rangers, Joe Public in third and Defence Force in fourth.

Connection picked up from where they left off in Match Day Three whipping Ma Pau SC 2-0 in the U13s with a double by Isaiah Hudson who scored on either side of the half to lead the standings with maximum 12 points.

Connection also leads the U15 standings with maximum 12 points following Sunday’s 2-1 win over Ma Pau playing at Gilbert Park in Couva.

Yafeu Rougier scored both items for Connection netting on either side of the half while Jonathan Uddenberg pulled back a goal for Ma Pau.

Unstoppable Joe Public extends lead in U17.
ttproleague.com.


Shaquille Bertrand scored a second half double on Sunday at the Marvin Lee Stadium to help U-17 leaders Joe Public shrug off W Connection 4-3 and maintain the Macoya based club’s position at the top of the table following Round One Match Day Six matches in the 2011 Oasis Youth Pro League.

Bertrand first leveled the scores 3-3 in the 61st minute followed by the winner in the 81st minute to extend Joe Public’s winning run to six from six matches.

This after Marcus Gomez (2nd minute) and Dwight Quintero (4th minute) early goals for the Lions were erased by Connection’s Rondell Phillip (21st minute) and Neil Benjamin Jr. (50th minute).

Kareem Garcia then gave the visitors a 3-2 lead in the 55th minute; however victory was snatched by Bertrand’s second half double.

Joe Public (18 points) at the top of the standings, now enjoys a six point gap, trailed by Adam’s Construction San Juan Jabloteh (12 points) in second and Connection (12 points) in third.

Other U-17 matches saw Jabloteh enjoy a 3-1 win over North East Stars, fourth positioned St. Ann’s Rangers whip Police FC 4-0, fifth positioned T&TEC overpower Ma Pau SC 8-3 and seventh positioned Caledonia defeat FC SouthEnd 3-0.

Meantime in the U-13 and U-15 Divisions, W Connection continued its dominance to keep grip on the respective top spots with maximum 18 points.

Connection enjoyed the edge against Joe Public 6-5 in an eleven goal U13 thriller and in the U-15s, outstanding Yafeu Rougier netted a hattrick (19th, 67th and 83rd minutes) and Mark Phillip (25th minute) to give the visitors a 4-0 victory.

Joe Public stay unbeaten.
T&T Newsday Reports.


SHAQUILLE BERTRAND netted a second-half double as Joe Public edged W Connection 4-3, in a see-saw Under-17 affair, in Round One Match Day Six of the Oasis Youth Pro League last Sunday.

The victory was Joe Public’s sixth straight win, as they maintained their 100-percent record, with San Juan Jabloteh and Connection both six points adrift.

Marcus Gomez (second minute) and Dwight Quintero (fourth) gave the league leaders a two-goal edge before Connection stormed back with strikes from Rondell Phillip (21st), Neil Benjamin (50th) and Kareem Garcia (55th).

But there was another decisive twist to this game, this time in Joe Public’s favour, as Bertrand was on hand to score twice, in the 62nd and 81st, to extend his team’s unbeaten run.

Jabloteh cruised past North East Stars 3-1 with Shaquille Holder (35th), Kevin Lewis (58th) and Akeem Garcia (60th) finding the back of the net for Jabloteh, while Mickel Williams pulled back a late consolation for North East, in the 82nd.

St Ann’s Rangers trounced Police 4-0, with an own goal (49th), a pair from Dylon King (70th and 79th) and Jamal Williams (85th) doing the damage.

Caledonia AIA whipped cellar-placed FC South End 3-0, courtesy Dereck Joseph (16th), Andell Andrews (57th) and Lester Matthews (87th) but the most lopsided result was earned by TTEC, who crushed Ma Pau 8-3.

Shackeil Henry notched a hat-trick (15th, 42nd and 46th), while Akeem Julien (21st and 57th) and Lashawn Marcano (44th and 72nd) each netted a pair. Paul Jones (82nd) got the other item for TTEC, while Trevin Latapy (ninth), Myles Yorke (79th) and Kwesi Allen (84th) replied for Ma Pau, who lost their sixth in a row.

Jabloteh halts Joe Public; Connection bags 22 against Defence Force.
ttproleague.com


An early strike by Adam Construction San Juan Jabloteh’s Shaquille Holder in the 12th minute stood the match winner against U-17 leaders Joe Public 1-0 on Sunday afternoon in their Oasis Youth Pro League Round Two Match Day One clash at the San Juan Secondary Ground.

Jabloteh, now with 28 points and maintaining second position, closed in on Joe Public’s 33 points at the top but had much more to celebrate as the victory ended the Macoya based Lions perfect run of form this season.

Prior to Sunday’s Round Two Match Day One clash, Joe Public enjoyed an eleven match winning/perfect run.

Jabloteh also defeated Joe Public 1-0 in the U-13 division and slammed a 9-0 victory in the U-15 division earlier in the day.

Leading goalscorer Yafeu Rougier took his tally to 22 goals netting a hattrick on Sunday with goals in the 21st, 41st and 59th minutes.

W Connection takes 2011 Oasis Youth League U13 title
ttproleague.com


W Connection can celebrate the 2011 Oasis Youth Pro League U13 title following Sunday’s 2-0 win against visitors St. Ann’s Rangers at the Gilbert Park Ground, leaving Joe Public and San Juan Jabloteh in the tussle for second.

However the Couva based club needs just one point from three remaining matches to convince second positioned Joe Public with four matches remaining.

The Connection U13s started the season on top and never looked back.

The Leonson Lewis coached side currently enjoys a 12 points gap at the top with 49 points and a 65 goal difference followed by Public with 37 points and a 38 goal difference.

Public would think that they still have a mathematical chance of tying up the points however the massive goals difference looks unachievable.

Meantime second half goals by Isaiah Hudson (47th minute) and Bradlee Lee Foon (49th minute) seems to have done the trick for Connection in the U13 title glory.

Connection also looks strong for the U15 title with 48 points at the top, eight points ahead of second positioned Adam’s Construction San Juan Jabloteh(40 points) which dropped points in their last few games—most recently Sunday’s goalless draw against T&TEC FC.

Mark Phillip, Nicholas Dillon and Yafeu Rougier were the goalscorers for the Connection U15s in a 3-2 win over Rangers, while Lenard Archer and Marquise Hoyte were the Rangers scorers.

And in the U17 division, Joe Public inactive on Sunday enjoys a seven point gap on the pack with 45 points. Jabloteh with 38 points sits second and Connection with a chance for second in third with 36 points.

U17 results saw Jabloteh enjoy a 2-0 win over T&TEC, Connection enjoy a slim 1-0 win over Rangers, FC SouthEnd whip Ma Pau SC 3-0, Caledonia defeat Police 3-0 and Defence Force held to a 2-2 draw against North East Stars.

Joe Public cops Oasis U-17 crown.
By: Nigel Simon (Guardian).


Dwight Quintero and Leon Gill scored a pair of goals each to lead bmobile Joe Public to a 6-3 thrashing of DirecTV North East Stars and with it the Oasis Youth Pro League Under-17 Division title on Thursday.

Quintero got his goals in the 29th and 72nd minutes while Gill netted his brace for Joe Public in the 70th and 85th minute at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya.

Marcus Gomez had opened the scoring for Joe Public in the 15th, while Shaquille Betrand added the other in the 54th minute.

For Stars, which trailed 2-1 at the half, Shayden Charles (37th), Jameel Sempel (69th) and Stephon David Jr (75th), got a goal each.

With the win, Joe Public pushed its points tally to an unassailable 51 from 18 matches, ten ahead of second placed Adam’s Construction San Juan Jabloteh, which can only reach 50 points should it win its three remaining matches.

Also on Thursday, W Connection Under-15 players joined their Under-13 clubmates in winners row as they edged T&TEC 2-1 to lift their age-group title.

Aswad Pilgrim fired the “Savonetta Boys” ahead after only five minutes before Jabari Mitchell made it 2-0 seven minutes into the second-half.

With ten minutes left in the match, Brendon Creed pulled a goal back for T&TEC, however, W Connection held on for the win to improve to 54 points from 19 matches, 11 more than Jabloteh which can only attain 52 points.

On Tuesday, W Connection won the Under-13 title and Thursday it added to its points total with a 6-0 blow-out of T&TEC led by a hat-trick from Jarod Gordon.

Oasis youth league kick off Sunday.
By Andrew Gioannetti (Guardian).


The 2012 Oasis T&T Youth Pro League will kick off on Sunday with matches being contested in all three divisions, the under-14, under-16 and the under-18.

Champions W Connection, who won both the under-13 (now under-14) and under-15 (now under-16) divisions last season, will be looking to retain their league titles outright, while the under-18 (formerly under-17) division will see a new champion, with the absence of 2011 league winners Joe Public FC, who, as in the case with the senior outfit, will sit out proceedings for the 2012 season.

The clubs, all of which also compete in the senior Digicel TT Pro League are as follows: W Connection, San Juan Jabloteh, Police FC, St Ann’s Rangers, North East Stars, Defence Force, T&TEC and Caledonia AIA.
 
The Youth Pro League, the highest level of competitive football in T&T for players under the age of 18, was described by Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene as the “lifeblood of your clubs,” when the official launch of the 2012 season was held at the VIP Lounge at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Wrightson Road, yesterday. “It is the breeding ground for our senior national footballers.

Some of those have been nurtured, shaped, and sharpened, while representing the various clubs, in the bowels of the Oasis Youth League and have gone on to represent (the) country at the various levels,” said Skeene. He identified Sheldon Bateau, Devorn Jorsling, Leston Paul, Daneil Cyrus, Andrei Pacheco and Shahdon Winchester as some of the notable players, who went on to represent T&T as a product of the Youth League.

For the third consecutive season Oasis—a bottled water product of SM Jaleel & Co Ltd—has pumped $50,000 into the league’s administration, in addition to its contribution of bottled water to the eight clubs, on their match days.

Thunderous start by Connection in Oasis Youth League.
ttproleague.com.


W Connection Football Club enjoyed a perfect start to the 2011-12 season Oasis Youth League on Sunday by defeating rival club San Juan Jabloteh in the U14, U16 and U18 divisions at Gilbert Park in Couva.

Connection, last season’s U13 and U15 champions, started the day by completing a 4-2 win in the U14 division with Terrell Williams netting twice (35th and 51st minute) and Isaiah Hudson (8th minute) and Kareem Riley (12th minute) notching one goal each, while Anthony Samuel (18th minute) and Yevan Rajpaul (20th minute) got the goals for Jabloteh.

Connection playing at home, followed up with a 4-1 win in the U16s and 2-0 in the U18s to enjoy a perfect Round One Match Day One.

Nicholas Dillon (4th and 35th minutes) and Yaefu Rougier (15th and 51st minute) both scored twice for Connection in the U16 division and Kadeem Corbin (40th minute) got the lone item for Jabloteh.

And in the U18s Emmanuel Francis (38th minute) and Rondell Phillip (76th minute) were the goal scorers to complete Connection’s excellent youth run.

St. Ann’s Rangers also recorded wins on Sunday, but by default against T&TEC FC in all three divisions.

Defence Force hosted North East Stars at the Haig Street Recreation Ground in Carenage and after enjoying a 2-1 win in the U14 division, the home side slumped to a 1-5 and 0-2 defeats in the U16 and U18 divisions.

Tajé Comminsiong (14th minute), Kyle O’Garro (19th minute), De-Shon Daniel (65th minute), Jamal Lawrence (69th minute) and Kriston Baird (80th minute) all got their names on the scoresheet for North East Stars in the U16 division, and in the U18s Aaqil Campbell and Shaquille Bertrand got the goals for the Sangre Grande club.

Police youths whip Defence Force 4-0.
T&T Express Reports.


Police FC overpowered Defence Force in both the under-14 and under-16 divisions of the 2012 Oasis Youth League with convincing 4-0 and 6-0 victories on match day two of round one last week Sunday.

Without its own youth arm, Police FC have adopted the Dion La Foucade Academy for their youth competitions

Following up on a 2-2 draw in the opening round, Police U-14s easily got past Defence Force. Antonio De Matas (9th minute) and Nicholas Emmanuel (25th) gave them a 2-0 lead before Tereque Healey (37th and 48th) netted on either side of half-time to complete the rout.

And in the under-16 division, Brent Sam (11th and 52nd) scored twice while Joshua Salandy (12th), Andrew Macedo (38th), Carlton Alfonso (65th) and Brandon Lalchan (66th) each notched an item for Police FC.

But in the U-18 division, Defence Force avoided a Police hat-trick by registering a 4-1 victory.

Charles Hadden (39th minute), Tariq Rochford (43rd), Renard Celestine (47th) and Denzel Woods (70th) all found the back of the net, while Police FC's Jabari Thomas netted their lone item in the 65th minute.

W Connection hits Police for 17.
T&T Guardian Reports.


Last year’s champion team in the Under-13 and U-15 divisions, W Connection, continued its fine form in the OASIS Youth Pro League with three straight victories against Police, in Round One Match Day Four action, at St Joseph Convent Ground, Federation Park, on Sunday.

A total of 17 goals were scored by the Savonnetta Boys, with only one conceded as the talented youngsters won their matches 7-0 in the U-18, 6-0 in the U-16 and 4-1 in the U-14 divisions.

In the U-18 division, Akeem Roach bagged a quick first half hat-trick, before Neil Benjamin (61st and 65th) scored a second half double and efforts from Akeem Humphrey and Jaffett Williams rounding off the scoring for a dominant W Connection team, which won all of its four matches, in a perfect start to the season.

W Connection remained within a point of leaders St Ann’s Rangers in the U-16 division with a similarly dominating 6-0 win over Police in the second match.

Only one goal was scored in the first half that by Yafeu, before Martieon Watson (51st), a double by Jabari Mitchell (65th and 72nd) and late goals from Levon Dass (80th) and Raphael Chichester (80th+1), completed the rout in the second period.

Point Fortin Civic ready to tackle Youth Pro League.
ttproleague.com.


The Youth Pro League has a new challenger this season, in southerners Point Fortin Civic, when the 2014 YPL kicks off on Sunday at four venues across Trinidad.

TT Pro League debutants Point Fortin Civic have done remarkably well at the professional division, sitting third on the Digicel Pro League standings after two rounds, and on Sunday the southerners will field youth teams in the Under 14, under 16 and Under 18/Reserve divisions.

Point Fortin Civic will host last season’s Under 13 winners North East Stars at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin beginning with the Under 14s from 10 am, the Under 16s from 2 pm, and the Under 18/Reserve from 4 pm.

“We are starting on Sunday and we will be ready,” said PFC Technical Director and former Trinidad and Tobago standout Steve David.

“The guys look really good. They are ready to play and are all pretty excited,” added the 62-year-old.

“But we don’t know what to expect. Until we get a feel of the (Youth) league and know it’s like, only then I’d have an idea on how well we would do.”

Also on Sunday, last season’s Under 15 and Under 17 winners St. Ann’s Rangers will host San Juan Jabloteh in the Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18/Reserve levels at Trinity College ground in Moka. Last season Jabloteh represented Defence Force at all youth levels, finishing runners-up in the Under 13 and Under 17s and third in the Under 15s, which forecasts mouth-watering day of youth football clashes at the Moka venue.

Police and W Connection will do battle at all divisions at the St. James Barracks ground, while Caledonia will tackle Central FC in the Under 16 and Under 18/Reserve divisions at the Valtrin Recreation Ground in Valsayn.

Long story! We do have a U14 side but they won't be playing this weekend. Still not sure if U16's & 18's will play either. We agreed to move the Pro League game to Sunday to accomodate Army, but explained we couldn't play the youth team games. We have such a small staff that some of them cover both senior and youth, so they couldn't be in two places at once. Once the youth games couldn't be changed, we then said we couldn't agree to move the Pro League game, but apparently, it wasn't a request, but a demand!

We're still in negotiations about the games.

We're vexed because we tried to co operate, but now we are being disadvantaged. We really wanted to assist Army, given the circumstances, but it's not right that we should lose out, especially as Army youth have a bye so they're not affected.

Former W Connection Senior Team players Jose Luiz Seabra (Coach) & Clyde Leon (Assistant Coach)
Rougier is a striker.

seem like  clyde leon done playing ? i see him as under 18 coach

Clyde is under doctor's orders not to play for now so he is being utilised  as an assistant coach at this time.

Any video clips?

As far as I am aware W Connection videotapes all their games Senior, Youth & training games, so I will try to source some highlights.

As mentioned before, we do not have any equipment other than a flip camera. Videos of most matches would be too distant for promotional usage. Obviously, if we were receiving the same TT$80,000 + p.m. as the other clubs, we could invest in equipment. I believe we also have the smallest club staff in the League as well!

Only US$200? And the editing suite? And someone to film it? And someone to edit it?  :devil:
It takes me 3-4 hours to make the short videos that we put out. Imagine editing from four 90 minute games! We recognise the value of these kind of videos, but it's just not possible at the moment. Fortunately, we can talk to clubs and colleges who will accept our personal recommendations, so it's not a major issue at Central at the moment.

W Connection’s Herbert nets handful in Youth Pro League.
ttproleague.com.


W Connection got off to a perfect start on Sunday, when the 2014 Youth Pro League season kicked off, with wins at every division.
 
Connection opened with an incredible 9-0 win over Police at the Under 14’s division with a pair of goals each by Nikel Rawlins (16th and 33nd minutes), Jarelle Steadman (17th and 34th minutes) and Jevaughn Humphrey (40th and 41st minutes), while Kyjuan Sampson(23rd minute), Deneilson Benjamin (44th minute) and Christian Rasome (55th minute) picked up an item each for the Leonson Lewis coached-youngsters.

But at the Under 16 division – coached another former Trinidad and Tobago international, Brian Williams – forward Anthony Herbert was the star of the day netting an impressive five goals (5th, 24th, 32nd, 40th and 55th minutes) while teammate Isaiah Hudson grabbed a double (53rd and 46th minute) in Connection’s 7-0 hammering of Police FC at the St. James Barracks ground.

Then at the Under 18’s/Reserve division, coached by former Connection star players Jose Luis Seabra and Clyde Leon, the Couva based-club wrapped up their trip to north Trinidad with a 3-2 win, which they had to hold on for, following two late goals by Police.

Martieon Watson opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 21st minute, and senior team player Mikaeel Jem Gordon doubled the advantage by the 37th minute, before Yafeu Rougier made it 3-0 a minute inside the second period.

Police stormed back with goals by Andell Andrews and senior team player Christon Thomas in the 77th and 82nd minutes respectively, but were short of the equalizer.

Connection now leads the U-14 and U-16 standings after Round One Match Day One, while rivals San Juan Jabloteh stands at the top of the U-18/Reserve table.

Jabloteh finished 5-2 winners over home-side St. Ann’s Rangers at Trinity College ground in Moka, in a contest inclusive of three penalties and an own goal.

Much earlier in the day, Jabloteh hammered the St. Ann’s club 8-0 in the U13 division, but slipped to a 2-1 defeat in the U-16 division.

Caledonia AIA also got off to a good start with 3-0 and 2-1 wins over Central FC in the U-16 and U-18/Reserve divisions, and won by default in the U-13.

While down at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin, home-side and debutants Point Fortin Civic were undefeated against North East Stars.

Civic finished 1-1 at both the U13 and U18/Reserve divisions and edged the Sangre Grande club 3-2 at the U16 level.

Football Supporter I have noticed for the longest while that ever so often you mention about not receiving a subvention from the Government especially when you are challenged about a short coming. Here you go again about a camera, now I can't talk for other clubs but W Connection from inception of the Pro League in 1999 have been video taping all their games, Senior, Youth, Training games, Local, Regional & International. The subvention came into being 4-5 years ago, Connection is celebrating 15 years of existence. Connection puts a lot of emphasis on it's youth programme & they are treated the same as the Seniors hence why in your own words about these video clips being a great marketing tool they are being put out on you tube etc. 
As far as I am aware one of the criterion for entering the League was that you had to have a functioning youth program with a separate staff so you went into this with your eyes wide open so I suggest you just suck it in & get on with the job.
By the way seeing you have been doing so well in the League I would have thought that your sponsor SIS would be more than happy to increase whatever they are currently giving to you considering the fact that they seem to be recipients of so many multi billion dollar contracts......come on mate go look for a bigger share of the pie ;)

Soccerama, one of the biggest reasons that the Pro League has stuttered along since 1999 is that too many owners in the past look after themselves first, and the league second. That makes absolutely no sense. Without a strong league, you get weak teams. No club, in my opinion, should receive a subvention. The PRO LEAGUE should receive that money and distribute it fairly where needed.

Why should we "just suck it in & get on with the job."? This is a fact. We have no millionaire owner, so we have to go a find genuine sponsors and deliver on our promises. We will continue to complain about the lack of subvention until this is corrected. We are about improving the league, improving the managing of the league and building the brand. I know that some clubs have tried in the past and failed, but it's in everyone's interests to develop. W.Connection have a great history of winning cups and trophies, but still get less than 50 supporters to games. Historically, Joe Public and Jabloteh had the same issue. We will continue to forge relations with overseas clubs in order to build our brand and create avenues for players to move overseas.

While Connection spend time and money videoing their players, they could have been integrating into their community. All of this govt funding and what do clubs give back? Zilch. We actually have other clubs sponsors approaching us to do community projects. How embarrassing is that?

Meanwhile, of the hundreds of players passing through the club and being videoed, how many have achieved successful careers overseas? Yes, KJ made it in UK, but he was partly developed at Jabloteh, who first sent him on trial to the UK. Videos are nice, but overseas clubs are inundated with videos of the next star player. Without the support of a reference from a credible source, the best you can hope for is a speculative trial.

We may not have the right ideas, but I can see no sense in continuing in the same vein that clubs have done for the last 15 years.

Regarding S.I.S., of course, we'd love them to increase their sponsorship, but that's their decision not ours!

A.S., I think I made it clear that I felt that videos are a good marketing tool? I also said that we would like to do this as well. Whether it takes priority over other areas is maybe where we differ. At this point, given our current budget, we prioritise the promotion of the club as a brand rather than individuals within the club. The marketing of our players is carried out in an entirely different manner. Aside from scholarships, we haven't moved any players yet, but I expect this to change shortly.

Soccerama, I only have true feelings, so they are always revealed. Openness and honesty may get you criticised, but that's preferable to being deceitful, so I'll continue with my true feelings :devil:

But you make it sound as if I'm targeting W. You made your points from W's perspective and used them as a model, so I replied in that manner. I have no major gripes with W.Connection, no more than I have with other clubs.

For example, I don't like the numbers of foreign players on their books and I have the same issue with Caledonia.

I do feel that Connection are disappointing in that they could achieve so much more in their community, but I feel the same about Jabloteh, North East, Caledonia, Point Fortin.

And I'm damned sure that the other clubs, including Connection, don't think Central are perfect either!! 

Out of all of the clubs, I find the staff of W.Connection to be the most sociable and I always enjoy being around them.

Football Supporter I have no beef with you & unlike many persons I respect everyone. You went out on a tangent about Connection not doing anything in their community & the money spent on video taping should have been used for integration etc, but what do you know about Connection, is it because they do not publicise what they do that you can automatically deduce that they do nothing. Anyway as part of their 15 year Anniversary celebrations all will be revealed and you will be very surprised...trust me.

Matthew 6:1-2
 1 'Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.'


The above epitomises Connection because as far as I am aware the heirachy of Connection are practicing Roman Catholics so they do what they have do quietly without fanfare and the persons benefiting accept humbly.

I am not about to get into any bible warfare, because everyone has their own interpretations and will use scripture to prove their point & this is what I did likewise Football Supporter can use your quotes to justify his point & I have no qualms with that, I will continue to respect him, after all "to each his own".

We can all see & hear the same thing & then all have different interpretations or perspectives so arguing the bible is moot.

"The above epitomises Connection because as far as I am aware the heirachy of Connection are practicing Roman Catholics so they do what they have do quietly without fanfare and the persons benefiting accept humbly."

This is very laudable and I thoroughly agree with this position from a private individual. But from a marketing/promotional perspective, it is very worrying. With a league desperate to hold on to its existing sponsors and endlessly searching for new ones, each club should recognise their responsibilities to support the league. Programmes like the Digicel HOPE project and the attractions for sponsors. While hiding your light under a bushel is morally acceptable from an individual, it does nothing to project the club or the league.

We must continually shout out our achievements and be proud of them not humble. If we change lives or assist in some small way, in today's T&T, it good to promote good news.

Also, as a Roman Catholic, I learned at Sunday School that Jesus assembled the first, and probably, the most successful promotions and marketing team in history. How else would we know so much about him?

But I am pleased to learn that Connection is doing stuff as I know that they are a caring bunch and would be keen to help others.

Yes, videos are good for marketing ... but they are also fundamental to player development etc. Hence, maybe not a discardable investment.

We wanted equipment that could film games in the stadiums so we could submit videos to TV here as well as create promotional videos to send overseas. It was explained to us that a poor quality video would actually work against us. When we were quoted for the equipment, we were told that we needed a HD camera which comes in around TT$25,000 and an editing suite at around TT$10,000. Apparently, this will soon be the minimum quality acceptable by TV. Anything less in quality would look poor on the website and TV. We were told that this was also necessary to allow zooming in and slow motion without compromising the quality. 

Perhaps we should just go for a cost effective option for now.

San Juan Jabloteh whip Police FC 17-0
T&T Express Reports.


Kesean St Rose scored five goals, and Jodel Brown got a hat-trick as well, as San Juan Jabloteh posted by far the biggest margin of victory when they hammered Police 17-0 in the Under-14 Division of the Youth Pro League on Sunday.

Jabloteh also beat the Police youths 4-1 at Under-16 level and 2-0 in the Under-18/Reserve Division.

Playing the first of three matches of the day against young Police, Jabloteh also got two goals each from André Raymond, Nicholas Romany and Jamal Mathias, and further items from Oliver Emmanuel, Kyle Thomas and Darrian Parks.

T&T Guardian Reports.


San Juan Jabloteh’s 100 per cent winning record in the T&T Pro Youth League came to a halt after it was held to a 0-0 draw by Pt Fortin Civic FC on Sunday.

Despite being held to the draw, Jabloteh still leads the nine-team table with 13 points, the same as North East Stars, but with a superior goal-difference and one ahead of Pt Fortin Civic which has played a match more.

Stars got a beaver-trick from Kishon Hackshaw in a 8-0 mauling of Central FC.

In the Under-16 Division, St Ann's Rangers stayed top of the table after it blanked Caledonia 2-0 with first-half goals from Nicholas Blake and Isaiah Lopez.

Rangers now have 13 points from five matches three clear of Stars which was held to a 0-0 draw by Central FC.

And in the Under-18/Reserve competition, Brent Sam netted a hat-trick to lead San Juan Jabloteh over Pt Fortin Civic 4-1 and top of the table with 13 points from its five matches, two more than W Connection which had a bye.

Jabloteh, W Connection share U-18/Reserves lead
T&T Guardian Reports.


San Juan Jabloteh and DirecTV W Connection both won comfortably to stay joint leaders in the T&T Youth Pro League Under-18/Reserve Division following Sunday’s round of matches.

Jabloteh got a double from Josiah Trimmingham, in the 57th and 73rd minute in a come-from-behind 4-2 win over Central FC to move to 17 points from seven matches, the same as W Connection which thrashed Defence Force 6-0 led by a double from Yohance Alexander in the 18th and 20th minutes.

Three points back in third spot is Pt Fortin Civic after a 1-0 victory over Caledonia AIA thanks to a fourth minute strike from Jamille Boatswain while St Ann’s Rangers is fourth with ten points after a 0-0 draw with North East Stars.

However, Kenton James (66th) and Byron Williams (69th) hit back with second-half items for Stars to grab all three points and climb to 16, two more than W Connection and Rangers. W Connection jumped top second on goal-difference after blanking Defence Force 2-0 with Kierron Mason (49th) and Anthony Herbert (54th) the scorers.

In the Under-14 Division, three different players were on target as Pt Fortin Civic FC whipped Caledonia AIA 3-1 to stay a point ahead of San Juan Jabloteh and North East Stars  with 18 from eight matches, but from a match more.

Have not been paying much attention to the YPL.

Maybe if the info was more consistent.

In the past they also started of good and then when I created a special thread for it, info was hard to find and it left the thread incomplete, so I really don't pay that particular league much attention.

Dealing with the folks in T&T is worst than pulling teeth.

Club Sando joins line-up to compete at Youth Pro League 2015.
ttproleague.com.


Debutants Club Sando are one of ten clubs that will take to the field on Sunday 15 March in the divisions of Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 when the 2015 Youth Pro League kicks off.

Despite some setbacks at the Under-13 level, Club Sando youth teams’ coordinator and head coach of the Under-17 team, Gerald Elliot, says the ambition is to compete at all levels and not just make up numbers.

“We were able to compete at the Super League level and now we are ready just as our senior counterparts to take the next step [to compete in the Pro League],” said the 50-year-old Elliot.

“Our Under-13s are lacking in numbers and preparation due to the fact that kids in that age category are preparing for SEA (Secondary Entrance Assessment) exam,” continued Elliot, a former coach at his alma mater St. Benedicts College.

“But we are still confident of being competitive at all divisions. We started preparations at the start of the year and so far we are doing pretty ok. The players are pretty much excited and we are ready to compete as much as possible.”

Club Sando will have their first test against former champions at all levels W Connection in the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 divisions in Round One Match Day One on Sunday at Gilbert Park in Couva.

Coaches Wayne Ceasar and Kevon Drayton are in charge of the Club Sando Under-13s while coaches Kyle Small and Corey Browne are with the Under-15 division, and like Elliot, are up against highly rated W Connection youth coaches such as former Trinidad and Tobago internationals Leonson Lewis and Brian Williams.

Last season Connection won the Under-16 division and finished third in the Under-14 and Under-18/Reserve divisions. San Juan Jabloteh won the Under-18/Reserve division while Point Fortin Civic finished second. At the Under-14 division North East Stars edged Jabloteh for the title by one goal after both teams finished with 40 points, six points ahead of Connection.

“Winning is not that important at this level; for me it’s all about making sure the kids understand football basics and the DNA of how DIRECTV W Connection plays,” said W Connection Under-13 coach Lewis, who played 36 times for the Trinidad and Tobago and scored 22 goals between 1988-1996.

The former Portugal based forward added: “When people or our club President (David John-Williams) observes the Under-13's play it should remind them of the senior team and at the end of the season my ultimate goal is to see how much players we can get on the national team, because every season we normally have about three or four players who make the step up.”

Under-17 head coach Brian Williams, who led the Under-16 league winning team on a historic tour to Italy, where they faced the youth teams of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Udinese and Hellas Verona, stated that alongside teaching his charges the Connection way, he is confident of another title.

“We are confident of winning the title again this year,” said the former “Strike Squad” defender. “This season there will be much more consultation with senior team coach Stuart Charles Fever because soon [our Under-17 players] could be ready move on to that stage.”



Also on Sunday in the 2015 Youth Pro League, which runs from March 15 - July 17, Defence Force will host North East Stars at Trinity College East; Caledonia AIA will host Point Fortin Civic at the Maracas Recreation Ground; Jabloteh will hosts Police FC at San Juan North Secondary School; and Central FC are hosts against St. Ann’s Rangers at the New Settlement Ground in Chaguanas.

Players should be playing with their year by year (peer) groups (U14, U15, U16 etc.) rather than in broader categories such as U-15, U17 and U20. Discuss.

I think the idea is to mirror the upcoming FIFA competitions so U17's get regular football vs their own age groups etc

Jabloteh start perfect in Youth Pro League 2015
ttproleague.com.


76 goals in 15 games as YPL kicks off with a bang, Connection and Jabloteh grab double figures against debuting Club Sando and Police respectively in U-13s

San Juan Jabloteh recorded a perfect start to their Youth Pro League 2015 campaign by defeating Police FC at the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 levels in Round One Match Day One on Sunday.

Jabloteh, hosting Police at San Juan North Secondary in San Juan, recorded a 12-1 win in the Under-13 level -- a result that only W Connection did slightly better by whipping debuting Club Sando 12-0 in the same age group at Gilbert Park in Couva.

Molik Khan grabbed a hat-trick for the Connection under-13s coached by former Trinidad and Tobago international forward Leonson Lewis, while Adiica Ash got to a double and teammates Stevon Thomas, Joshua Joseph, Tarik Lee, Tyrique Joseph, Dawn St Rose and Nkosi Sampson added a goal each.

Malik Robinson and Rogers Dillon both scored twice for the Jabloteh Under-13s and teammates Nickell Alexander, Daniel David, Real Gill, Kaihim Thomas, Terrel Wiley, Jaheim Marshall, Jude Johnson and Tyrell Straker got a goal each. While Police’s consolation item was scored by Emmanuel Bruce.

Jabloteh, champions of last season’s Under-18/Reserve division and runners-up in the Under-14 division, also defeated Police 8-1 in the Under-15 and 4-0 in the Under-17 divisions on Sunday to contribute to 76 goals being scored in a total of 15 matches played on the opening day of the YPL 2015.

Kesean St Rose netted a beaver-trick for the Jabloteh Under-15s over Police while a goal each from Nickell Orr, Rakim Cabi and Jodel Brown, and an own goal contributed to the 8-1 score-line.

And to complete the Jabloteh hat-trick, a double by Dominic Douglas and a goal each from Khiesa Granger and Hail Beckles earned the home side a 4-0 win over visiting Police.

Connection, winners of last season’s Under-16 division, defeated Club Sando 3-0 in the Under-17 division on Sunday but had to settle for a 1-1 come-from-behind draw in the Under-15 division against the YPL newcomers.

At Trinity College East in Trincity, Defence Force and North East Stars played to 3-3 and 2-2 draws in the Under-13 and Under-15 divisions respectively before North East Stars, champions of last season’s Under-14 age group, registered a 3-1 win in the Under-17 division.

Caledonia, hosting Point Fortin Civic at the Maracas Recreation Ground in St. Joseph, registered wins, 3-0 and 4-1, in the Under-13 and Under-17 divisions respectively but were defeated 2-1 by the visitors in the Under-15 division.

Central FC, meanwhile registered 2-1 wins over visiting St. Ann’s Rangers at the New Settlement Ground in Chaguanas in the Under-13 and Under-17 divisions but were held to a 1-1 draw in the Under-15 division.

Malta Carib sponsors Youth Pro League
T&T Newsday Reports.


Malta Carib has thrown its support behind youth football, specifically the junior division that was designed as the “feeder” to the clubs of the Digicel Pro League.

The sponsorship of the Youth Pro League was launched yesterday afternoon at the Queen’s Park Oval, where representatives of both the Pro League and the well-known non- alcoholic beverage expressed the belief that it would be a “historic” partnership.

Before a small group of Youth League players and their coaches, Carib Sponsorship and Events Manager Colin Murray listed some of the brand’s better-known ambassadors such as football legend Dwight Yorke, entertainer Faye-Ann Lyons and presently cricketer Dwayne Bravo.

“We see this,” Murray said, “as the perfect opportunity to align Malta Carib with football, a sport which encourages the youth of TT to explore their full potential both on and off the field. We truly believe that the only way forward for sport in our beloved country is in the investment in the youth and the development process of the respected individuals involved in their care.”

Malta Carib Brand Ambassador Dwayne Bravo impressed upon the players the importance of discipline and respect for their teammates and coaches. Using himself as an example of sporting success, Bravo said that while he came from a humble family, he is now able to provide for them, through his success in sport. “Sport can change your life,” he said, “but you need to make sacrifices first.”

In recognising the importance of his organisation’s new partner, Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene listed the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid among the major clubs which have benefitted from youth programmes.

“Youths are an investment, not an expenditure,” he stated, adding that without properly-instituted youth development programmes, national teams would always struggle to survive in international competition. He added that approximately 70 percent of national Under- 17 and Under-19 players come through the Youth Pro League.

This year, the Youth League is divided into Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 age groups. Competition kicked off earlier this week and ends in July.

Malta Youth League to bolster young men.
By Sean Nero (Guardian).


The 2015 Malta Carib Youth Pro League season, which is already in progress, will again be an all-male affair.

At Friday’s launch of the tournament organised by the TT Pro League at the President’s Box, Queen’s park Oval, Port-of-Spain, Dexter Skeene, the organisation’s chief executive officer, said for now this division of the League would be an all-boys affair.

He said before the girls segment was introduced the TT Pro League needed to get the components in the adult division right and ensure the effective operations of the junior category was seamless, too. Only then would female athletes be invited to participate and exhibit their skills adding to the dynamics of the sporting event.

Skeene said the junior instalment of the League was where the organisation was able to drive inspiration and motivation. In his view, administrators of the League did not have the luxury of being short-sighted considering that the future of the entire organisation and the improvement in the standard of play resided in the quality of the youth football and the development programmes.

Competition in this season’s tournament will feature athletes in the Under-13, U-15 and U-17 divisions. Last year’s fixture had U-14, U-16 and U-18 footballers on show. While no cash awards have been assigned to the competition, individual and team awards would be presented.

But even as the footballers gear up, advocacy efforts through the use of social media was being applied to bolster awareness and positively promote these athletes during each game and stage of the League.

“We must encourage our players to experiment and be creative; not being afraid to make mistakes. Too many times our creative players are being stifled because the focus is purely on winnings and not development. These issues are part of a greater awareness that we must have if we are to strive for the excellence that is necessary to effectively take our youth to the stage where they make a smooth transition to senior and international football.

“The youth are invaluable. They are an investment, not expenditure. I have said it before and I will say it again: get your academy and development infrastructure wrong and your demise is certain; it is not a question of if, but when,” he said.

“Additionally, in the absence of a well-structured and coherent youth development pathway, T&T football will never grace a senior Fifa World Cup on a continuous basis. It is at this stage that the right attitude, technique and skills are nurtured and properly developed. I urge, even implore the TT Pro league clubs to address in a serious and dedicated manner the proper development of their youth teams. It is at this level your best coaches and football minds should be focused.”

He said local football administrators only had to look to the tried and tested systems being employed and deployed by champion international clubs Barcelona FC, Manchester United, and Santos FC.

In addition to the technical and tactical aspects of the game, Skeene said, the clubs identified dealt with the proper age specific physical preparation, exposure, psychological and educational aspects, which would produce complete players who were ready to play and perform creditably at the international level.

“Germany decided in 2003 to place the focus on producing more technically proficient home grown players and the German Football Association implemented a talent development programme, which was introduced with the aim of identifying promising youngsters from 8-14 served by a 1,000 part-time coaches, all of whom had to hold the UEFA B-Licence and were expected to scout, as well as train the players. The results can be seen in their performances on the world stage in both club and country competitions,” said Skeene.

“This shows the importance of having and implementing a proper youth development structure. We have recognised this and the TT Pro League is laying the foundation and providing the platform for our youngsters to fulfil their true potential with this Malta Carib Youth Pro League. I anticipate a very exciting menu of youth football this season. We have and believe in the talent that resides in the Malta Carib Youth Pro-League.”

West Indies and Trinidad and Tobago cricket star Dwayne Bravo, in the capacity as brand ambassador for Malta Carib on Friday, told young footballers during the launch of the Malta Carib Youth Pro League 2015 to grab the opportunity offered to them with both hands.

Bravo, speaking at the President’s Box of the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, in the presence of attentive youngsters and youth coaches, said, “Dwight Yorke is a perfect example.”

Bravo reminded that Yorke, a former Aston Villa and Manchester United star, who was picked up by the scouts of English club Aston Villa as a 17-year-old, could have easily decided to return to Tobago due to the cold conditions in England among other challenges and today be an unknown.

“He is retired now but the whole world knows of Dwight Yorke,” continued Bravo. “Try to be another Dwight Yorke or another Russell Latapy.”

The 31-year-old international cricket star highlighted that some of T&T’s present foreign based international footballers such as Kevin Molino (Orlando City – United States), Khaleem Hyland (Racing Genk – Belgium) and Lester Peltier (Slovan Bratislava – Slovakia) all started in the TT Pro League.

“You can make it but it’s not an overnight process,” the Queen's Park Cricket Club (QPCC) player told the young footballers. “You all have a perfect opportunity and I plead to you, grab it with both hands because some guys don’t have this opportunity.”

Bravo, who names Brian Lara as his childhood and present role model, added, “Growing up my dream was to play cricket at the highest level [like Brian Lara]. So from a very early age I knew what I wanted in life. You can live your dream but it doesn’t come easy. The most important thing is discipline; how dedicated you are to your sport and to your teammates. Respect your teammates and your coaching staff. Never doubt yourself; always think that you can achieve anything.

“There are great opportunities for you where sport is concerned; it can change your life. I came from a very poor family (…) and I am in a position now where I can provide for my entire family.”

Bravo congratulated Malta Carib for taking up the partnership role with the TT Pro League “in helping develop the youths of the country”.

Malta Carib – the popular beverage among kids and adults – will be predominantly displayed and among prizes during matches as well as on social media such as facebook, twitter and instagram during the 2015 Malta Carib Youth Pro League which kicked off on March 15.

But Colin Murray, sponsorship and events manager at Malta Carib, explained that his company sees the partnership as the perfect opportunity to align Malta Carib with football, a sport which encourages the youth of Trinidad and Tobago to explore their full potential both on and off the field.

“Malta Carib takes pride in partnering with the Trinidad and Tobago Youth Pro League 2015,” said Murray during the launch of the 2015 YPL season and Malta Carib partnership with the league. “We at Malta Carib (...) commend the TT Pro League for their vision and management of this league over the past ten years in the [various youth] divisions as we truly believe that the only way forward for sport in our beloved country is in the investment in the youth and the development process of the respected individuals involved in their care.

"Malta Carib sees this partnership with the TT Pro League as enhancing not only the league but a partnership that will make a difference and we would like all the players to be aware that Malta Carib will be initiating a number of individual prizes for the average performers. So to all the players taking part in the Malta Youth Pro League we urge you to give your best, try hard, be fair and be disciplined in your approach. You will reap the rewards.”

Ten clubs (Caledonia AIA, Central FC, Club Sando, Defence Force, North East Stars, Point Fortin Civic, Police FC, San Juan Jabloteh, St. Ann's Rangers, W Connection and newcomers Club Sando) will contest each other from March 15 - July 17 at Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 levels in the Malta Carib YPL 2015.

The Malta Carib YPL 2015 action will resume on Sunday 22 March with North East Stars hosting Point Fortin Civic at the Larry Gomes Stadium training field; W Connection against Central FC at Gilbert Park; Police hosting Defence Force at the St. James Baracks; San Juan Jabloteh hosting St. Ann’s Rangers at San Juan North Secondary; and Caledonia AIA welcoming Club Sando at Maracas Recreation Ground in St. Joseph.

TT Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to Malta Carib for their commitment to the Pro League and the youth of the nation, said, “More than any other activity that the TT Pro League is responsible for, the Youth Pro League is where we derive inspiration and motivation. We cannot ever be short-sighted. The future of the TT Pro League and the improvement in the standard of play, resides in the quality of the youth football and the development programmes. The youths are invaluable. They are an investment, not expenditure.”

Skeene, like in the past, cautioned clubs, “Get your academy and development infrastructure wrong and your demise is certain. It is not a question of if but when. Additionally, in the absence of a well-structured and coherent youth development pathway Trinidad and Tobago’s football will never grace a Senior FIFA World Cup on a continuous basis.

“It is at this stage that the right attitude, technique and skills are nurtured, honed and properly developed. I urge, even implore the TT Pro League clubs to address in a serious and dedicated manner the proper development of their youth teams. It is at this level your best coaches and football minds should be focused.”

Skeene advised that clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Ajax and Santos are good examples of clubs that live and breathe youth development. He also highlighted that Germany’s decision over a decade ago to place focus on producing more technically proficient home-grown players have seen recent benefits at club and country competitions.

“I also wish to remind [clubs] that we must encourage our players to experiment and be creative, not being afraid to make mistakes. Too many times our creative players are being stifled because the focus is purely on winning and not development. These issues are part of a greater awareness that we must have if we are to strive for the excellence that is necessary to effectively take our youth to the stage where they make a smooth transition to senior and international football,” said the TT Pro League CEO.

Wilson scores all 6 for Army
T&T Express Reports.


Justin Araujo-Wilson scored a first half brace, then completed a beaver-trick in the second in netting all six goals in a Defence Force 6-0 rout over Club Sando in the Under-13 division of the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League on Sunday.

Wilson, has so far scored nine goals in three matches this season. He netted two against North East Stars in a 3-3 draw  on match day one and one against Police in a 3-0 win on  match day two. He was  in scintillating form on  match day three  at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field on Sunday.

The 12-year-old, a product of SKHY FC, scored in the 9th, 17th, 25th, 41st, 52nd and 63rd minutes against the Sando U-13s, who were previously defeated 8-0 and 12-0 by Caledonia AIA and W Connection, respectively.

Club Sando, however, were able to peg back a 2-1 win over Defence Force in the Under-17 division. Junior Asson netted the second half winner in the 67th minute.

Earlier, Defence Force’s Aaron Skeene (45th minute) levelled Adrian Mc Laren’s (8th minute) opener before the break. Both teams will meet again next week Wednesday to contest their rescheduled Under-15 fixture.

Youth Pro League. This is a joke.

The world-renowned Ibercup USA. With over 350 teams from 50 nations, none of them from Trinidad and Tobago, the Ibercup is the largest and most youth tournament in the world, boasting top teams in the world such as Athletico Madrid, Manchester City, Benfica, Ajax, as well as teams from Germany, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, etc. Every year, famous clubs, football academies from around the globe repeat the experience in this prestigious tournament.

Everyone else sees the importance of this tournament except the great soccer nation of Trinidad and Tobago. I read somewhere where Stern John's academy and Amwood's academy were going to play each other. And the purpose of doing that is what? If you want your program and the kids in the program to enjoy an experience playing against and testing their skills against real competition then this is the tournament you want to register for. This is also a perfect test of how far your program has come. The SSFL should consider registering the champions of the league for this tournament as well instead of wasting peoples time with the nonsense. Some of the so call pro teams with youth clubs can register their youth teams for this tournament. This opportunity can be a wonderful measuring stick for the youth teams and the kids to meet other kids from around the world. The Ibercup is for kids, boys and girls, between the ages of 9 - 18.

You always talking about developing the game but that is just ole talk. You good at that.

I would be interested to find out how many of the 350 teams are self funded. I know that when my son was around 12 his club went to Spain for a tournament. For 6 months the boys held all kinds of fundraising events from sponsored walks to club discos. We even had a Mums vs Dads sponsored match where the Dads had to wear dresses!! Any shortfall was paid by parents.

I recently met a cricket team from Cornwall, England who tour T&T every year for the last 26 years. Most of the cost is raised in similar ways.

My point is that any team can go anywhere if they put in the effort to raise funds, gain sponsorship etc. I know that Central F.C. is struggling to finance our trip to Guyana. No way could we find in excess of $100,000 to send a youth team overseas.

However, I do agree that it would be a good developmental tool

First of all, a trip to Guyana is considered a trip overseas, as it is a South American country.
Second, doesn't Central FC have a sponsor? A sponsor is referred to as an organization that supports an organization or person financially to carry out an activity.
Third, a trip to Guyana, the mecca of football, for what reason? If I was a sponsor and you came to me with that shit I would turn you down.
You are having a difficult time getting a sponsor to sponsor your trip? Really? Then why do you have a sponsor? Providing that you do have a sponsor.
The Ibercup and a trip to Guyana, the mecca of football. Let's weigh the two. Forget about it. To get funding you have to show sponsors a worthwhile reason for that money. Guyana is not that. This sounds like you and Shabbazz are in cohoots.

Entry to the Champions League or kids football? Lets weigh the two  ???

A sponsor, is usually a business who commit to investing a particular amount of money per year. It is very rare, particularly in T&T, for a business to say "Hey, spend whatever you want, whenever you want" In fact, most sponsors usually only give product, and CAL seem reluctant to take a case of of Pepsi in exchange for a ticket to Guyana.

Hope that clarifies some of the issues that you related to?

Entry to Champions League football or kids football? Yeah, let's weigh the two.
Central FC is not going very far in Champions League football.
Your boys and girls youth teams, providing that you have that, will never forget the experience of playing in a world class tournament and meeting other kids from around the world, playing in a game that they will never forget, that will benefit them in no uncertain terms, that will certainly benefit the Central FC organization probably for years to come, that could help Central make some noise in the CCL in the future. Priceless.
On second thought, yeah, let us not weigh the two.

It really depends if you want to run a youth club or a football business. Of course, youth development is important, which is why we will be the only professional club with a former National Team coach running our academy. But the reality is that, as you pointed out, sponsorship is important and the more that you achieve, the more marketable you are.

I cannot see a scenario where any club would forgo an opportunity to play in the Caribbean Club Championship to fund a youth trip. In fact, in the past, clubs have not taken their place in the tournament because of lack of funds. This is the reality.

So, how about this.... the Men's National Team withdraw from the Gold Cup and we send some national youth teams to the Ibercup. Would that be acceptable?

This post is not about Central FC or any one team forgoing an opportunity to play in any tournament over another. I used the word "you" as a general term and not referring to any specific person or organization. FYI. The Ibercup is held annually, annually means every year, for any football organization and soccer academies around the globe that is interested in elevating the awareness and skills of it's kids and it's program. This post is a response to the youth football league in Trinidad and Tobago and not to any one club or academy in particular.

Did you understand that, initially, or did you just decide to be ignorant? What does Central FC being the only club with a national team coach to run it's youth program have to do with the price of tea in China? Nothing.

Yes, well I gave an example about what I actually know in response to your original post. Not just Central F.C., but a Cornwall cricket team and an English youth team. You decided to attempt sarcasm and belittled the Caribbean Club Championship, which may not be the UEFA Champions League but should, as a Trini, evoke some sense of pride that our flag is being carried into an international competition. It's nice to see that you're keen to see Central F.C. fail in foreign competition. Whats that all about? Shouldn't all Trinis hope that Central & Connection enhance T&Ts reputation? Especially Central with an all Trini squad?

I attempted to give you a serious and informed response but you just want to ridicule instead of indulge in an interesting debate.

So, now you want to question my "pride" and you want to talk about "carrying the flag in international competition". Central FC has never played in any international competition to speak of much less carry the flag. That flag of which you speak has proven to be way too heavy for a lot of teams attempting to carry it and they have all proven to be not worthy of carrying that flag. They have failed miserably in representing the flag and instead have succeeded in making many people angry. That flag is too heavy for Central FC and WConnection. Your game is too weak to scare anybody in the CONCACAF Club Championship. Historically, that is a fact. You will be another 3 easy points. So, before you question mine or anyone else's" pride" maybe you should ask questions about your team's preparedness to compete in the CCL.

Deese, Breds, why all the anger on TT football clubs. With the exception of DF, Police and Connection, all the others depend on govt subventions to  survive. If Kamla get mad and pull the rug  under the pro league that is it for "pro football".  By the way, since the inception of the CCL TT clubs have won it the most and have been the runners-up the most. Now I agree with you when the play in Concacaf they very disappointing. Different level of competition. But all this thing about the clubs are not good flag bearers is kind of over the top. Apart from DF, JW Connection has rep TT well. even Joe Public(gulp) had one of the best runs for a Trini against Concacaf clubs one year. But lately the clubs have been less than stellar. Disappointing. Yes! Angry! No. Good luck  Connection and Sharks.

As far as I am concern Deeks, my post wasn't about CFU or CCL football. It was about the frigging youth football.

By the way, Defence Force is the only team, in my opinion, to represent the flag in CCL football. They carried it and is still to this day the only club from Trinidad and Tobago to be crowned champions of CONCACAF. Police FC gets an honorable mention.

Deeks, I don't know if you are drinking right now but since the inception of the CCL, Mexican clubs have won it 30 times and have been runners up more than any other club in Concacaf. Put down the glass my brother.

Deese, I meant CFU football, where Trini teams do very well. I know the Mexicans dominate Concacaf. And DF is the only TT club to win the CCL. But DF is an exception to the rule. They have always been a de factor pro club. That is why they should have done much more(in my opinion). A friend of mine  back home, he is a high school coach, is of the opinion that over the past couple years DF has been underachieving. DF has good players. He think coaching is their biggest problem. He thinks they should get an outside coach for them to go further.

As Deeks was encouraging, keep the discussion clean fellahs as the respectable version of this debate is very informative. You all contribute alot, more than you know. Don't let it get derailed by escalating levels of potentially toxic degrees of personal verbal abuse that could end up with somebody calling de other "yuh f**ker" as has unfortunately been seen in the past. Press on Deeks, Deese and assistant minister FS. All this passion likely reflects a commonality of the contributors wanting good for T&T. We are blessed to have some who still care and have an outlet to contribute with their minds and then actions.

I totally agree that DF have been underachieving, but it's not just them, it is football in general that have been underachieving. From the national senior teams to the little leaguers. It is an epidemic of epic proportions. Football has been played in TnT for over a hundred years and to be this inconsistent and inferior at every level in every international tournament is unacceptable. You see the results in every tournament from every team from Trinidad. Even the so called pro league is ranked as one of the worst in the region and I would argue that the youth league and the SSFL are not far behind. That is no coincedence. You beat up on one another in a friggin cocoon and call yourself champion but to the outside region that means nothing. Pro league this, pro youth league that and this friggin SSFL champion that isn't worth the paper it is written on means absolutely nothing if you cannot show and prove to the outside region that you are indeed representing the flag and you are, champion.
The old heads that play the game now cannot be changed in their ways but change can be made and should be addressed at the youth level, properly, and that is why my original post was about the youth leaguers and not Central FC or WConnection playing in the CFU tournament. I don't have to belittle the CFU, they will do that on their own in the CCL.

Sando suffer at the might of Jabloteh in Malta Carib 2015 YPL.
ttproleague.com.


San Juan Jabloteh Under-13 outfit equalled their biggest win of the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League season on Sunday by defeating Club Sando 12-1 – the same score achieved against Police FC on 15 March – before completing the day's trifecta with 2-1 and 5-0 wins in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions respectively.

The results kept Jabloteh perfect at the top of the U13 and U15 standings while climbing two spots up into fourth in the U17 division after Round One Match Day Five.

Jarique Williams (25th and 31st minutes), Jaheim Marshall (37th and 46th minutes) and Tyriqye Sutherland (63rd and 64th minutes) all scored twice for the Jabloteh U13’s while teammates Kihim Thomas (7th minute), David Daniel (11thminute), De Shawn Strong (34th minute), Nickell Alexander (35th minute), Jerry Morris (41stminute) and Josiah Edwards (61st minute) had a goal each.

In the U15’s division, Jabloteh’s Jodel Brown (80thminute) netted a penalty winner after Sando’s Ronaldo Mc Intosh (44th minute) had equalised from the penalty spot following Kesean St. Rose (32nd minute) opener.

Jabloteh wrapped up the day at the San Juan North Secondary Ground with their five goals against Sando in the U17’s division.

Dereem Daniel (64th and 72nd minutes) netted twice while Warren Chase (30th minute) and Dominic Douglas (90th minute) were also on target, all following an own goal in the 24thminute.

Central FC were the only other club to enjoy wins in every division of Round One Match Day Five, defeating Defence Force 3-0 in the U13’s, 3-1 in the U15’s and 2-0 in the U17’s on Sunday.

Also on Sunday Caledonia AIA, second on the U13 standings, defeated St. Ann’s Rangers 2-0 in the U13’s and 5-0 in the U17’s but were edged 2-1 in the U15’s.

Caledonia moved to the top of the U17 standings but are only ahead of W Connection and North East Stars by goal-difference. (See full Round One Match Day Five results, standings, and upcoming fixtures below)

Meanwhile North East Stars were 4-1 and 1-0 winners in the U15 and U17 divisions against Police FC, all following a 3-3 draw in the U13 division.

Playing on Saturday, W Connection, 5-1 winners over Point Fortin Civic in the U13 division, were defeated 2-0 in the U15’s before edging Civic 2-1 in the U17 division.

Action continues on Sunday 26 April, in the U13, U15 and U17 divisions. Connection will host Defence Force at Gilbert Park in Couva, while Jabloteh travels to New Settlement Recreation Ground in Chaguanas against Central FC. Point Fortin Civic are hosts to Rangers at Mahaica Oval, while Caledonia visits Police at the St. James Barracks, and Club Sando welcome North East Stars at New Lands Recreation Ground in Guayaguayare.

Sando U-13s finally win but Jabloteh continue to dominate Malta Carib YPL.
ttproleague.com.


Club Sando Under-13s finally registered their first win with a 4-0 result over North East Stars in Round One Match Day Six of the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League last Sunday.

Sando U13s, who were flattened in four of five previous outings, finally got it right with a double each by Asiah Drayton and Marvin Walldrop against winless North East Stars at Newlands Recreation Ground in Guayaguayare.

However North East Stars stormed back to beat Sando 4-1 and 6-0 in the Under-15 and Under-17 age groups, respectively.

Devon Charles, Jalani Augustus (from the penalty spot), Kishon Hackshaw and Malik Mieres each scored a goal for North East Stars U15s while Isa Bramble had the consolation item for Sando.

In the U17 division, a hat-trick by Isaiah Lee, a double by Renaldo Francois and one from Akeem Hosten saw North East Stars cruise to victory.

Meanwhile longstanding leaders at the U-13 and U-15 divisions, San Juan Jabloteh, remained perfect at the top after edging Central FC 1-0 and 2-1, respectively at New Settlement Recreation Ground in Chaguanas.

Kerry Morris' 52nd item separated Jabloteh from Central in the U-13s while second half goals from Sowande and Tigana were needed to overturn a first half own goal deficit in the U15 division.

Jabloteh completed the trifecta with a 1-0 win over the "Couva Sharks" in the U-17 division with Dareem Daniel the hero with a 16th minute goal.

W Connection, hosting Defence Force at Gilbert Park in Couva, defeated the visitors 6-0 and 2-0 in the U-13 and U-17 divisions respectively but were held to a 2-2 draw in the U15 age category.

Tyrique Joseph scored a hat-trick while Molik Khan, Cephas St. Rose and Adica Ash chipped in with a goal each to earn the Leonson Lewis coached-W Connection U-13s a comfortable win against Defence Force.

In the U-17 age category, first half goals by Jarod Gordon and Jordan Riley gave Connection full points over Defence Force.

Point Fortin Civic, hosting St. Ann’s Rangers at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin, defeated the visitors 4-1 and 5-3 in the U-15 and U-17 divisions, respectively, after surrendering to a 1-0 loss in the U-13 division.

While Caledonia AIA, 2-0 winners over Police FC in the U-13 division at the St. James Barracks, were held to a 1-1 draw in the U-15 division before going down 1-0 in the U-17 division. Caledonia continues to boast the best defensive record this season at the U-13 division without conceding a goal after six outings.

Caledonia will return to action in all divisions on Sunday 3 May in Round One Match Day Seven of the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League against the in-form Jabloteh at the San Juan North Secondary Ground. Police will host W Connection at the St. James Barracks; Central FC will visit North East Stars at the Ojoe Road Recreation Ground; and Club Sando will welcome St. Ann’s Rangers at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium Training Field.

The previously carded fixtures between Point Fortin Civic and Defence Force, however, have been postponed due to Point Fortin Borough Day celebrations this weekend and will be rescheduled to a date to be announced.

Jabloteh rule again in Malta Carib Youth Pro League.
ttproleague.com.


San Juan  Jabloteh continued their winning ways in the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League last Sunday with wins over Caledonia AIA in the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 divisions at the San Juan North Secondary School Ground in Round One Match Day Seven.

Tyrique Sutherland scored a second half double (53rd & 67th minutes) to lift the Jabloteh U13s to a 2-0 win over Caledonia before a double (37th & 60th minutes) by Kesean St. Rose and a goal (64th minute) by Oliver Miles earned the San Juan side a 3-0 win in the U15s.

Jabloteh continue to lead the U13 and U15 standings with maximum 21 points after seven matches, while its U17 outfit joined U17 leaders North East Stars and second placed W Connection with 15 points after completing the day with a 2-1 comeback win against Caledonia.

Dereem Daniel equalised in the 19th minute for Jabloteh after Rahim Gordon had given Caledonia a fourth minute lead. Then on the 47th minute Stephon Ealie netted what eventually turned out the winner in favour of the Jabloteh U17s.

North East Stars and W Connection however, were both held to 1-1 draws in the U17 division against Central FC and Police FC, respectively, while Club Sando edged St. Ann’s Rangers 2-1. (See full Round One Match Day Seven results, standings and upcoming fixtures below.)

But Sando, who were 1-0 winners in the U15 division against Rangers thanks to a Nicholi Chadee 29th minute goal, were defeated 8-0 in the U13 division by the visiting St. Ann’s club at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium Training Field.

Keron Manswell scored a hat-trick (20th, 37th & 65th minutes) and Jean-Heim Mc Fee a double (33rd & 56th minutes), while an own goal in the 25th minute and one each from Josiah Fraser (59th minute) and Joshua Guerra (63rd minute) combined for the 8-0 score as the Rangers U13s celebrated their second win of the season.

Also in the U13 division, Police and W Connection played to a 1-1 draw while North East Stars and Central FC also shared points in a 0-0 draw at the Ojoe Road Recreation Ground in Sangre Grande.

In the U15 division, W Connection topped the day with a 7-1 win over Police FC at the St. James Barracks.

Mark Ramdeen led the scoring with a beaver-trick (7th, 10th, 65th & 80th minutes) while Jevaughn Humphrey grabbed a first half double (29th & 44th minutes) and Nikel Rawlins added another in the 79th minute for Connection while Police’s lone goal came from Shaquem Bleasdell in the 47th minute.

North East Stars were also in winners’ row in the U15 division, defeating Central FC 2-1.

Devon Charles and Jaleni Augustus scored in the 2nd and 39th minutes respectively for North East Stars before Seon Soris pulled back a goal in the 75th minute for the visitors at the Sangre Grande venue.

North East Stars will visit St. Ann’s Rangers in Round One Match Day Eight on Saturday 9 May at Trinity College in Moka in all divisions while Central will travel to Mahaica Oval against home side Point Fortin Civic.

Also on Saturday, Caledonia will host W Connection at Valtrin Recreation Ground in Valsayn; San Juan Jabloteh will welcome Defence Force at San Juan North Secondary; and Club Sando will visit Police FC at Dibe Recreation Ground in Long Circular.

Rochford shines for North East Stars
T&T Express Rerports.


JOHN-PAUL ROCHFORD was in good form for North East Stars—before he heads off to Barbados for a week in October to participate in the Digicel Kickstart Academy where he will undergo training under coaches from English Premier League champions Chelsea FC.

The 15-year-old John-Paul, younger brother of Central FC and former Trinidad and Tobago Youth World Cup player Jean-Luc Rochford, is also one of three T&T youth footballers that have been selected for a Digicel Clinic.

Rochford, a Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 footballer, scored twice as North East Stars, were 4-1 winners over St Ann’s Rangers in the Under-17 division of the Malta Carib Youth Pro League last Saturday. Rochford’s goals came in the 42nd and 44th minutes, while Devon Charles (37th minute) and Keishawn Hackshaw (55th minute) had a goal each for Stars, who topped the division. Rochford was named the match’s Most Valuable Player.

Jabloteh U13s extend winning streak with 8-0 win over D/Force in Malta Carib 2015 YPL.
ttproleague.com


Kaihiam Thomas scored a hat-trick and teammates Real Gill, Daniel David, Tyrique Sutherland, De Shawn Strong and John Jardel added a goal each on Saturday to give San Juan Jabloteh an 8-0 win over Defence Force in the Under-13 division in Round One Match Day Eight of the Malta Carib 2015 Youth Pro League.

The win, Jabloteh U13s eight in as many matches this season, kept the Anthony Wickham coached-youngsters perfect at the top of the U13 standings with 24 points to keep ahead of second placed Caledonia AIA (21 points), 2-1 winners over third placed W Connection (16 points).

Thomas scored in the first minute of play and completed his hat-trick with goals in the 22nd and 34th minutes but interrupted by goals from Gill, David and Sutherland in the 12th, 24th and 28th minutes respectively, while Strong and Jardel scored in the 40th and 43rd minutes.

In the Under-15 division, Kesean St Rose scored in the 90th minute to salvaged a late 1-1 draw for Jabloteh after Defence Force had led for most of the match with a 13th minute Darius Dickson goal.

The result kept the Jabloteh U15s undefeated after eight matches, with 7 wins and 1 draw, and 22 points at the top of the table while North East Stars, 4-1 winners over St. Ann’s Rangers on Saturday, are second with 17 points.

Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 footballer John-Paul Rochford (42nd and 44th minutes) scored twice in the first half for North East Stars while Devon Charles (37th minute) and Keishawn Hackshaw (55th minute) had a goal each.

The 15-year-old John-Paul, brother of Central FC top-flight team midfielder and former Trinidad and Tobago Youth World Cup player Jean-Luc Rochford, is also one of three T&T youth footballers that have been selected for a one-week Digicel Kickstart Academy in Barbados in October to undergo training under coaches from English Premier League champions Chelsea FC.

Stars, who were defeated 3-0 in the U13 division by Rangers, defeated the St. Ann’s club 5-0 in the Under-17 division to stay atop the division standings with 18 points but closely followed by Jabloteh, who are only in second with a lesser goal-difference.

Isiah Lee (8th and 52nd minutes) scored a double and Renaldo Francois (15th minute) and Malick Mitchell (78th minute) scored one each, separated by an own goal in the 37th minute as the Sangre Grande U17 Stars cruised to victory.

Meanwhile a goal each from Matthaeus Granger (12th minute), Romario Villafana (37th minute) and Jeankeon Alexander (69th minute) gave Jabloteh a 3-0 win over Defence Force.

N/East Stars, Jabloteh maintain Youth lead.
T&T Guardian Reports.


Japs North East Stars Under-17s, and Play Whe San Juan Jabloteh Under-15s and Under-13s remained at the top of their respective tables in the Malta Carib Youth Pro League after picking up comfortable victories on the weekend.

The Sangre Grande-based Stars stayed three points clear in the race for the Under-17 crown after outgunning Pt Fortin Civic 4-2 led by a double from Renaldo Francois in the 40th and 85th minutes.

Isaiah Lee and Jabari Bastaldo were also on target for Stars in the 17th and 83rd minutes respectively to carry their points total to 27 from 11 matches, three more than DirecTV W Connection and Jabloteh. Tyrese Toussaint had given Pt Fortin an eighth minute lead and then added another in the 60th minute for the losers, who stayed fourth on the table with 19 points.

In the two other key fixtures, Isaiah Hudson scored in the 23rd and 76th minute for W Connection in a 2-1 win over Central FC which got its reply through Sharkell Louison in the 68th, and Jabloteh also won by a similar 2-1 margin over St Ann’s Rangers with Dominic Douglas (77th) and Trey Hankey (85th) scoring to cancel out Saleem Henry’s 81st minute reply.

And Police needed a 51st minute equaliser from Krishon Alexander to earn a share of the points with Defence Force which led through Tyler Kirton’s 38th minute item. Jabloteh kept seven points ahead of closest challenger Stars in the Under-15 age-group after whipping Rangers 3-1 inspired by a brace from Tyrese Bailey in the first and 12th minutes.

Terrol Burgess pulled a goal back in the 29th minute for Rangers, but Kyle Thomas adding a third on the hour mark for Jabloteh to seal all three points pushing its tally to 31 points, while Stars which edged Pt Fortin Civic 1-0 on a John-Paul Rochford 13th minute effort has 24 points, four more than Club Sando, 2-0 winner over Caledonia AIA.

The Under-13 Division battle is a much closer affair, with Jabloteh (31 points) holding a one point lead over Caledonia. This after Jabloteh blasted Rangers 5-2 with Tyrique Sutherland scoring twice for the winners while Akiba Weeks also banged in a double for Caledonia, 3-0 victors over Club Sando.

Daniel fires Jabloteh U-17s to front.
ttproleague.com.


Dareem Daniel scored the lone match in a tight contest as Play Whe San Juan Jabloteh climbed to the top of the Malta Carib Youth Pro League Under-17 Division table after a 1-0 win over host Club Sando at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Training Field, Marabella on Sunday.

With the win, coupled with slip ups by previous joint leaders DirecTV W Connection and Japs’ North East Stars, Jabloteh jumped three places from third in lone possession of first spot with 31 points from 14 matches, two more than Stars and three ahead of W Connection with four matches left for each club.

At the St James Police Barracks Training Ground, Police used goals from Jahreed Murray in the 60th and Jalani Alsop, four minutes from the final whistle to deny Stars full points.

This after Stars had stormed into a 2-0 advantage with a goal apiece from Elijah Nieves and Renaldo Francois in the 31st and 47th minute respectively.

And at Gilbet Park, Couva, Pt Fortin Civic got a goal each from Jeremiah Kesar (ninth), Eljay Clarke (12th), Tyrell Baptiste (21st) and Ronaldo Edwards (42nd) to defeat W Connection, 4-2. Isaiah Hudson got both items for the “Savonetta Boys” in the 13th and 86th minutes.

In the two other Under-17 matches, Jayden Prowell got a brace to lead Central FC past Defence Force 5-1 at New Settlement Ground and Rahim Gordon also banged in a double in Caledonia AIA’s 4-1 whipping of St Ann’s Rangers.

Jabloteh was also made to work hard for all three points in its Under-15 Division encounter with Club Sando with Kesean St Rose being the hero with a second-half to earn a 2-1 win.

Club Sando stunned the visitors in the 16th minute when Josiah Thomas opened the scoring and his team managed to hold firm until the half-time whistle.

However, nine minutes into the second half, St Rose got Jabloteh level at 1-1 and in the 66th minute he notched his second of the contest, which turned out to be the match winner.

Jabloteh’s win was its 11th from 14 matches for 36 points, still five ahead of lone challenger North East Stars, convincing 7-0 victors over Police FC with John-Paul Rochford (14th, 68th), Kishon Hackshaw (17th, 33rd) and Keyon Boney (56th, 72nd) all scoring brace, and Darnel Charles, the other on the stroke of half-time.

In the Under-13 age-group, Jabloteh widened its lead at the top to five points over Caledonia AIA with a 6-1 come-from-behind spanking of Club Sando with six different players on target.

Tyrique Sutherland fired in the opener in the 18th while Jaedon Miller (30th), Real Gill (35th), Daniel David (40th), Nickell Alexander (50th) and Adam Livingston, ten minutes later.

This after Josiah Thomas had given Club Sando a 16th minute 1-0 lead.

Jabloteh youths stay on title path …but Under-15s suffer first loss
ttproleague.com


With three rounds of matches left to complete the season, Play Whe San Juan Jabloteh remained firm favorites to sweep the three divisions, Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 of the Malta Carib Youth Pro League.

But while Under-13s and Under-17s both won their matches over visiting Central FC at the San Juan North Secondary Ground, Bourg Mulatresse, San Juan to stay five and two points clear at the top of their respective tables, the Under-15 squad suffered its first loss in 15 matches.

In the Under-13 age-group, Jabloteh whipped Central FC 3-1 thanks to two late goals.

After a 0-0 first-half, Jerry Morris put San Juan ahead four minutes after the restart, but Mattew De Souza responded for Central FC in the 70th minute.

However, De Souza's effort was not enough to earn his team a share of the points as the visitors buckled under some sustained pressured and conceded an own goal in the 72nd and a minute later Daniel David added a third item for Jabloteh.

The win moved Jabloteh to 43 points from 15 matches, five more than lone challenger Caledonia AIA, 3-0 victors over Police FC at Valtrin Recreation Ground, Valsayn with a goal each from Kareem Trotman (13th), Atiba Weeks (47th) and Malachi Daniel (69th).

Both Jabloteh and Caledonia will lock horns on Sunday at Valsayn in a potential title decider from 10am.

Central FC had better fortune in their Under-15 encounter with Jabloteh at Bourg Mulatresse as it came away 1-0 victors thanks to a 35th minute effort from Sherwin Williams.

Despite the loss, Jabloteh which had won 11 of its previous 14 matches, stayed top of the standings with 36 points and three matches remaining and still four clear of Japs North East Stars, which failed to take use of the leaders slip-up, following its 1-1 draw  with Club Sando at Ojoe Road Recreation Ground, Sangre Grande.

Stars got a perfect start to the match with Kishorn Hackshaw scoring inside the first minute which it failed to add to, and was made tom pay when Isa Bramble tied the match with a 74th minute strike.

Third placed DirecTV W Connection which can finish no higher than second edged Defence Force 2-1, the same score for St Ann's Rangers over Pt Fortin Civic while Police slipped past Caledonia AIA 1-0.

The Jabloteh camp ended the day on a high though, as for the second match in-a-row Dereem Daniel stole the spotlight with his second match winner in as many outings, for a 2-1 triumph over Central FC.

But early the result looked in doubt when Raheem Borde fired Central FC into a 1-0 lead three minutes before the half-time whistle.

On the resumption, Jabloteh pressed for the equalizer and it came through Maciek Hoyte in the 79th while a minute before the final whistle Daniel struck the decisive item to push his team to 34 points, two ahead of North East Stars which ran out 5-0 winners over Club Sando led by a hat-trick from Isiah Lee, in  the first, 14th and 68th minutes.

Renaldo Francois (71st) and Malick Mitchell (87th penalty) added one each for Stars.

Also still in the title chase is W Connection with 31 points after blanking Defence Force 2-0 at Trinity College East, Trinicty on goals from Aaldn Minors (13th)n and Ken Bhola (83rd) while Pt Fortin Civic, fourth with 27 points trounced St Ann's Rangers 3-0 at Trinity College, Moka, Marala inspired by a  double from Jeremiah Kesar (13th & 22nd) and  Darnel Hospedales' 58th minute goal.

Williams Fires Jabloteh U-13's to Malta Carib Title.
ttproleague.com.


Jarique Williams got the lone goal as Play Whe San Juan Jabloteh edged lone title challengers Caledonia AIA 1-0 to claim the Malta Carib Youth Pro League Under-13 Division title on Sunday.

Going into their clash at the NUFGW Ground, Valsayn, Jabloteh led the table with 43 points from 15 matches, five more than Caledonia with three matches left for each team and needed one win from its remaining schedule to wrap up the crown.

The San Juan youngsters did not have to wait long for their goal though as Williams scored as early as the second minute after which his team held on for the win to push its total to an unassailable 46 points from 16 while Caledonia stayed on 38 points and cannot catch the table toppers with only two rounds left.

Jabloteh could be set for more celebrations as its Under-15 players moved to within a point of capturing their age-group title after clobbering Caledonia 6-0 capped off by a late double from Levi Clarke, in the 56th and 72nd minute.

This after Kyle Thomas (19th), Andre Raymond (40th), Rakim Cabie (41st) and Kesean St Rose (52nd) netted for a comfortable 4-0 lead.

With the win, Jabloteh Under-15s improved to 39 points after 16 matches, six clear of Japs North East Stars which needed a 70th minute equaliser from Jalani Augustus to earn a 1-1 draw with Central FC at New Settlement Ground, Caroni after Sherwin Williams’ 30th minute opener.

When matches resume on Sunday, Jabloteh will have a chance to wrap up the division when it faces third from bottom Defence Force while North East Stars tackles seventh spot St Ann’s Rangers.

However, the race for the Under-17 crown looks set to go down to the final round of matches with the trio of news leader North East Stars (35 points), Jabloteh (35) and W Connection (34) separated by a mere point with two rounds to go.

Stars’ got anw goal in the 38th and a 70th minute Ronaldo Francois strike to blank Central FC 2-0 at Caroni and now leads on goal-difference from Jabloteh, which was held to a 1-1 draw by Caledonia.

Dominic Douglas put Jabloteh ahead in the 34th minute but Brandon Semper got the equaliser for Caledonia in the 50th minute from the penalty-spot.

W Connection, meanwhile, stayed in the hunt with a 4-0 thrashing of Police FC with two goals from Ken Bhola (46th, 55th) while Jarod Gordon (65th) and Shobal Celestine (77th) added one each.

Youth Pro League kicks off today.
ttproleague.com.


TREBLE WINNERS San Juan Jabloteh are seeking to renew their dominance on youth stage when the Youth Pro League 2016 kicks off today.

The young “San Juan Kings” begins their defence at the San Juan North Secondary School Ground, where they will host Police FC in the Under-14, Under- 16 and Under-18/Reserve divisions from 10 am, 2 pm and 4 pm respectively.

Last season Jabloteh made a clean sweep, winning the Under- 13, Under-15 and Under-17 divisions while North East Stars were runners-up in the U-15s and U-17s but bottom of the table in the U-13s. Jabloteh’s fierce rivals W Connection took the third place finish at the U-13s, U-15s and U-17s.

“We are looking for history again,” said Jabloteh technical director and coach Keith Jeffrey.

“We made history in winning the club’s first ever treble at the youth level, now we want to make history again in doing it consecutively.

“The treble was a success. It invited new parents and players to want to be part of Jabloteh. We want this to continue - we want to continue bringing that success.

We train at Aranguez Ground and its easy access to everyone on the east-west corridor and we want to continue to attract players with good discipline and good football to the club. We see the effect of the treble and we are hungry for the repeat.” Anthony “Dada” Wickham, who led the Jabloteh U-13s last season, continues as U-14 coach; Dave Weeks, who led the U-17s last season and returns following a stint as WASA FC assistant coach in the Super League, joined Dave Quamina as coaches of the U-16 team; while former St Ann’s Rangers coach and Jabloteh assistant coach Gilbert Bateau has been installed as coach of the U-18/Reserve team.

Also today in U-14, U-16 and U-18/Reserve divisions, Defence Force will host North East Stars at Trinity College East in Trincity and Morvant Caledonia United will welcome Point Fortin Civic at Maracas Recreation Ground in St Joseph.

W Connection and Club Sando teams will meet at Gilbert Park in Couva, and Central FC will host St Ann’s Rangers at New Settlement Ground in Chaguanas.

Police go under to the Defence Force.
ttproleague.com.


For the first 10 minutes of the game, both teams matched each other strength to strength. The Defence Force began to create opportunities on the right hand side with Terran Winner (right winger) giving Police defenders a tough time due to his nippy footwork and enticing crossing. The Police defenders seemed to have a hard time challenging the pressure of their competition in the first half of the game.

The newly implemented rule of water breaks to ensure hydration was maintained was called at 2.20pm. After the break, Defence Force came from the resumption within minutes as Jakeem Mc Neil took his team ahead with a cool finish after dribbling around the police defenders and leaving the police goalkeeper no chance as his shot buried neatly into the net.

Police would then respond with a cross from the left side from Jananee Ramsaran which was totally misjudged by the Defence Force goalkeeper. As the ball fell into the back of the net, one could notice the police players raise in spirit, but only to see eight minutes before the half time a magnificent pass from Defence Force -Chileon Phillip to put Michel Poon-Angeron one on one with police custodian as he dribbled the on rushing goalkeeper and rolled the ball in to the back of the net.

The second half started of brightly for police, as their striker smothered his shot straight into the hands of the Defence Force’s goalkeeper, Jordan Bidaaisee, which ended in a missed opportunity. Defence force showing their brilliance in front of goal once again, leading up from a cross from the right hand side of the field saw Kalev Keil converting his shot effortlessly with the cross ball beating everyone but him.

Police did not give up neither did Jordan Bidaaisee and his team mates after a stunning save which kept out Jerome Mason’s free kick which came curling to the top left hand corner.

Police did not relent in search of another goal and created two delicious chances which saw Elijah Williams heading wide in the six yards box and his other attempt gracefully going wide off the upright. And so the game would end with Defence Force coming out victorious three goals to one (3-1).

Nicholas Dillon hat-trick gives Central Reserves comfortable win over Connection.
ttproleague.com.


Nicholas Dillon scored three goals on Wednesday to help Central FC to a comfortable 4-1 win over W Connection in a rescheduled Round One Match Day Two game of the Under-18/Reserve division of the 2016 Youth Pro League.

The win push Central three spots up to occupy the summit of U18/Reserve standings with 6 points—two points ahead of Club Sando, Defence Force and North East Stars—after two games.

Dillion, who turns 19 on March 25 and is a “Couva Sharks” senior team forward, opened the scoring in as early as the 2nd minute at the Ato Boldon Stadium.

Dillon, who usually occupies the substitutes’ bench for the senior team and has just one goal this season in the top flight in a 1-0 win over Point Fortin Civic last October, doubled Central’s advantage on the 54 minute before Connection’s Ruel Tyson reduced the deficit in the 86th minute.

But Isaiah Lopez responded a minute later to restore Central’s two-goal advantage before Dillion, a Trinidad and Tobago Under-20 forward and former trialist at MLS club Portland Timbers, made it 4-1 in stoppage-time by completing his hat-trick—taking his tally to 5 goals from two games in the U18/Reserve league.

Results

W Connection 1 (Ruel Tyson 86’) vs Central FC 4 (Nicholas Dillon 2’, 54’, 90’+, Isaiah Lopez 87’)

ttproleague.com.


Tyrique Sutherland scored twice in the first half to give San Juan Jabloteh a 2-0 win over hosts Point Fortin Civic in their Under-14 clash of the 2016 Youth Pro League last Sunday.

Jabloteh, last season’s treble (U13, U15 & U17) winners, were also in winners’ row in the Under-16 and Under-18/Reserve divisions at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin to stand the only club with a perfect run in Round One Match Day Three.

Sutherland scored in the 7th and 31st minutes to push the Anthony “Dada” Wickham coached-Jabloteh up a spot to lead the U14 standings with maximum 9 points—three points ahead of Defence Force who have a game in hand against Club Sando in all three divisions on March 30.

While in the U18/Reserve division, a second half double through Dareem Daniel (47th & 66th minutes) earned Jabloteh a 2-0 win over Civic.

Central FC (7 points) maintains their place at the top of the U18/Reserve standings but only ahead of North East Stars by goal difference, while Jabloteh are one point behind in third.

Historic Flow Y League is here.
ttproleague.com.


Trinidad and Tobago Pro League Chief Executive Officer Dexter Skeene says the rebranded Y League will transform football in Trinidad and Tobago.

The TT Pro League and Flow Trinidad today announced a three-year partnership that includes the first ever TV rights deal in the history of the League.

The $900,000 deal involves Flow investing TT$300,000 for each of the next three seasons, beginning with the 2016 edition, as well as having naming rights to the competition which will now be known as the Flow Y League (Flow Youth Pro League).

The Flow Y League has three divisions: Under-14, Under-16 and under-18/Reserve.

“Youth football will be on your television screens weekly developing personalities and creating stars of the future,” said an elated TT Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene during the launch of the partnership on Thursday morning at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port-of-Spain.

The Pro League CEO explained, “This partnership is unprecedented because Flow is paying for the broadcast rights for the Youth League. It is the first time in the history of the Pro League that the League has negotiated a six-figure broadcast rights fee. This to my mind is a huge game-changer. It is innovative, imaginative and historic.

“This is a much needed intervention. Hold on to your seats lets go on this ride together to make this even more historic.”

Skeene said the Flow Y League will transform youth football in Trinidad and Tobago “and it is only fitting because the TT Pro League is the highest level in the football pyramid in T&T.”

Skeene lamented that according to economic experts, T&T is facing a difficult guava season – doom and gloom. He said that it has also been well-publicised that Pro League clubs are facing stress and strain [financially], but reminded that every single citizen, entity and organisation, public or private sector, profit or non-profit are also affected.

Skeene added, “What to my mind is most important is that the development of the youth of the country and the development of the people can never be in recession. This morning we are gathered here in my view to affirm that the Pro League has unwavering faith in the talent and potential of the youth of the nation.”

Cindy Ann Gatt, director of marketing at Flow Trinidad, said the partnership emphasises Flow’s commitment to the development of sports in Trinidad and Tobago.

“If you have been paying even a little bit of attention to the initiatives that Flow has been supporting in the past couple of years, it’s easy to recognise that we have increased our commitment to projects that impact our communities.

“Our increased support for sports is two-fold. Yes we do gain visibility as a sponsor and for that we are thankful. But even more important to us, is the chance to make a difference. Our partnerships contribute to give our athletes the opportunity to play, to win, and to live their dreams. This partnership with the TT Youth Pro League is no different.”

Skeene reminded all that the Flow Y League is an important aspect of the TT Pro League achieving its medium and long term sustainability objectives. He said having quality coaching and high quality youth programs are essential components for a high quality TT Pro League.

Flow, the internet, cable and landline provider, recently launched its very own sports channel Flow Sports 95 but will initially air highlights of the Youth Pro League on its local network channel WISports before switching to Flow Sports for local and regional viewership.

National youth team striker Brent Sam scored a goal in each half to lead San Juan Jabloteh to a 4-1 victory over North East Stars in the Under-18/Reserve Division of the Flow Youth Pro League on Sunday at Ojoe Road Recreation Ground, Sangre Grande.

For Morvant Caledonia Malik Mieres, Trevis Byron and Emmanuel Cumberbatch were all on target in the first-half before Michael Poon-Angeron converted a penalty on the stroke of half-time for Defence Force to trail 3-1.

Five minutes after the restart Jakeem Mc Neil added another for Defence Force to cut the deficit to 2-3, but Tarique Phillips made certain of victory for Morvant Caledonia with fourth strike in the 75 th minute.

And in the Under-12 Division, Defence Force maintained the lone 100 per cent winning record in the league with a 2-0 shut-out of Morvant Caledonia led by a double from Justin Araujo-Wilson in the 30th and 68th for maximum 12 points, two ahead of Jabloteh which drew 2-2 at Stars.

‘Shaka’ hits Army double.
T&T Express Reports.


RICHARD ROY scored a double in a losing attempt, as Defence Force had a near perfect comeback before falling 4-3 to Point Fortin Civic in the Flow Youth Pro League on Sunday at Mahaica Oval, Point Fortin.

The action took place in the Under-18/Reserve Division that caters for players over age 17, including older players of any age not getting regular play for their Pro League team, recovering from injury or just needing a “run” to build fitness.

Roy, a member of the Army’s Pro League team, scored twice early in the first half as Defence Force looked to stage a miracle comeback, after trailing the home team civic by a 4-0 margin. Nion Lammy scored twice, including an 11th minute penalty, following a very early Jeremiah Kesar goal, to see Civic in control at 3-0 when the half ended.

Kesar got his second goal of the match in the 57th as Civic went further ahead at 4-0, but the tide turned when the Army footballers netted three goals within an 11-minute period. Roy got two and Tevin Lessey the other in the 61st minute.

The Defence Force had half an hour to get an equaliser, but failed. Victory moved Civic to second on the standings, a point behind leaders San Juan Jabloteh, who dismantled second-from-bottom St Ann’s Rangers 6-2.

Jabloteh brush aside Club Sando in U-18s.
T&T Newsday Reports.

 

SEAN BONVAL scored a double as San Juan Jabloteh brushed aside Club Sando 3-0 on Sunday, in the Under-18/Reserve Division of the Flow Youth Pro League.

Lawrence urges youngsters at Flow Youth Pro League 2017 launch to be ambitious.
ttproleague.com.


Dennis Lawrence, unknown to many, had walked in the shoes of those considered not good enough for the game.

Now, following an extensive playing career that took him all over the world; a FIFA World Cup, the professional leagues of England and Wales, then coaching at England's Premier League and winning the English FA Trophy as an assistant coach at Everton, to now back in his homeland as coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national team head coach following his most recent coaching stint abroad on the staff of the Belgium national team.

From a pint-sized youngster to 6-foot-eight-inches of a legend, the Morvant-born Dennis “Tallman” Lawrence, to put it short, went from being not good enough to enjoying a lengthy career as a player, now coach of his country's national team.

His headed goal against Bahrain propelled T&T to a historic berth at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. T&T becoming the smallest nation to qualify for a Men’s FIFA World Cup.

“I was told a million times ‘you would not make it’,” said the 42-year-old Lawrence, as he addressed a gathering including age-group players at the launch of the Flow Youth Pro League 2017 on Friday at the VIP Lounge of the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port-of-Spain. “But I had belief in myself, I had belief in the people around me.”

Lawrence was the feature speaker at the launch of the new Flow YPL season which kicks off on Sunday with a slate of matches across Trinidad—kick off times 10am, 2pm and 4pm in the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 divisions respectively.

Youth powerhouse Jabloteh, champions of all three divisions in the last two seasons, will kick off their "triple double" defence against Club Sando at the San Juan North Secondary school ground.

Elsewhere, W Connection will host Central FC at Gilbert Park, Morvant Caledonia United are at home to Point Fortin Civic at Mahaica Oval, and St. Ann's Rangers host Defence Force at Trinity College ground Moka.

This is where stars are truly born. Before representing their schools at InterCol, or donning Trinidad and Tobago national kits at various youth levels, top young footballers represent their respective clubs at the junior level of this country’s top tier league, the TT Pro League, putting their practice to the test.

Isaiah Garcia, the current T&T Under-20 captain, comes to mind as a good example. The W Connection teenager has been with the club since Under-10 and had progressed through the youth ranks long before becoming a Shiva Boys College star and T&T youth standout.

TT Pro League Chief Executive Officer Dexter Skeene, in his opening remarks on Friday during the YPL 2017 launch, said, “This year we continue to position this sport property the Flow Youth Pro League or the Flow Y League, as I like to call it, to become the best youth league in the region.”

Skeene explained the YPL, which runs between March to July, is strategically positioned and provides a platform for development of the youth of Trinidad and Tobago.

“From my perspective, it is the most critical property and brand extension in the TT Pro League’s arsenal,” added the Pro League boss who went into detail. “The Flow YPL is important because it is the place where the young footballers hone their skills on the way to playing at the senior level, to becoming professionals, to representing their country. It is where they will learn the rudiments of the game and the tricks of the trade, while being inculcated with the work ethic necessary to make their dreams a reality.

“It is here they receive the exposure necessary and competition against the best talent in their respective age groups throughout the country. It is the one league that has the quality and concentration of players on display, gathered together within several specific age groups.

“It allows true development to take place as games are played once per week on Sundays so that teams, coaches and players have six days to prepare, improve and plan for the following weekend’s games without interruption. Coaches have the opportunity to work on technique and tactics while the trainers and psychologists work on the physical and psychological aspects of the game respectively. It will afford longer recuperation times for players to recover physically from injuries from the previous games, which will increase playing time, the number of games played and ultimately game experience.”

Cindy-Ann Gatt, Director of Marketing at Flow, said her company, now in their second term of a three-season partnership worth $900,000 with the League, is looking forward to another exciting season. Gatt also said that Flow will reward the efforts of players with the introduction of the Player of the Month and Team of the Month in each division.

Gatt said Trinidad and Tobago football heroes such as Shaka Hislop and Dennis Lawrence had different paths to success, “but it all began with an innate love for the beautiful game.

“As the sponsor of the Youth Pro League it is that instinctive passion for the game that each footballer possesses that we are here to support. That spark that you know resides in you--that fuels your desire to excel in this sport, is what we are on board to nurture. So that spark becomes your success in whatever form it takes in the long run, from player to legend—Trinbagonian legend or an English or European legend, or a World Cup legend, anything that comes after. That is our reason for joining you in the Youth Pro League.”

Lawrence, who represented Caledonia AIA, now Morvant Caledonia United, and Defence Force before his move to the United Kingdom, said that coaches and young players are given a fantastic opportunity in the Flow Youth Pro League.

“You [must] have a dream—an ambition,” said the former Wrexham and Swansea City defender. “Enjoy… enjoy, but it is a part of your development, because one day, just like what happened to me, some guy from the UK could be standing in that stand and he could walk over to you and [ask]: ‘what is your name? I would like to speak to you in regards to taking you abroad’. Do not let the opportunity pass, please apply yourself the right way, conduct your work in a professional manner and the sky is the limit for you.”

Less than two months ago Lawrence quit his position as Belgium national senior team scout to take up the post of T&T national team coach.

Lawrence had served under Italian Roberto Martinez for the better part of six years as an assistant coach at Wigan Athletic and Everton and in the English Premier League before following Martinez, who took charge of Belgium.

“What I think is important for the coaches and the players to understand, is that you have to believe in your dream [and that] development is a process,” said Lawrence who recalled his years employed at a grocery for just TT$125 per week.

“(…) what I would like to say to the coaches is please do not allow the result to [negatively] affect the development of the young players. Players are the product. As a young coach trying to develop young talent, your success, from my point of view, should be one day be able to see your players go on to represent the national team, to go abroad and obtain contracts. The immediate result, for me, is irrelevant. What is important is that we understand and recognise the importance of the product—the young players.”

W Connection, Jabloteh, Police FC sweep FYPL age-groups clashes.
T&T Guardian Reports.


W Connection, San Juan Jabloteh and Police FC all came away with 100 per cent winning records from their three age-groups encounters when the 2017 Flow Youth Pro League kicked off on Sunday across Trinidad.

However, while Jabloteh’s players were actually involved in action for all three scheduled matches with Club Sando at San Juan North Secondary, Bourg Mulatresse, San Juan; W Connection only faced rivals Central FC at Gilbert Park, California twice while Police players won without breaking a sweat as Ma Pau Stars failed to show at the St James Police Barracks, Training Ground, Long Circular, St James.

In the Under-13 age-group, Molik Khan netted a hat-trick in the tenth, 16th and 44th minutes to lead W Connection to a comfortable 7-1 bashing of Central FC.

In the Under-15 match-up W Connection got a double from Adica Ash in the 17th and 70th to blank Central 2-0, while in the Under-17 Division, W Connection won by default.

At San Juan, Kanye Baker netted a 14th minute penalty while Jaheim Faustin (27th), the son of former “Strike Squad” utility player Marvin Faustin, and Kosi Charles (70th) were all on target in Jabloteh’s 3-1 whipping of Club Sando which got its lone reply from Joshua Kesney in their Under-13 clash.

Jabloteh also took their Under-15 duel by a two-goals margin with Nickell Alexander and Jerry Morrris the scorers, while in the Under-17s, the trio of Kidane Lewis, Nickell Orr and Terrel Roberts each scored in a 3-0 Jabloteh triumph.

The only other hat-trick scorer on the day was national Under-17 midfielder, Che Benny in St Ann’s Rangers 7-0 mauling of Defence Force at Trinity College Ground, Moka, Maraval.

Club Sando defeated defending champions San Juan Jabloteh in the Under-13 category but the reigning champs managed a victory in their Under-15 and Under-17 matches when the Flow Youth Pro League kicked off Sunday.

Jabloteh, who swept all categories last year, suffered defeat in the Under-13 category, going down 1-3 to Club Sando through goals from Sando's Kanye Baker (14th minute penalty), Jaheim Fustin (27th) and Kosi Charles (70th).

Jabloteh's consolation came from the boot of Joshua Kesney.

In the Under-15 encounter, Jabloteh shut out Sando 2-0 thanks to goals from Nickell Alexander (13th) and Jerry Morris (18th).

And in the Under-17 division, Jabloteh stamped their authority on Sando with a 3-0 shutout. Kidane Lewis (28th), Nickel Orr (50th) and Terrel Roberts (67th) got the goals for Jabloteh.

W Connection registered wins in all their matches against Central FC, including a 6-1 result among the Under-13s; 2-0 in the Under-15s; and a default 3-0 win in the Under-17s.

Molik Khan's hat-trick (10th, 16th 44th,) powered Connection to a comfortable Under-13 victory with Jaden Grant (31st), Levi Jones (49th) and Shakeem Williams (59th) adding one item each. Abdul-Qudoos Hypolite (30th) notched Central's lone goal.

Adica Ash (17th & 70th) grabbed a double for the 2-0 win in the Under-15 match.

Meanwhile, St Ann's Rangers delivered a brutal 7-0 win over the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) in the Under-17 category with St Anthony's College's Che Benny leading the way with a hat-trick (15th, 27th 54th) while teammates Jesse Williams (3rd), Emmanuel Cumberbatch (18th), Nkosi Salandy (37th) and Kesean St Rose (90+) chipping in with one goal apiece.

But Rangers lost by default among the Under-13s and the TTDF eked out a 2-1 win in the Under-15 game when Justin Araujo-Wilson (40th) and Marc Wharfe (61st) found the net, while Jaden Mc Kree scored an own goal.

Elsewhere, Police FC won all three matches by default over Ma Pau Stars.

Point Fortin Civic Centre also claimed a default win over Morvant/Caledonia AIA while splitting results in the Under-15 and Under-17 encounters.

Trinidad and Tobago youth midfielder Che Benny struck twice in the first half before completing his hat-trick after the break to help St. Ann’s Rangers Under-17s to a convincing 7-0 win over Defence Force counterparts on Sunday—the opening day of the Flow Youth Pro League 2017.

Jesse Williams provided Rangers U17's opening item after just three minutes at Trinity College ground, Moka. And, by the half-time whistle Rangers were five-nil ahead after Benny found the back of the net in the 15th and 27th minutes, interrupted by teammate Emmanuel Cumberbatch's 18th-minute item, before Nkosi Salandy got on the scoresheet in the 37th minute.

Benny, who proved an exciting prospect for Rangers first team near the end of the just concluded top flight Pro League, completed his hat-trick nine minutes after the break before Kesean St Rose completed the 7-0 rout on 90 minutes.

It was sweet revenge for Rangers who had earlier--at the same venue--surrendered full points by default in the Under-13 division and lost 2-1 against their Defence Force counterparts in the Under-15 age-group.

Down at the Mahaica Oval, hosts Point Fortin Civic celebrated an earlier 7-0 win over Morvant Caledonia United in the Under-15 division.

Kistoff Bartholomew and Ezekiel Kesar both netted twice for Civic who also had a goal each from Moredecai Brown, Gesiah Bishop and Thaj Neptune against Morvant Caledonia, who, earlier on the day, lost by default in the U-13s division against the southerners.

However the visitors had the last say, defeating Civic 2-1 in the U17s. Jaleni Augustus and Dwight Yorke scored late in the first half to cushion Morvant Caledonia against Civic who grabbed a consolation item near the end through Nkosi Charles.

Elsewhere San Juan Jabloteh, two-time reigning champions of all divisions in the last two seasons, W Connection and Police FC enjoyed clean sweeps in all divisions on Sunday.

Jabloteh defeated Club Sando 3-1, 2-0 and 3-0 in the U13, U15 and U17 divisions respectively at the San Juan North Secondary ground, while Connection, 6-1 winners over Central in the U13s, went on to defeat their Couva rivals 2-0 in the U15s before winning by default in the U17 division.

Police, meanwhile, racked up full points in all three divisions without kicking a ball as North East Stars lost by default.

Police returns against Defence Force on Sunday 12 March for Round One Match Day Two in all three divisions at Trinity East ground. Also, Central FC will host Morvant Caledonia United at St. Augustine Secondary school ground, while Club Sando face St. Ann’s Rangers at Manny Ramjohn Stadium.

Santana Smith hits four for Sando U13s in 14-0 win over Rangers.
ttproleague.com.


Goals rained at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field on Sunday morning when hosts Club Sando defeated St. Ann’s Rangers 14-0 in the Under-13 division for their first win in two attempts in the Flow 2017 Youth Pro League.

Santana Smith bagged a beaver-trick, netting in the 20th, 25th, 35th and 45th minutes for the Sando U13s, who were defeated 3-1 by San Juan Jabloteh in their opening game of the YPL season a week ago.

The Sando U13 team’s rebound, which moved them three spots up into third on the standings, also included two hat-tricks and a double under the morning sunshine, but narrowly won their Under-17 clash 2-1 against the St. Ann’s club later in the afternoon after losing by the same score in the Under-15 division.

Anthony Williams, with goals in the 4th, 9th and 39th minutes, and Jeremiah Ottway, finding the back of the Rangers net in the 11th, 59th and 63rd minutes, both ended with three goals each to their names for the Sando U13’s.

Tyrique Lucas started the Sando onslaught with the opening goal in the 2nd minute and got to his double ten minutes later. Llon Hospedales and Joshua Kesney chipped in with a goal each in the 6th and 61th minutes, respectively, to contribute to the biggest result of the new YPL season thus far.

Point Fortin Civic, however, leads the U13 standings with maximum 6 points without kicking a ball, having won their opening fixtures against Morvant Caledonia United and North East Stars by default.

Civic, who also picked up full points by default from North East Stars in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions on Sunday, also leads the U-15 standings with maximum points but sits fifth on the U17 standings having lost their opening game in that division 2-1 against Morvant Caledonia.

Police FC were unbeatable on Sunday, the little Lawmen defeating hosts Defence Force 3-1 in both the U13 and U15 division before a goalless draw in the U17’s saw both sides walk away with a point which put Police at the top in that division.

Josiah Wilson first half double, netting in the 9th and 11th minutes, set the tone for Police U13’s in the morning period. Defence Force’s Jerrell Gibboms pulled a goal back on 24 minutes but Justin Lewis restored Police’s two-goal advantage three minutes later.

Later on the day, Malachi King (9th minute), Matthias Hinkson (12th minute) and Jaden Andrews (67th minute) each scored for the Blues in the U15 division while Aiden Marcano’s 63rd-minute strike stood the only item for Defence Force.

Central FC’s Round One Match Day Two fixtures against Morvant Caledonia United, meanwhile, are to be rescheduled to another date, a request by the Couva Sharks after the death 19-year-old Nikela John, the daughter of senior team assistant coach Stern John, last Thursday.

San Juan Jabloteh, winners of all three youth divisions in the previous two seasons, also had their YPL fixtures rescheduled due to club’s management staff trip to St. Vincent for Group E play in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship—the qualifier tournament to the newly re-formatted CONCACAF expanded competitions.

So the Youth Pro League finally changed the age group categories? However, there should still be an age group positioned between the U17s and the Reserves. Is there?

Joshua Mason bags five as D/Force take basket of goals against Morv’t Caledonia in U13 clash
ttproleague.com


Joshua Mason broke into the Flow Youth Pro League 2017 scoring chart with a handful of goals last Sunday as Defence Force Under-13s registered a lopsided 12-0 win over their Morvant Caledonia United counterparts at Trinity East ground in Trincity.

The triumph snapped a two-game winless spell for the Defence Force U13s, who now have a record of 2W-1D-L, and, perhaps, inspired a 9-0 win for their Under-15s over Morvant Caledonia.

But both victories weren’t enough to spur on the Defence Force Under-17s who later fell 6-2 against the visitors despite second half goals from Joshua Ashton and Joshua Evans.

Ackeem Mason and Trevis Byron had given Morvant Caledonia U17s a two-goal cushion in the first half, netting a minute apart, before a second-half double by Dwight Yorke—his second from the penalty spot—followed by a goal each from Malik Mieres and Ethan Bonaparte quelled the hosts attempt of a comeback.

Defence Force remains without a win after four games in the U17 division and just one point, while Morvant Caledonia have six points from three games.

Morvant Caledonia, however, have lost all three outings in the U13 and U15 age groups with last Sunday being another struggle at the park and Defence Force showing no mercy against their counterparts.

Terral Gibson, who ended with a hat-trick for the Defence Force U13s, scored in the first minute of play before wrapping up the scoring with two late goals.

But Joshua Mason, with his goals in the 4th, 18th, 30th, 43rd and 50th minutes, was the star of the morning while team-mates Christopher Brooks, Jaden Seifert, Ethan Marquez and Jaheim O’Brady had a goal each.

Justin Araujo Wilson later led the Defence Force U15s with a first-half hat-trick, taking his tally this season to six goals in four games. Marc Wharfe also grabbed a hat-trick and Aiden Marcano a double before Nicholas Smith capped the 9-0 victory.

Elsewhere last Sunday, San Juan Jabloteh, champions of all divisions in the last two seasons, defeated St. Ann’s Rangers 4-0 and 3-1 in the U13 and U15 divisions, respectively, at San Juan North Secondary. But the young “San Juan Kings” dropped points for the first time this season after they were held to agoalless stalemate against the visitors in the U17 division.

North East Stars snatched full points in all divisions by default over hosts Central FC, while W Connection defeated Police FC 1-0 and 2-0 in the U15 and U17 divisions, respectively, at Gilbert Park after losing 3-0 against the U13 leaders—Police.

Club Sando hosted Point Fortin Civic at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field and enjoyed a 4-0 win over the visitors in the U13 division, but were defeated 4-1 in the U15s before both sides played to a 3-3 draw in the U17s.

Jabloteh undefeated run snapped by Police FC.
ttproleague.com.


Jayden Moore struck the winner on Sunday to give Flow Youth Pro League 2017 Under-13 leaders Police FC a 3-2 win over Jabloteh, ending the San Juan side’s undefeated run while maintaining their perfectness at the top after five games.

Nathaniel James equalised twice in the first half for Jabloteh at St. James Barracks outside field after Nathaniel Carim twice put the hosts in the lead.

But Moore, with his first goal of the season, grabbed a late Police winner to keep his side on top with 15 points, while Jabloteh slipped into fourth, although tied on 10 points with Sunday winners Defence Force and W Connection.

Police went on to record another win, defeating Jabloteh 2-0 in the Under-15 age group courtesy second-half strikes from Jaden Andrews and Jamali Nichols.

Jabloteh, however, rebounded with a 1-0 win over the hosts in the Under-17 division to maintain their lead on the standings with 13 points thanks to Kyle Thomas netting the decisive item eight minutes from time.

Point Fortin Civic moved into the U-15 standings lead with 12 points after edging visitors W Connection 1-0 through Mordecai Brown’s early item, but are only ahead of Defence Force and Jabloteh by a better goal-difference.

Defence Force, cushioned by a first-half Justin Araujo Wilson double at the Arima Velodrome, defeated host team North East Stars 3-1 in the U15s after a Joshua Mason double inspired a 2-1 win Defence Force in the U13 division.

But North East Stars stormed back in the U17 division to whip the visitors 5-2. Jaydon Prowell, Elisha Garcia, Kobe Douglas, John-Paul Rochford and Jeremiah Jobe all got on the score sheet for North East Stars while Alexi George and Jakeem Mc Neil were the scorers for Defence Force.

Elsewhere St. Ann’s Rangers defeated Central FC 5-1 and 4-0 in the U15 and U17 divisions, respectively, after losing 5-1 to the little Sharks in the U13 division.

In other U13 results, W Connection defeated Civic 2-0 and Club Sando handed Morvant Caledonia United their fifth straight loss with an 8-0 hammering.

Morvant Caledonia, though, held Sando to a 3-3 draw in the U15 division before finishing with a 5-1 win in the U17s.

Justin Araujo Wilson hat-trick propel Defence Force U15s top in Flow YPL.
ttproleague.com.


Justin Araujo Wilson banged in second hat-trick of the 2017 Flow Youth Pro League (YPL) last Sunday to put Defence Force at the top of the Under-15 standings with a 3-0 win over Central FC ahead of the Easter break.

Wilson, last season’s runaway YPL top-scorer, scored his 9th, 10th and 11th goals of this season in the 2nd, 29th and 54th minutes against the visiting Central at Trinity East to lead the overall scorers’ list for 2017.

The Defence Force U15s, however, are tied on 15 points with second-place Jabloteh after the San Juan club edged previous leaders Point Fortin Civic 1-0 at San Juan North Secondary courtesy a second-minute Micai Peters strike.

Jabloteh were big winners in the Under-13 division with a 10-0 romp over Civic, and completed the trifecta against the southerners with a 2-0 win in the Under-17 division.

Nathaniel James and Kanye Baker each bagged a hat-trick while Jaheim Faustin ended with a double and Nkosi Ambrose and Israel Joseph with a goal each for the Jabloteh U13s.

The impressive scoreline moved Jabloteh up two spots into second behind leaders Police and ahead of third-place W Connection by goal-difference.

Jodel Brown and Kyle Thomas both scored for Jabloteh U17s as the hosts maintained their grip of top spot in the division three points ahead of second-place W Connection who edged Morvant Caledonia United 1-0.

Connection, like Jabloteh, ended the day on a clean sweep after defeating Morvant Caledonia 4-0 and 2-1 in the U13 and U15 divisions, respectively.

Defence Force, however, didn’t enjoy such success after they were defeated 3-2 by Central in the U13 division. Central also ended with triumph in the U17 division edging Defence Force 2-1 for their first win of the season.

YPL action resumes on Sunday April 23 following the Easter break.

Jabloteh U13s crush cellar-placed Morv’t Caledonia 12-0 but Police maintain five-point lead
ttproleague.com.


San Juan Jabloteh resumed play in the Flow Youth Pro League 2017 with a 12-0 hammering of cellar-placed Morvant Caledonia United in the Under-13 division last Sunday.

Jabloteh, pushing for a “triple treble” this season having won all three divisions in the past two seasons, also defeated Morvant Caledonia 3-0 and 1-0 in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions, respectively.

Nathaniel James led the visitors’ U13 scoring with five goals to his name, first converting a penalty in the third minute at the Maracas St. Joseph Recreation Ground. James, possibly recharged by the Easter break, also found the back of the net in the 9th, 22nd, 35th and 70th minutes, putting his tally at 11 goals this season to lead the U13 scorers’ list.

Teammates Israel Joseph (64th and 68th minutes) and Nkosi Ambrose (34th and 35th minutes) each grabbed a double while Lindell Sween (10th minute), Jaheim Faustin (17th minute) and Ezekiel Stapleton (63rd minute) also capitalised on the goal-feast as the hosts remain slumped at the bottom of the U13 standings without a point after seven games.

Jabloteh (16 points), though, remain second behind runaway leaders Police FC (21 points), who defeated Central FC 4-2 for a seventh straight win in as many matches.

Police, like Jabloteh, enjoyed a trifecta on the day, by also winning against Central 2-0 and 4-1 in the U15 and U17 divisions, respectively, at St. James Barracks outside field. 

Club Sando (13 points) moved up a spot into third on the U13 standings with a 2-1 win over mid-table Defence Force, hurdling W Connection by goal-difference after the young “Savonetta Boys” were edged 3-2 by North East Stars.

In the U15 division, Sherwin Mulzac, Jael Mason, Terrell Wiley each had a goal in the first half to earn Jabloteh victory over Morvant Caledonia, to keep the San Juan side within striking distance of U15 leaders Defence Force, who defeated Club Sando by the same score-line.

Both teams are tied on 18 points with Defence Force only ahead of Jabloteh by goal-difference. Point Fortin Civic and Police follow in third and fourth place, respectively, tied on 15 points.

Jabloteh, however, are five points clear at the top of the U17 standings thanks to Rivaldo Coryat’s late strike against Morvant Caledonia.

Coryat, with his first goal of the season, snatched the winner with two minutes left as Jabloteh (19 points) extended their gap on rivals W Connection (14 points), who were held to a goalless draw by North East Stars.

It was another disappointing result for Connection, who surrendered a two-goal cushion, courtesy a Jaden Grant first-half double, to lose 3-2 in the U13 division against the hosts North East Stars at the Arima Velodrome.

However the visitors, Connection, were winners in the U15 division, rebounding from a deficit three minutes into the game to edge North East Stars 2-1 through second-half strikes from Nicholas Dyett and Jamal Lewis.

Police U13s rain goals on Morvant Caledonia Utd in sunny Maracas.
ttproleague.com.


Police FC Under-13 players struck a pot of goals under the sunshine of last Sunday when they whipped Morvant Caledonia United 11-0 at the Maracas Recreation Ground in the final match-day of Round One in the 2017 Flow Youth Pro League.

Nathaniel Carrim ended with a second-half hat-trick, taking his tally to nine goals in as many matches for the Blues, while team-mates Jayden Moore, Jaron Pascall and Tyreke Harding each had a double, and Fabien Ayres and Imani Lewis one each in the comfortable Police U13s win.

It wasn’t, however, the heaviest defeat suffered by the table-propping Morvant Caledonia U13s who remain without a point and a game in hand against another side without a point, St. Ann’s Rangers.

Morvant Caledonia who were twice defeated 12-0 this season (against Defence Force on 26 March and San Juan Jabloteh on 23 April), suffered the worst loss in all divisions this season, 13-0 in a rescheduled clash against Central FC on 30 March.

The latest double-figure, however, kept Police (27 points) at the summit of the U13 standings, five points clear of closest challengers San Juan Jabloteh, who leads the Under-15 and Under-17 standings.

Nathaniel James scored his 13th, 14th and 15th goals of the season to steer Jabloteh U13s to a 4-2 win over Defence Force at Trinity East in Trincity.

Jabloteh also defeated the hosts 1-0 and 2-0 in the U15 and U17 divisions, respectively, to complete the trifecta as did Police against their Morvant Caledonia U15 and U17 counterparts.

Matthias Hinkson, Ajay Ward and Jardel Joslyn, with his first Police goal this season, each scored against Morvant Caledonia U15s for a 3-1 victory. Jardell Mitchell scored the lone Morvant Caledonia U15 goal which turned out the only item for the hosts last Sunday after the U17s outfit fell 3-0 against Police.

Zion Mc Leod, Romario Burke and Kareem Grant were the latest heroes for Police, who occupy fifth position on the U17 standings, and will next travel to Ojoe Road Recreation Ground in Sangre Grande against North East Stars on Sunday 13 May.

Darius Douglas trick not enough as Rangers U15s edged by Defence Force counterparts in Flow YPL
ttproleague.com.


Darius Douglas scored his second hat-trick of the season last Saturday but it wasn’t enough as the attacking midfielder and his St. Ann’s Rangers Under-15 team-mates were edged 4-3 by Defence Force in Round Two Match Day One of the Flow Youth Pro League 2017.

Douglas, now with 9 league goals this season, scored in the 51st, 55th and 57th minutes to overturn a two-goal first half deficit after hosts Defence Force took into the break a two nil lead courtesy a Joshua Samuel double (37th & 39th minutes).

But unlike his hat-trick in a 5-1 win against Central FC on 2 April, Douglas’ latest exploit came in a losing result at Trinity College East in Trincity.

Defence Force had struck back twice within a space of three minutes, grabbing the equaliser through Jeremiah Williams in the 78th minute, and the winner from Marc Wharfe ten minutes from time to maintain second spot on the U15 standings with 22 points.

San Juan Jabloteh (27 points) maintained their five-point lead at the top of the U15 standings with a 2-0 win over Club Sando thanks to a Micai Peters double, separated by the half.

Third-place Police FC (20 points) were slowed by North East Stars, who held the Blues to a 1-1 draw. W Connection (19 points) meanwhile, hurdled Point Fortin Civic (17 points) for third.

Adica Ash’s late item earned Connection a narrow 1-0 win over Central at the D’Abadie Recreation Ground in Arima, while Civic were held to a 2-2 draw by Morvant Caledonia United at Maracas Recreation Ground in St. Joseph.

Morvant Caledonia, who lost 3-1 in the Under-13 division against the visiting Civic, later handed over all three points by default in the Under-17 division.

Defence Force U13s were the biggest winners of last Saturday, ending a four-game losing streak with a 7-2 win over Rangers.

Joshua Mason scored a beaver-trick, finding the back of the visitors’ net in the 13th, 18th, 30th and 66th minutes, for the Defence Force U13s, who also had a double from Terrell Gibson and an item from Christopher Brooks.

Defence Force moved up two spots into fifth with 13 points on the U13 standings, but are still a long way from leaders Police FC (30 points), who, perfect at the top with maximum points after ten games, got their latest victory by edging North East Stars 2-1.

Rangers, though, remain anchored at the bottom and without a point as Morvant Caledonia.

Rangers, however, stormed back in the U17 division to defeat Defence Force 4-0 and hurdle North East Stars (18 points) by goal-difference for third spot, one point behind W Connection but five points adrift of leaders Jabloteh, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Club Sando.

Naphtali Carrington opened the scoring for Rangers U17s after just three minutes, but it was not until in the last 17 minutes of the game that the St. Ann’s side ran away with the comfortable result.

Che Benny, the winner of the Flow Ultimate Football Experience 2017, notched his sixth goal of the season ahead of his VIP experience at Manchester United later this week. Nkosi Salandy scored Rangers’ third item on 82 minutes and Kesean St. Rose made it 4-0 in the 90th-minute.

Stars revel in Point, Police U13s held while W Connection and Jabloteh share spoils in Claxton Bay
ttproleague.com.


Police FC Under-13’s ten-game winning stretch came to a halt last Sunday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by visiting Defence Force at the St. James Barracks outside field in Round Two Match Day Two action of the Flow Youth Pro League 2017.

Double-scorer Nathaniel Carrim rescued a point for the little Blues, who remained unbeaten at the summit of the U13 standings with 31 points, but only three points ahead of second-place San Juan Jabloteh who edged W Connection 1-0 courtesy a 65th-minute Nathaniel James strike—his sixteenth goal of the season.

Carrim had given Police a 17th-minute lead which was overturned by Defence Force through a double from Darion Marfan, who netted in the 18th and 38th minutes. But Carrim had the last say pulling Police level in the 61st minute.

Police also had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Defence Force in the Under-15 division. Mathias Hinkson’s 72nd-minute item levelled the game after Defence Force’s Jasiel Edwards had the visitors ahead on 33 minutes.

Defence Force weren’t done there. Their Under-17 side also grabbed a point on the day, only their second of the season and remains bottom of the table, by holding Police to a 2-2 draw.

Ojorie Kanneth had Defence Force ahead in the first minute of play, but his side needed a Shaquem Bleasdell equaliser 20 minutes from time to avoid a tenth defeat of the season after Jabari Boyce (34th minute) had levelled Police and Zion Mc Leod (51st minute) put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot.

Also in the U17 category, W Connection held leaders San Juan Jabloteh to a 2-2 draw on Saturday but had to settle for slipping into third after North East Stars wrapped up their Sunday visit at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin with a 4-0 win over hosts Point Fortin Civic.

Jaydon Prowell scored twice for the North East Stars U17s while Keyon Boney and John-Paul Rochford had a goal each to complete the trifecta for North East Stars who earlier defeated Civic 3-0 and 1-0 in the U13 and U15 divisions.

Elsewhere, Kesean St. Rose scored on the hour mark to give St. Ann’s Rangers a narrow 1-0 win over Club Sando in the U17 division at St. Augustine Secondary School.

Rangers had also defeated Club Sando 4-0 in the U15 division with a hat-trick from Keron Manswell and an opening item from Darius Douglas.

Sando, though, had the first victory of the day, defeating Rangers 2-0 with a double from Darion Marfan.

‘King’ James hit six for Jabloteh U-13s, taking tally to 22 in 12.
ttproleague.com.


Nathaniel James continued his brilliant scoring form this season a week ago, netting six goals in a 7-1 San Juan Jabloteh win over Central FC in the Under-13 division of the Flow 2017 Youth Pro League last Sunday.

Jaheim Faustin opened the scoring in the second minute for Jabloteh before James, who took his tally to 22 goals after twelve games this season, stole the show at the D’Abadie Recreation Ground in Arima with goals in the 9th, 20th, 33rd, 54th, 65th and 70th minutes to give the San Juan side a seventh straight win.

Jabloteh (31 points) maintained their place in second on the U13 standings, three points adrift of leaders Police FC (34 points), who had simultaneously held off Club Sando 2-0 at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field with a goal each from Nathaniel Carrim and Isaiah Joseph on either side of the break.

Third-place W Connection (25 points) kept up their chase on the leaders with a 6-0 win over visiting St. Ann’s Rangers at Union Recreation Ground in Claxton Bay, while North East Stars (19 points) and Defence Force (17 points), in fourth and fifth respectively, were also in winners’ row.

Stars defeated visitors Morvant Caledonia United 4-1 at the Arima Velodrome while Defence Force were big winners, whipping Point Fortin Civic 7-1 in a comeback win at the Trinity East College in Trincity.

San Juan Jabloteh also topped Central FC in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions, 3-0 and 3-2 respectively, to maintain their place at the top of both divisions.

The U15 and U17 standings remained unchanged after last week Sunday.

Today, action in all three U13 (10), U15 (2pm) and U17 (4pm) divisions, North East Stars welcome Central at the Arima Velodrome, Defence Force travels against Morvant Caledonia United at Maracas Recreation Ground and Point Fortin Civic host Club Sando at Mahaica Oval.

Nathaniel James double lifts Jabloteh U13s over Police; San Juan Kings leads all in 2017 Flow YPL
ttproleague.com


San Juan Jabloteh, for the first time this season, are holding the lead in all three divisions in the 2017 Flow Youth Pro League.

Jabloteh, champions of all divisions in the previous two seasons, have held top spots in this season’s Under-17 and Under-15 divisions since March 19 and April 30, respectively. But the defending champions have been trailing Police FC in the Under-13 division since April 9.

That’s until last Sunday though.

The little San Juan Kings, lifted by a double from leading scorer Nathaniel James, registered a 4-1 win over their Police U13 counterparts at San Juan North Secondary school ground in Bourg Mulatresse to hurdle the visitors for top spot on the standings, albeit separated only by a monstrous goal-difference (+60/+32).

James notched his 26th and 27th items of the season by hitting the back of the Police net in the 4th and 18th minutes, respectively, for the Jabloteh U13s.

Jaheim Faustin had made it two-nil on 6 minutes with his tenth goal of the season before Police’s Jaheim Manswell sliced the hosts’ lead in the 10th-minute.

But after James’ second item and Deshawn Brown making it 4-1 two minutes before the break, and a scoreless second half, both teams are now tied on 37 points.

Defence Force, the only other side to take points from Police U13s this season with a 2-2 draw on May 21, were held to a 3-3 draw by visiting North East Stars at Trinity College East on Sunday.

Later on the day Nicholas Smith snatched the winner as Defence Force U15s edged the Stars 2-1 after an own goal by the hosts had levelled a second-half item by Trinidad and Tobago U15 forward Justin Araujo-Wilson.

Stars, however, stormed back in the U17 division thump the cellar-placed Defence Force 6-0.

T&T U17 player Kishawn Hackshaw provided a second-half double for the Stars while national teammate John-Paul Rochford, Jorel Grant, Jonathan Glodon, and Keon Boney, who debuted for the Stars top-flight Pro League team in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Point Fortin Civic, each had a goal.

The victory kept the Stars three points adrift of U17 leaders Jabloteh (33 points), who edged Police 1-0 courtesy a 74th-minute Rivaldo Coryat strike, while W Connection (26 points) hurdled St. Ann’s Rangers for third.

Connection, who started the day with 5-0 win over visiting Civic in the U13 division, ended the day at Union Recreation Ground in similar fashion by defeating the Point Fortin side 5-0 in the U17 category.

Jevaughn Humphrey, who scored four goals a week ago in Connection’s 5-4 win over Police, grabbed a doubled against Civic while team-mates Caleb Gasper, Denilson Benjamin and Tyrike Andrews each had a goal.

Civic, though, didn’t return home empty-handed. A second-half converted penalty by Ezekiel Kezar had earned them a narrow 1-0 win over Connection in the U15 division.

Civic moved up a spot into fourth, but are 13 points away from U15 leaders Jabloteh (36 points).

A double from Micai Peters separated by a strike from team-mate Tyrese Pierre earned Jabloteh a 3-1 win over Police to stretch their lead to nine points.

Play in the Flow YPL continues on Thursday with Point Fortin Civic hosting Central FC in rescheduled U13, U15 and U17 fixtures at Mahaica Oval.

Also on Thursday, St. Ann’s Rangers will host Morvant Caledonia United from 10am at St. Augustine Secondary ground in a rescheduled U13 fixture.

On Saturday all teams will return to action in Round Two Match Day Six at venues across Trinidad. Defence Force will host Central at Trinity College East; North East Stars will welcome Club Sando at Ojoe Road Recreation Ground in Sangre Grande; San Juan Jabloteh travels to Mahaica Oval against Civic; St. Ann’s Rangers will visit neighbours Police FC at St. James Barracks, and Morvant Caledonia United are hosts to W Connection.

Jabloteh U-13s spank Police for lead
By Nigel Simon, Guardian.


Nathaniel James scored a first-half brace to lead San Juan Jabloteh to a convincing 4-1 whipping of previous leaders Police FC in the Under-13 Division of the Flow Youth Pro League last Sunday.

James opened the scoring as early as the fourth minute at the San Juan North Secondary Ground, Bourg Mulatresse, San Juan and two minutes later Jaheim Faustin, the son of former national midfielder Marvin Faustin made it 2-0.

However, Police, which entered the match unbeaten in its previous 13 matches, pulled a goal back in the tenth, only for James to get his second for Jabloteh while Deshawn Brown added another in the 33rd for a 4-1 at the half-time lead which it held until the final whistle in the 70th minute.

With the win, Jabloteh joined Police on 37 points from 14 matches, but with a superior goal-difference of plus 60 to the letters’ plus-32 while third placed W Connection has 28 points after its 5-0 blow out of Pt Fortin Civic at Union Recreation Grounds.

It was a great weekend for the Jabloteh youth teams as their Under-15 and Under-17 also won their respective matches to stay top of their respective divisions.

Jabloteh Under-15s got a double from Micai Peters in the 31st and 52nd minutes after Tyrese Pierre opened the scoring in the 20th minute for a 3-1 win over Police which got its lone reply from Malachi King in the 45th.

The win lifted Jabloteh to 36 points, nine more than second placed Police while Defence Force, third with 26 points was held to a 3-3 draw by North East Stars at Trinity College East, Trincity.

And in the Under-17 age-group, Jabloteh completed the sweep of Police courtesy a 1-0 win with Rivaldo Coryat the scorer in the 74th minute to move to 33 points, three ahead of North East Stars which hammered Defence Force 6-0 capped by a double from Kishawn Hackshawn, in the 66th and 69th.

It would be a brave and erroneous decision to send Police FC to Mexico for the U-13 tournament after the result of the head to head battle between the teams.

Nathaniel James adds beaver in latest Jabloteh U13s exploit; Police slam Rangers U13s 10-0 to keep chase.
ttproleague.com.


Nathaniel James scored his first beaver-trick of the Flow Youth Pro League 2017 season last Saturday to lead San Juan Jabloteh Under-13s to a 5-1 away win at Point Fortin Civic while putting his tally to an incredible 31 goals this term.

However it wasn’t James’ best scoring feat in a game this season, having scored a six goals in a 7-1 win over Central FC on May 28 and five against Morvant Caledonia United in a 12-0 win on April 23.

But James’ latest exploit made sure the Under-13 leaders Jabloteh (40 points), with their tenth straight win, remain ahead of Police FC, albeit only goal difference (+64/+42).

Police, ambitious of returning to the top of the standings, had slammed cellar-placed St. Ann’s Rangers 10-0 at the St. James Barracks outside field to keep on the heels of Jabloteh.

Nathaniel Carrim finished with a hat-trick for the little Blues while Jaheim Marshall, Tyreke Harding and Josiah Wilson each scored a double and Isaiah Thomas had one to his name.

On the opposite end of the country, leading scorer Nathaniel James, who also have three hat-tricks this season, was celebrating his 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st goals of the 2017 FYPL with strikes in the 15th, 17th, 31st and 57th minutes against Civic at Mahaica Oval.

Kyle Dwarika also got on the score sheet for Jabloteh before Kanye Francis netted a consolation item for Civic near the end.

W Connection, nine points behind in third, kept their chase on the leaders with a 6-1 win over Morvant Caledonia at San Juan North Secondary school ground with Molik Khan, Dereem Hamilton, Dantaye Gilbert, Jordel Francois, Chaz Forde and Jkwon Bailey all on the score sheet.

Connection also defeated Morvant Caledonia 4-1 and 5-1 in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions for a clean sweep which included a hat-trick from in-form U17 attacker Jevaughn Humphrey.

Jabloteh, though, continues to also lead both U15 and U17 divisions although failing to register a perfect day at Mahaica Oval.

Tyrese Riley, for his first Jabloteh goal this season, levelled the visitors for a 1-1 finish in the U15 division after Ezekeil Kezar had put Civic in front in the second half.

But goals by Nickell Orr, Lukman Brooks and Kidane Lewis completed Jabloteh’s visit with victory in the U17s.

Elsewhere Defence Force and Central played to a 1-1 draw in the U15 division before the Couva Sharks ended the day with a 5-2 win over the Army in a bottom-of-the-table U17 clash.

Play in the U15s and U17s between North East Stars and Club Sando, and Police FC and St. Ann’s Rangers were postponed due to heavy afternoon rainfall at the D’Abadie Recreation Ground and St. James Barracks outside field.

FYPL action resumes on Sunday in north, central and south Trinidad.

Jabloteh wins U15 crown while U13 and U17 teams run riot on Morv't Caledonia 17-0 and 11-0 respectively.
ttproleague.com.


San Juan Jabloteh are the champions of the 2017 Flow Youth Pro League Under-15 division, completing a three-peat in the middle division with two games to spare.

Tyrese Pierre, with only his second goal of the season, earned the eventual champions, Jabloteh, a 1-0 win over tail-enders Morvant Caledonia United last Sunday at the San Juan North Secondary School ground.

Jabloteh, champions of all divisions in the previous two seasons, have amounted an unassailable 40 points in the U15 division, leaving Point Fortin Civic (30 points), Police FC (30 points and a game in hand) and W Connection (29 points) in a tight race for second.

Jabloteh’s Under-13 and Under-17 sides are also hoping to complete the three-peat this season, and maintained their places at the top of the respective standings with impressive score-lines against their neighbours.

Jabloteh U13s, led by a handful from goal-machine Nathaniel James, trashed Morvant Caledonia 17-0—the biggest win of the season—in the first game of the day at the Bourg Malatrese venue.

James, who scored his first beaver-trick a week ago, went one better by scoring five times—his new personal best of a game in the FYPL—to put his tally at 36 goals this season, while teammates Jaheim Faustin and Trevlon Weekes scored a hat-trick and double respectively.

Lindell Sween, Kanye Baker, Kyle Dwarika, Nkosi Ambrose, Hakim Lord, Israel Joseph chipped in with a goal each for Jabloteh, and an own goal on the hour mark also contributed to the heavy Morvant Caledonia U13s defeat.

Jabloteh (43 points) though, are only ahead of Police FC on the U13 standings by a superior goal-difference and must face North East Stars and Defence Force in remaining matches this season.

Police, meanwhile, kept level on points in the two-team U-13 title chase with a 3-1 win over Central FC and are against Point Fortin Civic and Morvant Caledonia in their remaining matches.

Jaheim Marshall scored a first-half double at the D'Abadie Recreation Ground for the little Blues and Nathaniel Carrim made it three nil in the second half before Kyle Ramdoo grabbed a consolation item for the Couva Sharks who went on to lose 2-1 in the U15s, but held Police to a 2-2 draw in the U17s.

Jabloteh U17s however, moved closer to the divisions crown with an 11-0 mauling of Morvant Caledonia, who conceded four from the penalty spot.

Eight points clear at the top of the U17 standings with two games left, Jabloteh (39 points) got goals Nickel Orr, who ended with a hat-trick, a double from Jodel Brown, and a goal each from Lukman Brooks, Tyrese Bailey, Emmanuel John, Kidane Lewis, Roshawn Laidow and Trevin Thomas.

Second-placed North East Stars (31 points and a game in hand) are the only team with a mathematical chance at upsetting Jabloteh to the U17 crown, but dropped vital points in a 2-2 draw against third-placed W Connection (30 points).

Jabloteh U17s are FYPL 2017 champions, while U13s maintain course for record-breaking third consecutive clean sweep
ttproleague.com.


Record-smashing San Juan Jabloteh are one Under-13-win away from completing a historic "triple triple" in the (Flow) Youth Pro League.

Jabloteh, who became the first club to successfully defend all divisions in the Youth Pro League last season, completed the three-peat in the mid-division by becoming FYPL 2017 Under-15 champions a week ago, and yesterday celebrated a parallel feat in the Under-17 division after earning a valuable point in a 2-2 draw against North East Stars on the penultimate day.

First-half goals by Jodel Brown -- from the penalty spot -- and Sownde Preito in the 5th and 23rd minutes respectively, at George Boyce Recreation Ground in Arima, eventually put coach Gilbert Bateau’s side’s tally at an unassailable 40 points ahead of their final game against Defence Force next Sunday at San Juan North Secondary ground.

North East Stars were level courtesy a Jonathan Glodon strike in the 12th minute, then for a second time through Trinidad and Tobago U17 attacker, Keshawn Hackshaw, who converted from the penalty spot eight minutes from time.

However the point earned wasn't enough to keep alive the Stars’ mathematical chance at upstaging the eventual U17 champions, San Juan Jabloteh—a side that has contributed heavily to the current T&T national U17 player pool.

Instead, North East Stars (32 points), with a game in hand and left in a battle for second, slipped a spot into third, hurdled by W Connection (33 points), who had defeated Defence Force 2-0 at Trinity College East ground in Trincity.

Bateau, who serves as Jabloteh’s head coach of the club’s youth system, but more specifically the U17 team, said accomplishments of recent years are evidence of the work done by him and other coaches at the club.

He said, however, “It’s still a work in progress. It’s no secret what we are helping these kids to understand what it takes to play at a higher level abroad while trying to complement what the national setup is doing under (Trinidad and Tobago senior team head coach) Dennis Lawrence.”

Bateau, whose focus is on improving the speed of play in a holistic approach, also serves the club’s professional team as assistant coach to technical director/head coach Keith Jeffrey and had served various national men’s and women’s teams as physical trainer.

Bateau, the father of professional footballers Sheldon and Sean Bateau, said he is driven daily by his promise to try and improve the life of youths through sport.

“We don’t take away joy of playing the football at Jabloteh, to be able to play to the best of your ability,” he explained. “We don’t focus on winning first, and maybe we did it right, playing with so much intensity that it becomes an almost given that the wins will happen.”

Jabloteh had kicked off yesterday’s play with an important 5-0 win over North East Stars in the Under-13 division—a result that kept the San Juan Kings atop the division’s standings, but only ahead of Police FC on a superior goal-difference, ahead of their final game next Sunday against Defence Force and Morvant Caledonia United respectively.

Jabloteh’s goal-machine, Nathaniel James, bagged a hat-trick for the U13s, before putting his tally this term to a record-smashing 40 goals with a goal for the U15 champions in a 3-1 win over North East Stars, while U13 teammate Jaheim Faustin had a double.

Nathaniel Carrim, simultaneously, scored his 18th goal of the season in a 7-0 Police U13 win over hosts Point Fortin Civic at Mahaica Oval.

Jaheim Marshall scored a hat-trick and Josiah Wilson a double, while Jarron Pascall was also on the scoresheet in the first half as little Blues made light work of Civic to keep their alive their shot at the U13 title till the final day.

W Connection, who already secured the third-place finish in the U13s, were held to a 2-2 draw by Defence Force before defeating the hosts 4-2 and 2-0 in the U15 and U17 divisions respectively.

Connection moved two spots up the U15 standings into second, and like on the U17 ladder, the Savonetta Boys are left in a battle for runners-up behind FYPL U15 champions San Juan Jabloteh.

Triple three-peat San Juan Kings: Jabloteh complete Flow YPL 2017 clean sweep with U13, U15, U17 titles
ttproleague.com.


San Juan Jabloteh finished champions of the Flow 2017 Youth Pro League Under-13 division on the final day, yesterday, becoming the first club in the history of the league to win all divisions of the YPL three times in a row.

The history rewriting 'triple triple' champion club won Under-15 division, with two games to spare, on June 25, and a week later (July 2), secured the Under-17 crown on the penultimate day.

And yesterday, the final day of the 2017 campaign, the San Juan Kings U13s, with a 2-0 win over Defence Force, were celebrating as champions too, securing another historic moment for a club that have lifted the bar once more.

Jabloteh U13s, a side on 12 straight wins, needed nothing less than another victory after Police FC, the only side with a shot at upstaging them for the title, went ahead by three points before kick-off with a win by default over Morvant Caledonia United at St. James Barracks.

But with a helping leg, Jabloteh went ahead in just the second minute against Defence Force though an own goal by defender Brendon Ramjattan, who inadvertently put an attempted clearance into his own net at the San Juan North Secondary School ground.

Half hour later, Tyrell Inniss, with his first goal of the season, cushioned the eventual champions 2-0—a result they took to the final whistle. Jabloteh (49 points) finishing ahead of Police on a superior goal difference (+88/+54).

Police, creditably, had given a superb run this season, but when the dust settled yesterday, only one champion team stood tallest. Ironically, Jabloteh, led by a double from this season’s record-smashing scorer Nathaniel James (40 goals in all competitions), had defeated Police 4-1 on June 11, overtaking the Blues for top spot and held on till the end.

Yesterday, Jabloteh U15 and U17 champion sides also ended the season with wins, defeating Defence Force 2-0 and by default respectively.

San Juan Jabloteh technical director and senior team head coach Keith Jeffrey praised the work of Dave Weeks (Under-13), Andre Morales and Junior Neptune (Under-15), and Gilbert Bateau (Under-17) and for believing in the club’s philosophy.

“For a long time people will continue being envious of what we have achieved as a club,” Jeffrey said of Jabloteh, who won all divisions in 2015, then raised the bar by successfully defending all age groups in 2016, now doing so again 2017.

"As the technical director I have set certain standards that we are to work by in keeping with the Jabloteh philosophy," continued Jeffrey. "And its also great to see that even the new coaches (Andre Morales and Junior Neptune) have bought into the Jabloteh way, and together with the players we are celebrating an incredible achievement." 

All winning teams of 2017, will be honoured at Thursday’s FYPL awards ceremony which would also reveal individual top performers. But for the near two hundred plus youngsters that make up the San Juan Jabloteh youth programme, nothing can beat the new ‘triple triple’ record they have achieved.

Predictably, history-rewriting San Juan Jabloteh, Nathaniel James, Justin Araujo-Wilson, Jevaughn Humphrey top Flow Youth Pro League 2017 awards.
ttproleague.com.


San Juan Jabloteh scooped twelve of the twenty-five top gongs, including the Club of the Year honour, when the Flow Youth Pro League hosted its 2017 awards at the VIP Lounge of the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Thursday.

The San Juan Kings rewrote the history books, yet again, in the just concluded FYPL #wherestarsareborn by becoming champions of all three (Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17) divisions for a third consecutive time #tripletriplechampions and it didn’t come a surprise the club topped the awards ceremony.

Nathaniel James, Jabloteh’s U13 star striker, led with the division’s MVP, Most Outstanding Forward and Most Goals awards. Jabloteh’s Tyrell Wiley and Emmanuel John received the awards for Most Outstanding U15 Midfielder and Most Outstanding U17 Goalkeeper respectively.

Nathaniel James’ 40 goals in all divisions (39 for the U13s and 1 for the U15s) in 2017 also stands a new YPL record, smashing the amounts achieved previously by players such as current Honduras-based forward Jerrel Britto a decade ago, and 2016 U13 top-scorer, Justin Araujo-Wilson.

Araujo-Wilson, of SKHY FC—the adopted youth club of Defence Force, was also a standout among those honoured on Thursday. The now, almost-6-foot, Under-15 forward received the division’s MVP, Most Outstanding Forward and Most Goals (14) awards while W Connection’s Jevaughn Humphrey got the awards for Most Outstanding Forward and Most Goals in the Under-17s.

Che Benny, who is currently away on trial at Sweden’s Allmänna Idrottsklubben (AIK), was named the U17 MVP.

“It’s a great feeling to motivate you to work harder each year and become the best that you can be, so that you can try to do better the next season and the season after that,” said Araujo-Wilson on receiving another top-scorer award.

“I’m working on becoming a professional player,” continued the Fatima College and Trinidad and Tobago Under-15 footballer. “…that’s my dream, and I won’t stop until it happens. It’s just to keep on working and keep on doing my thing.”

Winning another Most Goals award, however, came a shock to the talented forward, who missed more than half his team’s outings due to training and competition with the national U15 team.

“…to put the ball in the back of the net is (always) a good feeling in your heart and your soul, to know that you have contributed to the team,” Araujo-Wilson added. “This season I was actually surprised. I came out with 14 goals and (…) a good goal to game ratio to be proud of. I am truly blessed to get these awards.”

Araujo-Wilson also praised the achievement of new record scorer of a season, Nathan James, saying, “Nathaniel is an amazing young player, scoring 40 goals this season, and I can tell he has a great future in the Pro League and international football also.”

The pint-sized Nathaniel had a hard time balancing three awards during photocalls, perhaps far a contrast in the ease he had in banging in the goals all season. His warm smile, humility, and of course his ability on the pitch, however, could only mean more proud moments for parents Dahlia Pierre-James and Mark James.

An aspiring professional international footballer, Nathaniel already has a blueprint of his immediate, midterm and long-term goals. “Make the national U15 team then upwards. Attain eight CSEC passes. Play professionally abroad,” said the La Horquetta-born Queen’s Royal College student.

“I enjoyed (the) season,” he said of his successful debut season in the FYPL. “I enjoyed having the experience of the Pro League team; training three days a week and game on a Sunday. I enjoyed the experience of playing amongst many talented players.

“(Now) I feel proud of myself although I didn’t expect I would score many goals.”

Jabloteh secured the 2017 U15 crown, with two games to spare, on June 25, and a week later (July 2), secured the U17 title on the penultimate day. And on the final day, last Sunday, held off a sterling challenge by Police FC to record a staggering triple three-peat.

Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene applauded Jabloteh on “possibly (an) unassailable achievement”. The former Trinidad and Tobago footballer and coach told the players present, “…even though some of you don’t receive awards, you are all winners just by participating and making a decision to improve yourself.”

“I knew this FYPL was going to be a thrilling season,” said Cindy-Ann Gatt, director of marketing at Flow. “We have some of our best, most talented young players in a competition that is our version of the international FA Cup – spirited, determined young players, giving their all in every match. It goes to show that the Trinidad and Tobago football legacy is far from over.”

Gatt, who said her company wants to play its part in seeing T&T qualify for other FIFA World Cups, reminded players that there are a lot of lessons to be learnt on the field that would only make them better, stronger footballers.

She added, “When Flow signed up to be become a partner with the Youth Pro League we didn't anticipate just how rewarding this would be. As a partner, the YPL has elevated Flow not just from the perspective of brand visibility, but the partnership has reinforced our passion for sport and youth and the development of both areas. We are also extremely satisfied to be in a partnership which promotes the development of young men in sport; particularly when we are hearing disturbing stories about young men in our country. We hope we have been able to help you go in the right direction of self-determination and self-respect.”

Dave Weeks, Andre Morales and Gilbert Bateau, all of San Juan Jabloteh, received the FYPL Coach of the Year awards for U13, U15 and U17 respectively.

Weekes, who has served Jabloteh for almost two decades, and Bateau were also recognized for their contribution to football youth football along with club chairman Jerry Hospedales and team administrator Phillip Fraser. W Connection longstanding U13 coach and former national footballer, Leonson Lewis, was also recognised for his contribution to youth football while team administrator Debbie-Ann Harewood received the FYPL Administrator of the Year award.

The youth system of football is coming up very short . The lack of a consistent philosophy in player development has produced inconsistent results.

The youth leagues are all well and good but without a clear vision for the final product would only continue to
breed mediocrity.

The Pro league,Super league and National teams all reflect this. Why do we continue to go along the same path without trying  make change ?

The head coaches,Technical Directors and people in charge of Football Organizations should try to work together to make real change in the area of Youth player development.

We are falling far behind in this area and we have the potential to do far better.

Flow Youth Pro League is environment where true development can take place says Skeene.
ttproleague.com.


The Flow Youth Pro League will, for the first time, include a knockout competition within its 2018 calendar which runs from February 18 through to May 27.

This along with increased television coverage by WISports (Flow channel 97) and heightened social media involvement were revealed during the Flow Youth Pro League 2018 launch on Wednesday at the VIP Lounge of the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port-of-Spain.

“[The Flow Youth Pro League] is an environment where true development can take place,” said Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene during his opening remarks. “(…) as there is a week between games where recovery of the players can take place and most importantly coaching and preparation for the next weekend’s game. This Flow Youth Pro League attracts the best talent in the country and is structured in such a way to ensure greater competitiveness.”

A combined thirty teams representing the ten (10) Pro League clubs (Central FC, Club Sando, Defence Force FC, Morvant Caledonia United, North East Stars, Point Fortin Civic, Police FC, San Juan Jabloteh, St. Ann's Rangers and W Connection), will compete across three divisions: Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 every Sunday from 10am, 2pm and 4pm respectively.

The league format, however, has been truncated to one round (February 18 – April 22) before second phase of the season (April 29 – May 27) features the inaugural knockout.

Last season Jabloteh produced the triple-triple, setting a new benchmark by becoming the first club to win all three divisions of the Flow Y-League three years in a row.

“The Flow Youth Pro League will continue to have a dynamic approach to youth football in T&T,” explained Skeene. “We will afford teams this year the opportunity to play two competitions and so be in line to win two competitions. This will bring further interest and generate excitement to the Flow Youth Pro League brand.

“Most importantly, the Flow Youth League will once again be on your television screens, weekly developing personalities and creating stars of the future.

“[And] in keeping with the modern environment and the modern youth, the space in which this generation operates is social media and accordingly the Flow Youth Pro League will focus a lot on a social media and awareness strategy. This year the League will continue to utilize social media to bring awareness and generate increased support for the Flow Youth Pro League. Each week the Flow Youth Pro League will offer awards to individuals who post the best pictures and videos of the games played every Sunday. This in my view is to build the fan base in the medium and short term. The Flow Youth Pro League is an important aspect of the TT Pro League achieving its goals in the medium and long term.”

Skeene also reminded that the Flow Youth Pro League continues to be a major supplier of players to Trinidad and Tobago Youth National Teams. “So we must use it to transform youth football in T&T and it is only fitting because the TT Pro League is the highest level in the football pyramid in T&T.

“Our goal is to continue to make the Flow Youth Pro League a compelling and attractive sports property which is cherished, admired and supported by all the youth. They must crave and want to play in it, support it and follow it. This will help build the fan base of the League. We can’t underestimate the value of this Youth Pro League, it mirrors the senior Pro League.”

The PL CEO said the Flow Youth Pro League is not only a development tool for the players but also important for young match commissioners, referees, coaches, trainers, managers and administrators.

Skeene commended Flow, now in their third year of sponsorship, for understanding the vision, mission and purpose of the Pro League's Youth programme.

He said the continued involvement of all clubs also affirms the Pro League’s unwavering faith in the talent and potential of the youth of the nation.

“Given these challenging economic times in Trinidad and Tobago, now more than ever, it is important to keep our young people motivated and confident in the system, the leaders and their future. Finding the right channels for our youth to fulfill their potential is critical at this juncture. What to me is most important is that the development of the youth of the country and the development of the people can never be in recession,” added the former Trinidad and Tobago footballer.

“This is one aspect of my job that I love the most,” said Cindy-Ann Gatt, Director of Marketing at Flow. “Through initiatives like this, we at Flow get the opportunity to invest in and nurture young talent.

“We are proud to continue for another year as we look forward to seeing talented young players touching the ball. If it’s anything like last year, I am sure we are going to have another great season, with our version of the international FA Cup – as spirited, determined young players give their all.

“While some may down cry the future of T&T football, I beg to disagree. Based on what I have seen, we are far from finished. At last year’s prize giving event, I said the Trinidad and Tobago football legacy is far from over. I maintain that to be true. The fact we have [30] teams participating this year, shows that these youngsters have not let up and neither have their coaches.

“When Flow signed up to become a partner with the Youth Pro League we didn’t anticipate just how rewarding this would be. As a partner, the YPL has elevated Flow not just from the perspective of brand visibility, but the partnership has reinforced our passion for sport and youth and the development of both areas. We are also glad to be involved in a partnership which promotes the development of young men in sport.”

Gatt said stories in media are heart-breaking especially as young men are involved in some of the darkest of acts. She believes the Youth Pro League is a safe place for our young men to learn about self-care, brotherhood, respect, teamwork, strategy and peace. She said the real battle should be on the football field. “A goal scored is a celebration of persistence. A skate tackle or a red card is a life lesson to learn. A game loss offers the opportunity to do better the next time.”

Jabloteh look to extend Flow YPL record as 2018 season kicks off on Sunday.
ttproleague.com


San Juan Jabloteh ought to attract the bulk of the attention this coming Sunday as the current triple-triple champions, attempting a fourth consecutive sweep of all three divisions, kick off the new Flow Youth Pro League 2018 season away to Defence Force at Trinity College in Trincity in the Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 divisions.

Also on Sunday, the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training fields in Marabella will host a full day of action with Club Sando hosting Police FC in the U14, U16 and U18 divisions and Central FC hosting St. Ann’s Rangers in the U14 and U16 divisions.

Elsewhere, Morvant Caledonia United will host Point Fortin Civic in the U14 division.

As customary, the U14, U16 and U18 matches will be contested from 10am, 2pm and 4pm respectively.

However, new this season, the Flow YPL calendar will see one round of league action (February 18 – April 22) before ending with the inaugural knockout competition (April 29 – May 27).

“The Flow Youth Pro League will continue to have a dynamic approach to youth football in Trinidad and Tobago,” said Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene during the launch of the 2018 Flow YPL earlier this month. “We will afford teams this year the opportunity to play two competitions and so be in line to win two competitions.

Thirty teams involving hundreds of young players hoping to shine under the blanket of the ten (10) Pro League clubs – San Juan Jabloteh, W Connection, Central FC, Police FC, Defence Force, Morvant Caledonia United, Point Fortin Civic and St. Ann’s Rangers – will test their ability over the next four months to become champions.

“We are going to do the same things,” said Jabloteh Under-18 head coach Gilbert Bateau, who also oversees the entire youth programme alongside technical director Keith Jeffrey. “And we are confident we can repeat what we achieved in the last three years.

“[But] we are not forgetting that this is really about the players’ development. Yes the players will want to win and the coaches will want to win, but it is all about the development. We as clubs must do our part in trying to develop players [at junior level] to be the best that they can be to support the national teams. [At Jabloteh] the thinking is, if we do the developmental part right and ask them the play the best of their ability together with the right enthusiasm, then we can hope for the right results.”

Jabloteh’s approach to development of both players and coaches will again see a combined effort with Dave Weeks working alongside Andy Morales and Junior Neptune with the U14 and U16 divisions, respectively, while technical director Keith Jeffrey and Bateau will oversee the full youth programme.

Jeffrey and Bateau also serves as the club’s professional team’s head coach and assistant coach, respectively.

Jabloteh post trifecta while Eve debut with Sando U18s win
ttproleague.com


Angus Eve hit the surface running as new Club Sando Under-18 coach, steering the young Oranges to a 3-0 win over Police FC at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training ground in Marabella on Sunday, the opening day of the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League season.

Nikel Rawlins opened the scoring after just five minutes before a second half quick-fire double from Isa Bramble in the 54th and 56th minutes made sure of full points for Eve’s side against Police.

“I thought that Police (U18s) were well-organised but we were also organised and were able to be more effective in our ball movement and created more chances,” said Eve, who is also Sando’s first team coach.

“Although they (Police U18s) played well, I believe we could have had more goals. It was a good level of team performance by our players and encouragement going forward.”

Eve heaped praise on team captain Kodel Frontin, Daniel Lake, Ronaldo Mc Intosh, Dillon Yearwood, “influential midfielder” Nickel Rawlins and double-scorer Bramble who he said worked tirelessly throughout against a Police U18 side that had first team coach Richard Hood on their side lines.

“It augurs well for the players’ development to see (senior) Pro League coaches and staff working with the younger players in the Youth Pro League as I am doing now with Sando,” ended Eve.

Sando, though, had to settle for a point against the Blues in both the Under-14 and Under-16 divisions with the U14s, coached by Wayne Caesar, playing to a 1-1 draw after Anthony Williams levelled Police’s early lead through Jovonn Gomes before the U16s, coached by Keon Trim, battled to a 0-0 stalemate against the visitors.

Eve’s ex-club and reigning triple-triple champions San Juan Jabloteh were the only club to post wins in all three divisions through play yesterday while W Connection and St. Ann’s Rangers did so by virtue of wins by default over North East Stars and Central FC respectively.

Jabloteh, who achieved the extraordinary record of a third straight sweep of all three divisions in the FYPL last season, came from behind to defeat Defence Force 3-1 in the U14s at Trinity College East, then enjoyed a 3-0 win in the U16 division with Nathaniel James, who banged in a monstrous record-achieving 40 goals last season, scoring his team’s third and final goal.

Trevin Moore later scored five minutes from time to complete Jabloteh’s perfect day with a narrow 1-0 win over Defence Force in the U18 division at the Trincity venue.

Jabloteh will host Morvant Caledonia United next Sunday at San Juan North Secondary, while Club Sando must visit W Connection at the Ato Boldon Stadium main field.

W Connection picked up all three wins against North East Stars without a kick of the ball while Rangers, who defeated Central 3-1 in the U14s and 1-0 in the U16s, picked up their U18 win by default.

In other opening day results Morvant Caledonia defeated Point Fortin Civic 4-2 in the U14 division at Barataria Oval but surrendered full points to the southerners by default.

Smart beaver-trick help Civic U14s grab basket of goals at Rangers.
ttproleague.com


Kern Smart doubled his goal tally of last season with an uninterrupted first-half beaver-trick to steer Point Fortin Civic Under-14s to a 7-0 win over hosts MIC-IT St. Ann’s Rangers on Sunday, Match Day Two of the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League #flowypl #wherestarsareborn.

Smart, of La Brea, scored in the 6th, 11th, 20th and 28th minutes to galvanize Civic U14s at St. Augustine Secondary before teammates Luke Phillip (36), Jaeden Henry (60) and Taye Simon (64) completed the romp and their first win of the season after two attempts to occupy fourth on the division’s standings behind, in descending order, leaders W Connection, Morvant Caledonia United and Police FC who all registered wins on Sunday.

Smart, last season, ended with just two goals to his name after a double scored in a 4-1 win over Club Sando in June, but could be on his way towards a brighter season in 2018 and should look to add to his tally when Civic host San Juan Jabloteh next Sunday at Mahaica Oval.

Civic, however, had to settle for a point against Rangers in both the Under-16 and Under-18 divisions but had done enough to return to Point Fortin unbeaten on Sunday.

Rangers, in an effort to rebound firstly through their U16s, saw Darius Douglas level them twelve minutes into the second half, after Thaj Neptune had put Civic ahead on 41 minutes at the St. Augustine venue. But seven minutes later Rangers had Tyrek Forbes sent with his second yellow card in a space of a dozen minutes — a blow that Civic failed to capitalize on — and both teams, at the final whistle, had to settle for a 1-1 result.

Rangers and Civic also played to a 1-1 draw in the U18 division. Stephon Joseph equalised late for Civic with two minutes left to complete the visitors’ unbeaten away trip after Matthias Kendo had put Rangers in front on 56 minutes.

In the surprise result of Sunday, Morvant Caledonia United U14s, the whipping boys of last season, edged San Juan Jabloteh 1-0 at San Juan North Secondary through a late Romario Nelson strike for a second win in as many matches under new coaches Sheldon De Freitas and Martin Romany.

Morvant Caledonia, though, surrendered full points in the U14 and U16 divisions by default for a second consecutive time and will look for their first points in both divisions when the host Police FC next Sunday at Barataria Oval.

Elsewhere, talented W Connection youth forward Molik Khan scored a double, first opening the Savonetta Boys’ U14’s scoring in the third minute then completing a 4-2 win against Club Sando four minutes from the end at the Ato Boldon Stadium.

Joshua Mason (8.) had levelled Sando after Khan (M)’s opening strike and Jaylon Brereton (14) scored to send the visitors in at the break with a 2-1 lead. But Dantaye Gilbert (44) equalised for Connection from the penalty spot before teammate Ethan Trotman (52) restored the lead and Khan (M) (66) completing his double and the win.

Khan (M)’s elder brother Shoaib Khan also starred Sunday, scoring the only goal of the game to give Connection maximum points for a second time in as many matches, like their U14s, with a 1-0 win over Sando in the U18 division.

But earlier, Connection had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Sando in the U16 division despite a Denilson Dogan double. Dogan scored early on either side of the half against the visitors, first opening the scoring in the second minute then levelling Connection five minutes into the second half after Marc Warfe (13) and Menes Jahra (25) had sent Sando in at the break with the lead.

Also on Sunday, Police FC registered their first victories of the season in the U14 and U16 divisions with 3-2 wins over Defence Force FC at Frederick Settlement Ground in Caroni to maintain their unbeaten status this term. Police U18s, however, were held to a 1-1 draw by Defence Force FC.

Have stated this before, will state it again: these age groups are problematic, particularly since the pinnacle at regional level is the CONCACAF U-13 Champions League and the U-15 Championship ... and at youth World Cup level the categories are U-17 and U-20.

But, let's focus on the U-13/U-14s ...

I would like to see teams adopting tactical approaches that would provide useful planning and preparation in anticipation of the winner taking part in the U-13 Champions League. I fear that there is no implementation of lessons learned from past tournament participation. Also, what Central FC did out of necessity in the CFU (bringing in an assortment of players to play the tournament) provides some useful guidance to the team that makes it to Champions League level.

Does limiting qualification for the regional tournament to the Pro League competition actually produce the best U-13 team? There are teams (Queens Park and others) that can "ball". I'm not convinced that the Youth PL is producing the solution.

Also, we have a small pool of players, many of whom under current arrangements are receiving fewer playing minutes than they should be ... and our Mexican and Central American counterparts are recruiting and scouting and refining their squads even after they have qualified for the CCL U-13 ... so it would be sensible to see the winner from the Youth PL include one or more of Amwood's players, or one or more of Queens Park's players or a SSFL player that is not involved in the Youth Pro League or a young player from FC Santa Rosa etc.

Create competition for places.

Down the road (that is, ASAP), there should be consideration of a broader based national U-13 qualifying competition for the CCL U-13 because what will happen this year is that players deemed too old for the U-13 tournament, but who are on the current U-14 teams as starters ... will be removed from rosters and younger players brought in to try to plug holes ...

That is not forward-thinking.

Brown double snatches late win for Jabloteh U-18s.
T&T Guardian Reports.


T&T youth player Jodel Brown scored twice at the death to earn San Juan Jabloteh Under-18s to a 3-2 win over Police FC on Sunday while completing a positive day of results for the hosts on match day five of the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League.

Kidane Lewis fired Jabloteh into a 17th minute lead at San Juan North Secondary School Ground, Bourg Mulatresse, San Juan.

However, Jabari Boyce drew Police level on the hour mark before team-mate Kai Phillip netted the go-ahead item 18 minutes later before Brown’s late heroics, first levelling the score in the 90th minute before completing his double with the winner in extra-time.

The win lifted the defending champions into the division’s lead with 10 points from four matches and four league games left this season while previous leaders Club Sando, slipped two spots and three points into third after a 2-0 loss against MIC-IT St. Ann’s Rangers, also with seven points.

Pt Fortin Civic is now second with eight points after stunning visitors W Connection 1-0 at Mahaica Oval through a second-half Judah Garcia.

Jabloteh, champions in all divisions in the last three seasons, also maintained their place at the top of the Under-16 standings with an earlier 2-0 win over Police thanks to a quick-fire brace from Malachai Daniel (32nd & 35th) in the first half to move to 13 points.

Club Sando (11 points) and W Connection (ten points), however, maintained their close chase in the with wins over St Ann’s Rangers (3-1) and Pt Fortin Civic (2-0) respectively.

Jabloteh, pushing for another record-extending campaign after last year’s “triple-triple”, had earlier knocked Police (ten points) off the top of the Under-14 standings with a 3-0 win with Jaheim Faustin, Christian Jeremy and Israel Joseph on target.

The result allowed W Connection (13 points), 3-0 winners over Pt Fortin Civic, as well to take the lead by one point ahead of Jabloteh (12 points) and set up an interesting top-of-the-table clash on Sunday when the Savonetta Boys host Jabloteh at Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva

Morvant Caledonia United U14s, rebounded from a 2-0 loss against W Connection a week ago to trash Central FC 12-0 at St. George’s College Ground in Barataria for the biggest win in all divisions this season.

Neegus Jack helped himself to three goals in the 13th, 14th and 73rd minutes, while Ishmael Lewis ( 22nd and 74th) and Giovanni Warner (49th and 75th) notched a double each for Morvant Caledonia, while team-mates Josiah Wilson (25), Nathaniel John (26), Kyle Phillip (43), Ivan George (47) and Jason Seepersad (60) added a goal each.

Jabloteh U-16s, U-18s keep flowing.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).


San Juan Jabloteh stayed on course for a fourth straight crown in both the Under-16 and Under-18 Divisions of the Flow Youth Pro League after narrow wins over long-time rivals W Connection at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva on Sunday.

In the Under-16 encounter, Jerry Morris fired Jabloteh into a sixth minute lead, but Nicholas Dyett replied for W Connection in the 21st to leave both teams at 1-1 at the interval.

In the second-half, Jabloteh managed to get the decisive strike from Jean-Marc Williams in the 62nd minute to carry his club to 16 points from six matches, six ahead of W Connection and Police FC.

Club Sando is second with 14 points after a 2-0 defeat of Defence Force with goals from Ephraim Brown (62nd) and Menes Jahra (79th) at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.

Police edged MIC-IT St Ann’s Rangers 1-0 at St Augustine Secondary with Terrel Brown the scorer, and Caledonia AIAled by a hat-trick from Jaheim Granderson whipped North East Stars at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Training Field, Malabar.

Jabloteh’s Under-18 players also came away with a 2-1 triump over host W Connection via earl strikes from national youth player, Brandon Semper (11th) and Rakim Cabie (37th). Mark Ramdeen scored an 85th minute consolation for W Connection.

The win lifted Jabloteh Under-18s to 13 points after five matches, two more than Point Fortin Civic while W Connection is fifth with six points and a match in hand, the same as Defence Force.

Pt Fortin stayed within touching distance of the leaders courtesy a lopsided 11-0 beating of Central FC with Jerren Jackie scoring four, national youth player and Secondary School Footballer of the Year 2017, Judah Garcia, Nion Lammy and Stephon Joseph two each.

However, in the Under-14 Division, W Connection (14 points) enjoys a slim one point advantage over Jabloteh and Police FC after a 4-4 draw in their top of the table clash.

Police blanked St Ann’s Rangers 4-0 led by a hat-trick from Caleb Boyce while Caledonia AIA, fourth with 12 points crushed North East Stars 1-0 thanks to a handful of goals from Abdul-Quddoos Hypolite.

Jabloteh inch closer to fourth straight sweep.
T&T Newsday Reports.


SAN JUAN Jabloteh, for the first time this season, lead all three divisions in the Flow Youth Pro League, inching closer towards a record-extending fourth consecutive clean sweep of Trinidad and Tobago’s top youth competition.

Jabloteh have held the lead in the Under-16 and Under-18 standings for almost the entire 2018 season and maintained their places at the summit with victories over Central FC at San Juan North Secondary last Sunday.

Trent Weekes (28th), Malachai Daniel (47th), Keanu John (53rd) and Stefan Auguste (58th) each found the back of the net to earn hosts Jabloteh a 4-2 win in the Under-16 division over Central before picking up maximum three points over the Couva Sharks by default in the Under-18 division.

Most importantly, Jabloteh enjoyed a brilliant start to the day with their Under-14 outfit defeating Central FC 8-0 to move to the top of the division’s standings for the first time this season after previous leaders W Connection where held to a goalless draw by Police FC in a top-of-the-table clash in St Augustine.

Jaheim Faustin (10th, 17th and 26th) scored a hat-trick, putting his tally at seven goals from as many games this season, while Jearon Ellis (23rd and 47th) opened his account with a double on a morning that also saw a goal each from Trevlon Weekes (fourth), Elijah Gravesande (12th) and Deshawn Brown (65th) in the comfortable Jabloteh Under-14 win.

Jabloteh, however, are not in the clear with two match days left against North East Stars and Club Sando.

The San Juan side are only one point ahead of the pack with Morvant Caledonia United, W Connection and Police FC all within striking distance.

Morvant Caledonia jumped two spots up into second with a 4-2 win over Club Sando Under-14s thanks to a goal each from Abdul-Quddoos Hypolite (13th), Josiah Wilson (32nd), Giovanni Warner (50th) and Romario Nelson (60th), but are only ahead of Connection by goal-difference.

Jabloteh, defeated just once this season from all divisions, are two points ahead of second-positioned Club Sando on the Under-16 ladder and four points clear of challengers Point Fortin Civic on the Under-18 standings.

But with two matches left, the defending champions can’t afford any slip up.

Today’s Match Day Eight fixtures –

Central FC vs Police FC, 10am (U14), 2pm (U16), 4pm (U18) at Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field.

Club Sando vs Point Fortin Civic, 10am (U14), 2pm (U16), 4pm (U18) at Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field.

St Ann’s Rangers vs W Connection, 10am (U14), 2pm (U16), 4pm (U18) at St Augustine Secondary.

North East Stars vs San Juan Jabloteh, 10am (U14), 2pm (U16), 4pm (U18) at Larry Gomes Stadium.

Defence Force FC vs Morvant Caledonia United, 10am (U14), 2pm (U16) at Trinity College East.

Jabloteh retains U-16 crown.
T&T Guardian Reports.


Terrell Wiley scored a hat-trick to lead San Juan Jabloteh past North East Stars 7-0 at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima and with it the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League (YPL) Under-16 crown for a fourth straight season on Sunday.

Wiley got his goals as early as the fourth minute, 34th and 37th to help carry his club to an unassailable 22 points with his uninterrupted first-half tally before Sherwin Mulzac (62nd), Jardel Joslyn (70th), Jerry Morris (72nd) and 14-year-old Donté Murrien (74th), all chipped in with one each in the second half in the one-side contest which saw the San Juan-based club crowned champions of the mid-division for a record-extending fourth consecutive time.

Jabloteh, record champions of all three divisions in the last three seasons, could complete a record-smashing fourth straight sweep of the YPL with victories over Club Sando in the Under-18 and Under-14 divisions in their final league game on Sunday April 22.

In the Under-18 category, Jabloteh fell to a shock 3-1 defeat at North East Stars with John-Paul Rochford scoring twice, only his second and third items of the season to help the seventh-placed club and deny Jabloteh a second title on the day.

Rochford hit the back of the net in the eighth and 64th minutes separated by team-mate’s Isaiah Pascall’s 38th-minute strike and the break before Kesean St.Rose struck a late consolation item eight minutes from time for Jabloteh.

Despite the loss, Jabloteh maintained their place at the top of the Under-18 standings with 16, just one ahead of Pt Fortin Civic who maintained their unbeaten form this season with a 3-0 win at Club Sando with Nkosi Charles (6), Ackeel Jacob (33) and Kevon Griffith (67) all finding the back of the net at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium Training Ground, Marabella.

In the final round of matches on Sunday, Jabloteh will face Club Sando, who are winless in their last four outings and a positive result for the Oranges could see Pt Fortin Civic snatch the division’s crown with a win at home over Defence Force FC.

In the Under-14 Division, Jabloteh (19 points) stormed to a 10-0 whipping of North East Stars and will take a slim lead into the final day over Morvant Caledonia (18), W Connection (18) and Police FC (17) on Sunday.

Leading the onslaught for Jabloteh was Jaheim Faustin, son of ex-T&T ‘Strike Squad’ standout Marvin Faustin, who scored a beaver-trick in the tenth, 22nd , 60th and 66th minute to now lead this season’s scorers’ chart with 11 goals.

Deshawn Brown (ninth & 46th) assisted with a double while Lindell Sween (seventh), Theron O’Brien (37th), Israel Joseph (54th) and Jearon Ellis (61st) netted one each for the visitors.

Elsewhere,Morvant Caledonia and W Connection maintained their title chase with 3-1 and a 6-0 wins over Defence Force FC and St Ann’s Rangers respectively.

However, Police FC enjoyed the biggest win of the season in all divisions, a 14-0 mauling of Central FC led by four goals from Jovonn Gomes.

Jabloteh falls short of YPL sweep as Pt Fortin Civic captures maiden trophy.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).


Point Fortin Civic captured its first ever club trophy in the Pro League era, finishing ahead of W Connection and favourites San Juan Jabloteh to snatch the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League Under-18 Division crown on the final day of league play with a 2-0 win over visiting Defence Force FC at Mahaica Oval, Pt Fortin on Sunday.

For the Lake Asphalt sponsored Civic (18 points), the historic title win came as a result of the team’s unbeaten run – the only team to do so in the division -- and Club Sando Under-18s narrow 1-0 final day win over Jabloteh (16 points)—stopping the defending champions attempt to complete a record-extending fourth clean sweep of the FYPL.

Jabloteh, champions of all three divisions in the previous three seasons, was denied on three occasions by Sando Under-18 ‘keeper Raheem Lee in the first-half at San Juan North Secondary Ground, Bourg Mulatresse before Jardell Sinclair struck his first goal of the season to put the Oranges ahead four minutes inside the second period, silencing the host.

Sinclair capitalised on space and time above the box to send the ball into the roof of Jabloteh’s Emmanuel John’s net, immediately ran to the touchline to celebrate with his coach Angus Eve, an ex-Jabloteh first team player, captain, first team assistant coach and youth coach.

Down south, at the time of Sinclair’s goal, eventual Under-18 champions Civic were leading 2-0 through first-half goals from Ackeel Jacob and Omari Cobham.

Pt Fortin Civic chairman Garthorn Graig said while his players must be praised for their commitment and discipline throughout the season, he pointed the success of the club’s U18 team to the involvement of PFC youth programme sponsor, Lake Asphalt.

“It was no small feat stopping Jabloteh,” admitted Craig. “This is a huge achievement for Point Fortin Civic and we couldn’t do it without Lake Asphalt. Lake Asphalt’s contribution made sure that most of our needs were met. This is the first trophy for our club [since joining the Pro League] and many thanks to Lake Asphalt.”

Craig hopes the success of the PFC U18s, which boasts the likes of Nion Lammy, Jerren Jackie and Judah Garcia among others can be an inspiration for the rest of the club, first team and youth teams.

Earlier on at San Juan, Jabloteh was held to a 0-0 draw failing to celebrate their title win with yet another victory while its Under-14 claimed a fourth straight crown with a 3-0 defeat of Club Sando through second-half goals by Lindell Sween, Jearon Ellis and “Golden Boot” winner Jaheim Faustin (12 goals) against Club Sando.

Morvant Caledonia had not let up their chase, and simultaneously at Barataria Oval the Eastern Stallions defeated St Ann’s Rangers 8-0 with a goal each from Neegus Jack, Giovani Warner, Jaheim Marshall, Christian Bailey, Ishmael Lewis, Josiah Wilson, Romario Nelson and Khiba Romany to finish one point shy of the Under-14 winners.

Andre Morales, who serves as joint head coach alongside Dave Weeks with the Jabloteh U14s, confessed it was a tense week in the lead up to the final league game with Morvant Caledonia within striking distance “but as the game (against Club Sando U14s) went along we [grew] in confidence for the win.

“We are now relieved to finally have the Under-14 trophy, but there is the (Flow YPL Cup) knockout next and we want to do well in that also,” said Morales.

The inaugural Flow Youth Pro League Cup (knockout competition) kicks off on Sunday with the qualifying round.

Young Faustin scoring goals.
T&T Guardian Reports.


Jaheim Faustin, captain of the San Juan Jabloteh Under-14 team, and son of former T&T international standout Marvin Faustin, has topped the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League overall league scoring chart with 12 goals.

Faustin (Jaheim) said he was not only delighted to win the Most Goals award, but also to help his team become champions again.

It was all about momentum according to the player.

Jaheim said: “You want to start off the season by scoring and then building the momentum from there onwards.”
He said his teammates were all confident throughout the season although “not starting too well and later experiencing some nerves at the end.”

Jabloteh, last season’s three-peat champions of all divisions, won the 2018 U14 and 16 FYPL titles but slipped to a third-place in the Under-18 division to finish behind runners-up W Connection and new champions Point Fortin Civic.

Current San Juan Jabloteh Under-16 attacker Nathaniel James holds the all-time YPL scoring record with 40 goals which was achieved last season.

James scored 39 of them for the then Jabloteh U13s and one for the U15s.

Jabloteh marches into Cup semis.
T&T Guardian Reports.


San Juan Jabloteh has fallen short of achieving a record-extending fourth clean sweep of the Flow Youth Pro League titles this season after the club finished as champions of the Under-14 and 16 divisions, while Point Fortin Civic snatched the Under-18 crown, but the young San Juan Kings look intent on making amends in the inaugural Knockout Cup competition after all three age-group teams marched into the semifinals to be contested on May 20.

There are no matches this weekend because of Mother’s Day.

Competing at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar on Sunday, Jabloteh hammered St Ann’s Rangers 4-0 in an Under-14 quarterfinal match before the San Juan Kings’ Under-16s edged crosstown rivals Morvant Caledonia United 1-0 before the Jabloteh Under-18s completed the quarterfinal round trifecta with a 3-0 defeat off Defence Force FC at the same Malabar venue.

However, Pt Fortin Civic Under-18s, though, failed to progress into the semi-finals despite going ahead against Police FC through a Matthew Brewster 15th minute strike at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Training Field Ground One, Marabella.

The new Under-18 league champions went on to surrender the narrow lead before falling 2-1 against the Blues who advanced courtesy a double from Kai Phillip in the 45th & 83rd and will meet W Connection, 1-0 winners over Club Sando.

Pt Fortin Civic Under-14 and Under-16 outfits had much better fortune as they advanced into the semi-finals of their respective tournaments.

This after Civic Under-14s stunned league runners-up Morvant Caledonia United and the Under-16s ousted St. Ann’s Rangers.

All advancing teams will now have two weeks, ample time for rest, recovery and preparation for semi-final day on May 20.

San Juan Jabloteh may have fallen short of achieving a record-extending fourth clean sweep of the Flow Youth Pro League titles, but the young San Juan Kings look intent on making amends in the inaugural Flow Youth Pro League Cup.

Earlier this year, Jabloteh finished 2018 champions of the Under-14 and Under-16 divisions, but missed a treble as Point Fortin Civic snatched the Under-18 crown,

On Sunday, Jabloteh became the only club to march into all three divisions of the Cup semi-final rounds which will be contested on May 20.

Competing at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Jabloteh hammered St. Ann’s Rangers 4-0 in their U-14 quarter-final, before the San Juan Kings’ U-16 outfit edged crosstown rivals Morvant Caledonia United 1-0.

Jabloteh then ensured their appearance in all three quarter-finals with their U-18s dispatching Defence Force FC 3-0 at the same Malabar venue.

Also, Kai Phillip scored a double for Police U-18s in a 2-1 win over Point Fortin Civic at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella.

Police FC went ahead through a Matthew Brewster strike, but Phillip responded with a brace to turn the match around.

Police will meet W Connection in the semis, after the latter were 1-0 winners over Club Sando.

Civic U-14 and U-16 outfits advanced into the semi-final stage with wins over U-14 league runners-up Morvant Caledonia United and St Ann’s Rangers, respectively, at the Marabella venue.

Civic U-14s led the quarter-final contest through first-half strikes by Luke Phillip and Kern Smart to dispatch Morvant Caledonia 2-1 who had a goal pulled back by Jaheim Marshall.

Civic will meet W Connection who were 4-2 winners over Club Sando, thanks to a double from Molik Khan and a goal each from Malik Clement and Dantaye Gilbert.

Jabloteh, Stars clash after coaches swap sides.
T&T Guardian Reports.


A recent switch of coaches Gilbert Bateau and Kevin Jeffrey to the Under-18 sides of North East Stars and San Juan Jabloteh respectively could bait emotions when both sides meet this afternoon from 4 pm at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima for a place in the final of the inaugural Flow Youth Pro League Cup on May 27.

“For the players, it will be highly emotional,” said new Jabloteh U18 coach Kevin Jeffrey, who only three weeks ago was still an employee of North East Stars and coach of the club’s U18 team.

“A lot of the (Stars) players have been calling me saying they missed the style of play, my persona and the way I passed on my knowledge of the game to them. And now they have to come up against me, someone they enjoyed playing under.”

Last month Gilbert Bateau vacated the posts of Jabloteh first team assistant coach and head coach of the U18s to reunite with Zoran Vranes after the Yugoslav-born coach returned to Trinidad to join North East Stars as head of coaching on an initial one-year agreement, subject to a work permit.

Bateau accepted the role as assistant coach in all divisions including the Stars’ first team under Vranes who he had served under with the Trinidad and Tobago team at the 2009 FIFA Under 20 World Cup in Egypt and Olympic qualifiers with the U23s in 2011.

Meanwhile, Bateau said he expects his now former charges (Jabloteh U18s) to be professional enough to put up a strong challenge on semi-final Sunday. He too said his former players were disappointed in his departure.

“My move to North East Stars is strictly in the interest of development of players,” explained Bateau. “North East Stars’ plans are exactly what I hoped Jabloteh had done. We (at Jabloteh) were creating the most amount of players to fit into the [first] team but that wasn’t happening. I have no ill feelings for Jabloteh because I am still open to communication with the club.

“The plans at North East Stars to develop the players and progress them through our teams is what I’ve always wished for at Jabloteh. The focus must be to try to develop the players at best. For instance, when they go abroad on trials they shouldn’t come back. Too many times players are coming back because they lack technique. So the arrangement put forward by North East Stars for development of the football where the players benefit most, is the reason I made the switch,” ended Bateau, father of recent North East Stars signing Sean Bateau and Kazakhstan-based T&T international Sheldon Bateau.

Jabloteh’s Under-14 and Under-16 FYPL league winners also advanced to Sunday’s semi-finals and will take on Defence Force and Point Fortin Civic respectively from 10 am and 2 pm at the same Malabar venue.

At Mannie Ramjohn Stadium (training field 1) in Marabella, Point Fortin Civic must face W Connection in the U14 age group (10 am) and Club Sando will tackle Police FC in the U16 division (2 pm) before the U18 sides of Police and Connection lock horns (4 pm).

Jabloteh chases three FYPL Cups.
T&T Guardian Reports.


San Juan Jabloteh and long-time rivals W Connection will clash in two Flow Youth Pro League (FYPL) Cup finals on Sunday at a venue to be determined after the San Juan Kings continued stretched their youth powerhouse status into the inaugural knockout competition by reaching the final in all three divisions.

Jabloteh and Connection will battle for the Under-14 and 18 Cup titles, separated by the San Juan Kings’ title clash against Club Sando in the Under-16 category.

Jabloteh Under-18s completed the semifinal round trifecta when they kayoed their North East Stars counterparts 4-3 on penalties following a late 1-1 draw at Larry Gomes Stadium in one of three semis that were determined via the spot while Connection U18s edged Police FC 3-2 at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field.

The result in Malabar was a slap in the face for the Stars which had only weeks ago sacked their U18 coach Kevin Jeffrey after the arrival of new club coach Zoran Vranes who had recruited then Jabloteh U18 coach, Gilbert Bateau. Jeffrey had since joined Jabloteh to fill the vacant post.

Jabloteh Under-14s were also made to advance from the spot, defeating Defence Force FC 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Malabar venue to advance to the title-match into the final against W Connection who defeated Point Fortin Civic 2-0 in their semi-final clash at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field.

Club Sando also needed spot-kicks at the Marabella venue to dispatch Police FC 6-5 in the Under-16 division after allowing a 3-0 first-half lead to slip. Justin Araujo-Wilson scored twice before teammate Caleb Straker added a third to send Sando in at the break with the healthy cushion, but a double from Jesus Delicia after Jordel John had reduced the deficit saw the Blues manage a 3-3 regular-time score.

Simultaneously at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Jabloteh were comfortable 5-1 winners over Point Fortin Civic in their U16 clash with Jerry Morris and Malachai Daniel each scoring twice and Terrell Wiley converting a first-half penalty.

W Connection lifts inaugural Flow U-14, U-18 Cups.
T&T Guardian Reports.


Sunday last was a day to forget for San Juan Jabloteh after the favourites lost all three finals of the inaugural Flow Youth Pro League (FYPL) Cup at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar.

All three titles went the opposite way by teams coached by members of the famous T&T 1989 ‘Strike Squad’ which came to within a point of qualifying to the 1990 Italy World Cup.

W Connection first ended a three-year drought at youth level when it edged Jabloteh 2-1 to win the Under-14 FYPL Cup under coach and former T&T striker Leonson Lewis.

From as early as the fourth minute, W Connection took command of the match through Joel Maitland-Wilson’s opener and in the 17th minute, Dantaye Gilbert made it 2-0 in the 70-minutes contest. Two minutes into the second-half, Jearon Ellis sliced the margin in half for Jabloteh but in the end, W Connection held on for the win to hand the club a first youth title since winning the YPL Under-16 championship in 2014 An elated coach Lewis reminded that his W Connection U-14 side remained unbeaten all season.

He said, “In total being unbeaten all season is the most inspiring thing for us. We’ve drawn games we should have won but we never lose and to end the season like this, as Cup champions, is the best feeling ever.”

W Connection star forward Molik Khan said it was a great achievement to snatch the FYPL Cup after mistakes cost his team the league title.

“Whenever you play a team like Jabloteh it’s never an easy game, and it will only take hard work and a good team like W Connection to come away with this victory,” said Khan.

Club Sando, coached by former T&T goalkeeper Michael ‘Brow’ Maurice, then handed the ‘San Juan Kings’ a second defeat on the day when it captured the U-16 FYPL Cup with a 3-2 penalty-kicks win after holding the league champions to a 0-0 draw.

During the match, Jabloteh’s chances of securing the title took a major blow when attacker Jerry Morris suffered a suspected concussion with just over quarter of an hour played and was taken away by ambulance for observation at hospital but was released on Sunday night.

Speaking after the match, coach Maurice was elated to lead the ‘Oranges’ to their first club title since becoming a Pro League member club in 2015 but heaped the praise on Keon Trim, the coach he replaced just ahead of the FYPL Cup.

Maurice said Trim had done an excellent job with the Club Sando U-16 outfit which maintained their unbeaten campaign with the final win over Jabloteh.

Jabloteh U-18s ended the day the way the club started, in the agony of defeat, despite a double from star forward Kesean St Rose (21st & 51st), in a 2-4 loss to W Connection.

Doing the damage for Brian Williams- coached W Connection was Jevaughn Humphrey with a second- half double in the 62nd and 90th minutes after team-mates Kiron Manswell (26th) and Christian Ransome (73rd) had found the target.

Williams was in high praise of his players who he said showed excellent character to defeat Jabloteh. The W Connection U-18 coach believes the future is bright for his players but what affects their progress is moving from one place to another.

“For instance, after this (Youth Pro League) they go to their college teams and we don’t have them for a long time, whereas if they are continuous with a club their development won’t be interrupted.”

Down at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella, Defence Force (U-14); Pt Fortin Civic (U- 16) and Police FC (U-18) ended in third in their respective divisions.

W CONNECTION and Club Sando were the major winners on Sunday, as the Flow Youth Pro League Cup ended.

On the other side of the coin, San Juan Jabloteh will not want to remember the day as they were beaten in all three finals. They lost to Connection (Under-14 and Under-18) and Club Sando (Under-16).

The respective finals were staged at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima, while the third-place matches were contested at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.

Former Strike Squad striker Leonson Lewis coached Connection to a 2-1 win in the Under-14 final.

Joel Maitland-Wilson put Connection ahead after four minutes, followed by Dantaye Gilbert’s effort in the 17th. Jearon Ellis pulled one back in the 37th but Connection held firm until the final whistle. According to Lewis, “Being unbeaten all season is the most inspiring thing for us. We’ve drawn games we should have won, but we never lost, and to end the season like this (as Cup champions) is the best feeling ever.”

Defence Force defeated Point Fortin Civic 4-3, courtesy kicks from the penalty spot, after the scoreboard read 1-1 at the end of full time.

Connection were also in winners’ row in the Under-18 final, by virtue of a 4-2 result over Jabloteh.

Jevaughn Humphrey (62nd and 90th) netted a double for Connection, with one apiece from Kiron Manswell (26th) and Christian Ramsome (73rd). Kesean St Rose (21st and 51st) scored twice for Jabloteh.

Police pipped North East Stars 4-3 in the third-place contest. Finding the back of the net for Police were Kai Phillip (23rd and 34th), Zion McLeod (46th) and Elijah Joseph (64th), with Jonathan Gloudon (12th) and Jaydon Prowell (18th and 40th) replying for Stars.

Coach Brian Williams was in high praise of his Connection players who he said showed excellent character to defeat Jabloteh.

But the ex-Strike Squad right-back commented, “After this (Youth Pro League) they go to their college teams and we don’t have them for a long time, whereas if they are continuously with a club, their development won’t be interrupted.”

In the Under-16 decider, Club Sando got past Jabloteh 3-2 in penalties, after a goal-less scoreline at the end of regulation time. Ironically, the third-place game between Point Fortin and Police also needed penalties to decide the winner after no goals were scored in regulation time. In the end, Point Fortin prevailed 4-2.

Jaheim Faustin, son of former Strike Squad left-back Marvin Faustin, took home the golden boot as the top Under-14 scorer. Jordan Britto was adjudged the most outstanding defender in the Under-16 section.

Andre Morales was voted as the coach of the year in the Under-14 category and Steve Neptune was named as the top coach in the Under-16 age group.

New Youth Pro League 2019 season kicks off on Sunday
T&T Pro League Media


Having missed out on a fourth straight sweep of the Youth Pro League last season – by a league final day defeat to Club Sando in the Under-18 division – and failure to secure an inaugural Cup after reaching all three title matches, San Juan Jabloteh wants to redeem themselves by reigning supreme in the Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 divisions of the new 2019 season which kicks off this weekend.

Jabloteh opens their YPL 2019 league campaign against Central FC at Edinburg 500 Recreation Ground in Chaguanas on Sunday, while long-time rivals W Connection host Morvant Caledonia United at Union Recreation Ground in St. Margaret’s.

Elsewhere, Terminix La Horquetta Rangers welcome Club Sando at Larry Gomes Stadium.

The 2019 YPL league championship which boasts the best youth players across the country will run March 17 to May 19, followed by the YPL Cup competition from May 26 to June 16. All matches will be contested on Sundays with the exception of the Easter weekend break and Mother’s Day. Matches will be played on Saturday 11 May instead of Mother’s Day (May 12).

All matches are contested 10am, 2pm and 4pm in the U13, U15 and U17 divisions respectively.

Jabloteh, league champions of the U14 and U16 divisions last season, missed out on a fourth straight sweep of the league titles but set a new record by reaching all three finals of the inaugural YPL 2018 Cup. The young San Juan Kings however finished Cup runners-up to W Connection in the U14 and 18 divisions and Club Sando in the U16 division.

Last season Point Fortin Civic captured the U18 league title, and like Sando’s U16’s, made history by celebrating their respective clubs first ever trophy at all levels in the Pro League era.

“We took foot off the pedal [near the end],” explained Jabloteh technical director and first team head coach Keith Jeffrey. “But we intend to rectify that this season. We are hungrier for the knockout titles (Cups) knowing we lost all three last season. So that’s also a priority for us. We want everything, league and knockout.”

Jeffrey says last season’s failure to win every title puts a fresh challenge on Jabloteh's coaches after three successive years as champions in all three divisions prior to last season.

“Our reputation as a top club at the youth level will make it difficult for other teams when they face us,” Jeffrey said. “We are the benchmark for every youth team but we also understand every game will come as a final.

“We have history being one of the more successful clubs in the youth league and we look to continue in that vein against Central on Sunday and then when we host W Connection [a week later] in San Juan. Connection are always a challenge for us and we will be happy to put them out of the way early and set ourselves in a good position for the rest of the season because the ambition is to win everything [in all three divisions].”

Jeffrey, though overseeing all divisions as technical director, will take a hands on approach, joining champion youth coach Dave Weekes as coaches of Jabloteh’s U13 team which will also represent Trinidad and Tobago at the 2019 CONCACAF Under-13 Champions League in Costa Rica from August 10-17.

Other champion youth coaches Andre “Andy” Morales and Steve Neptune are in charge of the U15 and U17 teams respectively. Morales will be assisted by Joseph Noel and first team assistant coach Joshua Lamb will assist Neptune.

Jabloteh again stands a huge contributor of the national youth teams with the likes of U15 players Jahiem Faustin, Daeshawn Brown and Josiah Shade and U17 standouts Jerry Morris, Trent Weekes, Jarique Williams, Randy Antoine, Jordan Britto, Khalil Oliver and Tyrique Sutherland.

Jeffrey added that while he supports the national efforts at all levels, players must be available to represent their respective clubs outside of national fixtures.

“I am okay with the national teams having our players Monday to Saturday,” said the Jabloteh coach. “But [our players] must be free to represent our club on Sundays. I am sure all the clubs will support this until the national teams leave for whatever tournament.”

Central snatches late point as Jabloteh U17s see red, Sando runs riot and more
T&T Pro League Media


Club Sando whipped hosts Terminix La Horquetta Rangers 4-0 in the Under-17 division and Central FC held San Juan Jabloteh to a 1-1 draw in the same division draw when the Youth Pro League 2019 season rolled out on Sunday.

Daniel Lake (3’), Nasean Duncan (18’), Nirvan Ramnarine (20’), from the penalty spot, and Darius Douglas (90’+2) netted a goal each for the Angus Eve-coached Sando U17s at the Larry Gomes Stadium, exacting revenge for their U15 side coached by another ex-Trinidad and Tobago standout Cornell Glenn.

Sando U15s were earlier edged 2-1 by La Horquetta Rangers after taking the lead through Davison Ramnath (42’). Rangers however overturned the deficit with an equaliser from Emmanuel Hunte (62’) then the game’s winner through Isaiah Raymond (80’) to snatch full points.

It was a positive turnaround for Rangers after their U13 outfit allowed a two-goal cushion — first-half goals by Tarique Abdulla (28’) and Ky-Mani Anthony (34’) — to slip and Sando snatching a point in the process with a 2-2 draw courtesy second-half strikes by Khaleem Warrick (48’), Cristian Weeks (51’).

Elsewhere, Jabloteh led by a double from Lindell Sween kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 win over hosts Central at Edinburgh 500 ground in the U13 division and won by default in the U15 division.

But youth powerhouse Jabloteh were stunned late by the “Couva Sharks”, represented by Crown Trace, and had to settle for a point after a hard-fought 1-1 draw in the U17 division.

Central U17s were lucky not to fall behind after just three minutes thanks to goalkeeper Michael Francis matching Jerry Morris’ kick from the spot. The Central ‘keeper redeemed himself after tripping the giant-sized Jabloteh front man Morris in the box.

It was not until 70 minutes of play later that Morris—who had the game’s bulk of chances—redeemed himself by picking out Terrell Wiley in the Central box and the diminutive attacking midfielder made no mistake in beating Francis from close up to give Jabloteh a 1-0 lead.

That lead was however cancelled out by Nkosi Rosales who celebrated the final touch in putting the ball over goalkeeper Dillon King’s line to level the score 1-1 seven minutes from time.

Jabloteh had self-destruct late when defenders Randy Antoine and Khalil Oliver failed to clear the ball and Central’s perseverance paid off to the satisfaction of the home supporters. King, who had produced a save in the melee, was given his marching with a direct red card for dissent in protest of the goal.

It was an untidy end for Jabloteh after kicking off the day with Sween, the recently named Atlantic YES male Champion Athlete of the Year, scoring on either side of the break to inspire Keith Jeffrey’s side over a determined and talented Central FC U13 bunch represented by Pro Series.

Sween put Jabloteh U13s ahead by completing a strong solo run into the Central box with a left footed strike into the roof of goalkeeper Shemuel Cassimy’s net on 35 minutes.

Sween later held off his marker four minutes into the second half to slap home another left footed strike to cushion Jabloteh 2-0.

Sween was inches wide of a third moments after he was involved in another Jabloteh attack which saw Myckiah Haywood trouble the side netting with the ‘keeper at his mercy after being put through by Jahmarley Caleb.

Haywood redeemed himself in the 63rd minute to seal the 3-0 Jabloteh U13 victory with a header past Cassimy off a cross by D’journe Jules.

Other results saw Police FC and Point Fortin Civic take full points in all three divisions by default over Defence Force FC and North East Stars respectively.

W Connection took three points by default over Morvant Caledonia United in the U13 division but were defeated 2-0 in the U15 division by the visitors at Union Ground in St. Margaret’s before a double from Jabari Lee and a goal from Cephas St. Rose earned the “Savonetta Boys”’ U17s a 3-0 win over the “Eastern Stallions”.

Next Sunday, Jabloteh will host rivals W Connection at San Juan North Secondary and Central will visit La Horquetta Rangers while Sando are away to Police FC.

Jabloteh U13 goalie Thane Devenish puts on his scoring boots as hosts stay unbeaten
T&T Pro League Media


Thane Devenish proved he knows a thing or two, actually three, about scoring against goalkeepers — being a goalie himself — by netting a hat-trick to steer hosts San Juan Jabloteh to a 4-1 win over rivals W Connection in the Under-13 division of the 2019 Youth Pro League on Sunday.

Star forward Lindell Sween notched his third goal from two games after blowing past two defenders to put coach Keith Jeffrey’s bunch ahead in the 13th minute, before Devenish celebrated his first on 34 minutes at San Juan North Secondary School Ground.

Jeffrey pointed out that Devenish was used as an outfield player because of his speed against top rival Connection. Devenish later struck a quick-fire double (41st & 42nd minutes) with the last a cross-cum-shot that left Connection goalie Aidan Raymond reeling into his net.

Aidan’s brother, Aaron, a pint-sized Connection forward with a big heart for the game as teammates Josiah Barrow and Camron Burke, later saw his effort from the spot crash off the upright after winning the penalty.

It was, however, an own goal that saw Jabloteh U13s concede their first of the campaign when in the 64th minute defender Ability Hazel’s back pass beat goalkeeper Joshua Gonzales to credit a goal to the visitors.

Jeffrey, afterwards, was happy for the win, but the Jabloteh technical director felt his players showed nervousness against Connection.

Jeffrey, who also serves as the club’s first team coach, believes the YPL is tougher this time around especially as habitual champions with “teams coming after Jabloteh” to give it their best.

Jabloteh went on to defeat Connection 3-1 in the Under-15 division with a goal each from Jordan Ferguson (5’), Venezuelan Carlos Torrealba (10’) and Nkosi Ambrose (55’) before Maliki Clement (79’) pulled one back for Connection.

Jabloteh, however, were held to a 1-1 draw by the visiting “Savonetta Boys” in the Under-17 division.

Jarique Williams, Jabloteh’s U17 captain, drove home a 30-yard free kick which escaped the towering figure of Connection ‘keeper of Isaiah Williams to put the hosts in front after just three minutes.

But half hour later Jabari Lee for his third goal of the campaign levelled Connection from the penalty spot – sending the ball down the middle past goalkeeper Kahlil Oliver – after he drew a foul from Trent Weekes.

Connection took over the game for long periods but frustration overflowed near the final whistle with Joshton Thomas issuing a red card to Jabloteh’s Jean Marc Williams and the Tushawn Lawson of the visiting team.

Elsewhere, a second-half double from Michael John (41’ & 65’) and an item each from Elijah Wong (5’), Thomas Decle (50’) and Jonas Schjolberg (67’) saw Central U13s rebound from their opening loss against Jabloteh to defeat host Terminix La Horquetta Rangers 5-0 at Larry Gomes Stadium.

Central also walked away 2-0 winners in the U17 division after Rangers took full points by default in the U15 age group.

And down in the “Gallows”, Fyzabad, Police FC stunned Club Sando 3-0 in the U17 division after losing 3-0 in the U13 division and winning 2-0 in the U15 thanks to a goal each from Abdul-Quddoos Hypolite (11’) and Jovonn Gomes (52’).

In the U17 age group, an own goal by Joshua Cooper put Police ahead in the 10th minute before a Dwight Jordan (40’ & 48’) double put the match out of Sando’s reach.

Sando will look to bounce back when they welcome Point Fortin Civic next Sunday at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium while Police host Central FC. Other matchups include Morvant Caledonia United against Jabloteh, North East Stars against Defence Force FC and Connection to host Rangers.

Dos Santos strike gives Central U17s edge over Police; Jabloteh U13s stays perfect after three
T&T Pro League Media


Ivan Dos Santos, for a second time in three outings, has scored the decisive item as his Central FC Under-17 outfit maintain an unbeaten run after three outings in the 2019 Youth Pro League—their latest a 1-0 win over Police FC on Sunday.

Dos Santos arrived off the bench a fortnight ago to rescue a point at the death against youth powerhouse San Juan Jabloteh which ended 1-1. His latest exploits was a 29th-minute strike that proved enough to eke full points against the young Blues at the Police Barracks outside field to join leaders W Connection, 2-0 winners over Terminix La Horquetta Rangers, on 7 points.

Police FC, Point Fortin Civic and Club Sando, in descending order on the U17 ladder, are a point behind after Sunday’s results.

Civic also lost, going down 3-1 against Club Sando. Sando rebounded from a shock loss against Police a week ago when a goal each from Thaj Neptune (30), Jaden Mc Kree (38) and Kern Cedeno (76) eased Angus Eve’s side past Civic at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium. Jabari Francois handed Civic a consolation item in stoppage time.

Sando Under-13 outfit, coached by Wayne Caesar, kicked off the day with a 2-0 win over the Civic at the south venue to climb a spot into second, but the visitors from Point Fortin hit back with a 3-1 win over the hosts in the Under-15 division.

Civic continues to lead the U15 standings with maximum after three games but are level on 9 points with Rangers. The La Horquetta outfit celebrated a 3-1 win over hosts Connection at Gilbert Park after losing 4-0 in the U13 division.

Jabloteh are perfect at the top of the U13 standings after three matches with their latest result a 4-1 win over crosstown rivals Morvant Caledonia United at San Juan North Secondary.

Cameron Gulston (10 & 14) scored twice early on for Keith Jeffrey’s side before Jahmarley Caleb (31) and Thane Devenish (48), with his fourth goal of the campaign, added a goal each before Jadaiah King (56) struck a consolation item for Morvant Caledonia.

Jabloteh were however held goalless by Morvant Caledonia in the U15 and U17 divisions and are in much need of victories when they host Rangers next Sunday at the same San Juan North Secondary venue.

Central must next travel to Mahaica Oval against Civic while Connection will host Police. Sando will welcome North East Stars at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium and Defence Force are away to Morvant Caledonia.

Thane Devenish, Chaz Ford star for Jabloteh, Connection U13s respectively, before Sando U15s hit 9 past N/E Stars
T&T Pro League Media


Club Sando posted their first points on the Under-15 standings with a 9-0 drubbing of North East Stars when the excitement in the Youth Pro League 2019 continued on Sunday.

The display by the Cornell Glen-coached Sando U15s saw Omari Campbell (61, 72 & 80) finish with a hat-trick while Davison Ramnath (2 & 75) grabbed a double. Daniel Jones (11), Alex Chacon Hernandez (39), Danté Julien (70) and Daylon Riley (78) also got on the scoresheet at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium and after three straight defeats, the “Oranges” have posted the biggest win in all divisions this season thus far.

Sando Under-17s were also in winners row with a 2-0 result over Stars after first-half goals by Jaden Mc Kree and Darius Douglas saw the Angus Eve-led bunch complete the day which started with the “Oranges” Under-13 bunch’s undefeated run of three games halted.

North East Stars had took to the pitch for the first time and earned themselves a delightful start when their 10-man U13 side enjoying a 3-1 win over Club Sando after losing their opening two games by default and winning the third in the same manner.

Gabriel Collin put hosts Sando ahead after just six minutes at Marabella venue but Stars stormed back with a goal each from Darius Jordan (13), Jadiel Joseph (15) and Logan Maingot (30) to secure the win before the break.

The Stars must however must do without defender Jaden Williams when they host Central FC on April 14. Williams picked up an automatic red card after his second yellow card of the game arrived on 41 minutes.

In the same division, Thane Devenish hit his second hat-trick of the campaign to keep San Juan Jabloteh perfect at the top of the U13 standings following a 3-1 win over visiting Terminix La Horquetta Rangers.

Mark Thomas stunned the home support at San Juan North Secondary ground when he fired Rangers ahead after eight minutes.

But Devenish, a goalkeeper-turned-striker, hit back with three goals to keep Keith Jeffrey’s side ahead of the pack on 12 points, three points ahead of closest challengers W Connection.

Connection whipped Police 5-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Chaz Ford and a goal each from Aaron Raymond and Quincy Thomas.

Jabloteh followed up with a 2-1 win over Rangers in the U15 division but the San Juan club suffered their first defeat of the U17 campaign 4-3 against the La Horquetta lads.

Jemel Raymond snatched the winning item in stoppage-time for Rangers to avoid his side embarrassment after leading the game 3-nil through a double from Khalil Francis separated by a strike from Justin Modeste.

Jabloteh levelled play with a goal each from Tyrique Sutherland, Kyle Dwarika and Terrell Wiley before surrendering at the death as they continue to struggle in seventh on the U17 ladder without a win.

Connection leads the U17 table with 10 points, closely followed by Sando and Civic. While Civic (12), Morvant Caledonia United and Jabloteh (both on 10), in descending order, heads the U15 standings.

Civic are away to Connection next Sunday while Defence Force FC will host Sando at Queen’s Royal College Ground. North East Stars are hosts to Central and Morvant Caledonia will travel against Rangers, while Police will welcome Jabloteh at the Police Barracks outside field in St. James.

Inside the YPL: Wired868 finds familiar issues around player registration and club ‘adoptions’

After three shaky rounds with just 27 from 45 scheduled matches taking place, the Youth Pro League (YPL) finally had a full quota of games on the weekend. Once again, TT Pro League CEO Julia Baptiste blamed registration issues for the barrage of defaulted fixtures and forfeited points.

“If you don’t complete your registration before that [deadline] date, you will automatically default your first two matches or lose the points in your first two matches,” Baptiste told Wired868. “[The deadline] is to give teams the option to at least register 20 to 25 players in each age group. And it gives the League the opportunity to sort and make sure that everyone has everything.

“I know a lot of people believe that because its youth league, [we should just] let the youths play; but I don’t condone that. I don’t mind them playing. I want all of them to play but [they] must be registered and transferred, the way it should be done.”

The early season defaults due to registration problems is now a regular concern for the YPL. Last season, the failure of several clubs to make the deadline was somewhat overshadowed by a controversy involving the potential participation of the National Under-17 Team in the place of Morvant Caledonia United.

According to YPL regulations, clubs can register players from January up until roughly two weeks before the start of the competition. There are three divisions: Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17.

After the first two rounds of matches, a second registration window begins and remains open until the knockout competition. During the second registration period, any player can be used once his paperwork is submitted by noon, two days before kick off.

San Juan Jabloteh remain one of the most successful teams at YPL level and Technical Director Keith Jeffrey credited much of that to his club’s organisation.

“Some of the teams—maybe because of finance—don’t have administrators,” said Jeffrey. “A lot of the teams because of financial constraints, one person might have to do three jobs. It [is] a tedious task if you don’t have the man power.

“Jabloteh is a club at the youth level that is very organised, with an office and a staff. So the coaches don’t have to double up. I think that’s the problem.”

Another potential issue, Baptiste admitted, is the decision by several Pro League clubs to ‘adopt’ external sides to represent them in the YPL, which appears to exacerbate the registration issues. The adopted team has to transfer in an entire squad and often have little time to complete their paperwork.

This season, T&T Maestros, Pro Series, QPCC and Queen’s Royal College are all competing in the YPL on behalf of Morvant Caledonia, Central FC, North East Stars and Defence Force respectively.

It means that only half of the Pro League’s clubs—W Connection, Club Sando, Police FC, Point Fortin Civic, Terminix La Horquetta Rangers and Jabloteh—bothered to field youth teams.

“If it is you are adopting a team or a school or whatever, they may not be well aware of the process,” said Baptiste, “and so they might be slow in the process and not have everything done in time.”

Maestros and Morvant Caledonia United coach Sheldon de Freitas absolved the Pro League administration of blame.

“It’s not a difficult [registration] process,” said de Freitas. “It’s a matter of making your arrangements early and getting your arrangements clear… We had [some] problems coming down to the end but it might be a bit on us too, moving a [little] late.”

Stars owner Ryan Nunes, who outsourced his youth set-up to the ‘Parkites’, suggested that miscommunication and a lack of resources by the administrative body did play some part of the mix-ups.

“I just put it down to the miscommunication [of deadlines] and the volatility and instability of both organisations, the Pro League and TTFA,” said Nunes. “I think the difficulty with the registration process lies with the collection of information from parents. The Pro League demands the original birth certificate is seen and because it is such a priority document, parents are not willing to release it and that can result in delays.

“To add to that, the Pro League staffing is under resourced. They have a difficult time; no fault of theirs. And it’s pretty hard to get 130 documents all in order when they say go and you need it like next week.

“But what we have seen in the ‘FIFA connect/TT connect’ [process], it’s simple to upload and it would simplify the process going forward.”

Baptiste informed Wired868 that all registration forms must be attached to the player’s original birth certificate with a copy for the YPL to authenticate the information, along with the relevant transfer form and certificate.

For players transferring in from other competitions, such as the Republic Bank Youth League, the player’s YPL registration package must include a transfer certificate issued by the league that they are coming from.

For internal transfers—players moving from one YPL club to another—a YPL transfer form must be attached to the registration form, which should be stamped and signed by the two clubs and include a signature from the player and his parent along with a copy of the parent’s ID.

When a club is transferring only a handful of players, the process is simple enough. However, it can be a daunting challenge for clubs who have to register an entire roster.

Central FC Managing Director Brent Sancho, who represents the Pro League on the new Commission meant to oversee a merger between the Pro League and Trinidad and Tobago Super League, said the outsourcing of their youth team was due to financial constraints.

“We tried [running an academy] in the beginning and it just didn’t work out,” said Sancho. “I don’t think most people understand what it takes to run a professional club. [Clubs] just don’t have that money to truly develop a player. To run a full-fledged academy, you are looking at three to five million dollars a year, as there is a big difference between an academy and a coaching school.”

“There isn’t any money for it; and then part of the [issue] is with a kid’s registration [when], once he goes to play school football, he then becomes a school football player. The current rules don’t protect [the investment of] a professional club.”

De Freitas, whose Maestros team represented Central FC in 2017 and Morvant Caledonia in 2018 and 2019, was unconvinced by Sancho’s argument and felt the YPL’s composition of clubs was unfair. But he believes it is a necessary evil for teams like his.

“We just make the sacrifice because we want the players go on to that next level,” said de Freitas. “We want to give them that opportunity to hone their skills in a more competitive environment, especially the players who have that bit more potential.”

“[For Pro League clubs to pass the responsibility to run academies to other smaller teams] doesn’t auger well for football development at all. It’s a kind of cop-out by the Pro League teams that only take care of their senior players. That is short term [thinking].

“Their cry [is a lack of funds] but, for example, Maestros doesn’t have a sponsor. If we could do it [and put a youth team together] on these [limited] means, then why people who have a little funding can’t put it together?”

De Freitas argued that good should not be the enemy of better; and it is better to have a decent youth set-up than none at all.

“To do it properly requires funding but you could [still] do it like us,” said de Freitas, whose Maestros team has produced several national youth prospects of late including National U-15 starlet Abdul-Qudoos Hypolite. “We ain’t doing it all that professional but we’re trying our best. We still have our youths coming out, making national teams and getting scholarships.

“So there is still some measure of success with what we are doing, so why they can’t do it?”

Pro Series founder and head coach Paul Decle said the level of competition at YPL level was what appealed, when he was approached to field Central FC’s Under-13 team.

“The competition itself is great and [the] intensity is good,” said Decle, who is in his debut YPL season. “In terms of local football, it’s a stepping stone or a pathway for my players to continue to be challenged at the highest level that the country could offer.”

Nunes insisted Stars did not abdicate their responsibility but, rather, allowed QPCC the chance to partner with them for the 2019 season. He claimed several Stars players were busy studying for exams or training with the National Under-17 Team and that influenced their club’s decision.

“QPCC had approached us, along with three or four other academies and we felt the best fit was QPCC,” said Nunes, “and we added some of our players with their players. So the core of the team is QPCC; but it’s a blended team.”

Although Stars failed to make the registration deadline, they still played their opening fixtures against Morvant Caledonia and Civic. The latter teams were awarded the points but Nunes claimed Stars took the moral victory in the unofficial matches.

“North East played every game and beat every team [in the first two rounds],” said Nunes. “It would be classified as practice games—as they said we would not be officially registered—but it was in the spirit of giving the kids an opportunity to play. It was not so much about the points.”

Jeffrey does not believe in adopting youth teams and insisted that Jabloteh would not change their philosophy.

“Jabloteh is a club at the youth level that is very organised,” he said. “We run an academy and these different age groups so we don’t have those problems [like some other teams].

“[…] That is why W Connection, Club Sando and Jabloteh are the three leaders in that aspect. That is why at the end of the season, you will see those teams are always around the top three in all the divisions.”

The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Jabloteh heads into Easter break as U13, U15 leaders while Sando are new U17 frontrunners
T&T Pro League Media


San Juan Jabloteh heads into the Easter break top of the Under-13 and Under-15 divisions in the 2019 Youth Pro League, but the young "San Juan Kings" continue their struggle in the bottom half of the Under-17 division.

Club Sando are the new U17 leaders--albeit only by goal-difference as they are tied on 12 points with Point Fortin Civic--after the Angus Eve-coached bunch defeated Defence Force FC 3-0 on Sunday for a third consecutive win courtesy a first-half double from Kern Cedeno and a second-half strike from Jaden Mc Kree at Queen's Royal College.

Further north at Police Academy outside field, Kiel Lopez converted from the penalty spot in the 55th minute as hosts Police FC edged Jabloteh 1-0.

Jabloteh (3 points) are seventh on the U17 ladder. Morvant Caledonia United, Central FC and W Connection all on 10 points trail frontrunners Sando and Civic by two points while Police have 9 points.

Jabloteh U13s, though, remained the only perfect team in all divisions after the Keith Jeffrey coached-outfit made it five wins in five with a 3-0 result against their Police counterparts on Sunday morning.

Jeffrey was forced to use prolific scorer Thane Devenish in goal but Lindell Sween returned to the squad to bang in a first-half double after his side took the lead through an own goal.

Connection (12 points) are closest to Jabloteh (15 points) on the U13 ladder after a the young “Savonetta Boys” edged Civic 2-1 thanks to Chaz Ford’s sixth and seventh goals of the season to put him level on goals with leading scorer—Jabloteh’s Devenish.

Jabloteh (13 points) later moved top of the U15 standings for the first time this season after edging the Police 1-0 through an early Kyle Dwarika strike.

Terminix La Horquetta Rangers (12 points) also made upward movement to occupy second on the U15 standings with a 2-0 win over visiting Morvant Caledonia United after their U13 teams played to a 1-1 draw.

It was the first loss of the campaign for Morvant Caledonia U15s and first goals conceded when Isaiah Raymond and Jadan Clarke struck early for Rangers.

But Morvant Caledonia had the last say, whipping hosts Rangers 3-0 in the U17 division at D’Abadie Recreation Ground. Jardel Mitchell, Naeem Bisnath and Aden Lynch scored a goal each for the Jerry Moe-coached Morvant Caledonia.

YPL play will resume on Sunday 28 April when Club Sando hosts Morvant Caledonia United and Defence Force FC welcome Central FC. North East Stars must visit W Connection, Terminix La Horquetta Rangers travels to Police FC and San Juan Jabloteh returns home to welcome Point Fortin Civic.

Sween and Devenish push Jabloteh closer to U13 title; but Civic are new U15 and U17 frontrunners
T&T Pro League Media


San Juan Jabloteh are poised to lift the 2019 Under-13 title in the Youth Pro League before the end after a goal each from star forwards Lindell Sween and Thane Devenish secured a 2-0 win against visiting Point Fortin Civic on Sunday.

Jabloteh U13s (18 points) are now five points clear of rivals and second-positioned W Connection (13 points), who were held to a goalless draw by mid-table North East Stars. Central FC and Sando are third and fourth, respectively, with 11 points.

The Keith Jeffrey-coached Jabloteh youngsters picked up where they left off before the Easter break and remains the only perfect team in all divisions after six games with three left in the league competition.

Sween put Jabloteh U13s ahead with his sixth goal of the season arriving on 47 minutes at San Juan North Secondary before overall leading scorer Devenish, who surprisingly shuffles as goalkeeper or forward, put the match out of Civic’s reach with his eight goal of the campaign on 69 minutes.

Civic, however, struck back in the Under-15 and Under-17 divisions, edging Jabloteh 3-2 and 4-3, respectively, to move atop the respective standings.

Jalen Redman (4 & 20) scored an early brace and Simon Modeste (34) added the third Civic U15’s item before the half to lift the Point Fortin outfit top of the standings with 15 points, two ahead of Jabloteh (13 points) who scored late on either half through Kyle Dwarika (40) and Israel Joseph (80).

Police FC and Terminix La Horquetta Rangers follow closely in third and fourth, respectively, on the U15 ladder with 12 points.

Civic also boast 15 points at the top of the U17 standings, but the Point Fortin outfit are only two points clear of W Connection, Club Sando, the previous leaders who slipped two spots into third after a goalless draw with Morvant Caledonia United, and Central.

Connection U17s defeated North East Stars 4-0 and Central edged Defence Force FC 2-1 while Civic celebrated their fifth win from six games with a hard-fought 4-3 result over hosts Jabloteh.

Elsewhere, Terminix La Horquetta Rangers celebrated their first win of the season at U13 level with a shock 5-2 win over host Police FC at Police Academy.

Ky-mani Anthony (37), Kyle Moreno (43) and Tarique Abdulla (46) set the momentum for Rangers before a second-half double by Jeremiah Gabriel (55 & 60) reduced the deficit for Police. But a quick-fire double by Rangers’ Joshua Figaro (62 & 63) cemented the win for the visitors.

Police, however, hit back with huge wins in the U15 and U17 divisions against Rangers.

Nathaniel O’Garro (34, 51 & 66) led with a hat-trick with his fifth, sixth and seventh goals for Police U15s in a 7-0 win over Rangers that also saw Tristan Stafford (33), Kayshawn Hutchinson (42), Jaron Pascall (72) and Abdul-Qudoos Hypolite (78) put their names on the score sheet.

Police followed up with a 5-0 win against the visiting Rangers with Stephan Hoyte (4) opening the scoring early before Matthias Hinkson (16), Jesus De Lecia (29), from the penalty spot, Jardel John (71) and Dwight Jordan (82) each celebrated a goal.

Police will host Morvant Caledonia United when YPL action continues next Sunday (May 5). Connection will welcome Defence Force FC at Ato Boldon Stadium and further south Point Fortin Civic will host Terminix La Horquetta Rangers at Mahaica Oval.

Central FC are at home when they host Club Sando at Edinburgh 500 in Chaguanas, and North East Stars must visit San Juan Jabloteh at San Juan North Secondary.

North East Stars puts a spoke in the wheel of U-13 title favourites San Juan Jabloteh
T&T Pro League Media


Malik Addley struck in the second half to earn mid-table North East Stars a well-deserved point in a 1-1 draw against Youth Pro League Under-13 leaders San Juan Jabloteh on Sunday, slowing the title favourites for the first time this season.

Jabloteh (19 points) entered play needing a win against the visitors at San Juan North Secondary and for rivals W Connection to either lose or draw against cellar-placed Defence Force FC to celebrate the title with two games to spare.

But neither went Jabloteh’s way. North East Stars (9 points) snapped the San Juan side’s 100 percent streak while Connection (16 points) narrowly defeated Defence Force 3-2 at Ato Boldon Stadium to close the gap to three points on the leaders.

Jabloteh must face Defence Force FC and Club Sando in their remaining league fixtures while Connection are against Sando and Central FC.

North East Stars looked the better side in the first half with fluency though falling behind 1-0 on the stroke of the half.

Deshawn Plaza punished the height of North East Stars’ pint-sized goalie Michael Peter Hadad in the 35th minute with a looping shot from distance to give Jabloteh lead 1-0.

Hadad had earlier proved huge between sticks when he stretched low to his left to keep out a penalty strike from Joachim Callender after Raheem Mohan was tripped up in the box by North East Stars’ big defender Jaden Williams.

Williams, much earlier, troubled Jabloteh with a free kick before the rebound effort by a teammate crashed off the upright as Jabloteh were spared.

Kendell Castle tested Hadad again from distance early in the second half but the Stars goalie made just enough height to stop the ball from entering his net a second time.

Addley turned up the hero in the 55th-minute by levelling North East Stars 1-1 from close up with his second goal of the season when teammate Jadail Joseph’s effort dropped to him off goalkeeper Joshua Gonzales’ crossbar.

Elsewhere, Nkosi Fuentes scored his sixth, seventh and eighth goals of the season to lift Morvant Caledonia United U13s over hosts Police FC in a 7-5 thriller at Police Academy.

Fuentes joins Jabloteh’s Thane Devenish and Central FC’s Micha’el John in the U13 Golden Boot lead with eight goals.

John struck his eight item to edge Central past visiting Club Sando 1-0 at Edinburgh 500, extending the U13 Sharks’ unbeaten run to six games since losing to Jabloteh on the opening day of the season.

Jabloteh were also held in the Under-15 division by North East Stars with that score ending 2-2.

Juan Montealegre-Corriols (66 & 74) scored twice in the second half to level North East Stars U15s after Nkosi Ambrose (1), from the penalty spot, and Israel Joseph (9) cushioned Jabloteh early. Jabloteh’s problems spilled over when Keshawn Diaz was ejected six minutes from time on a direct red card.

Jabloteh (14 points) slipped two spots into fourth on the U15 ladder, while Police FC (15 points) became the new leaders after a 3-0 win over Morvant Caledonia United thanks to a double from overall leading scorer Nathaniel O’Garro, who snatched his eighth and ninth goals, and an opening item from Jaden Moore all in the second half.

Civic (15 points) slipped off the top into second after being edged 1-0 by Terminix La Horquetta Rangers. Rangers moved up to spots into third but remains below Civic by a lesser goal-difference.

Jabloteh later registered their first Under-17 win of the campaign with a 4-2 result over North East Stars as both teams occupy seventh and eighth on a standing led by Point Fortin Civic (18 points).

Civic maintained grip with a 4-1 win over Terminix La Horquetta Rangers but the Point Fortin side are closely chased by Club Sando and W Connection, two teams on 16 points with two games left.

The Angus Eve-coached Sando defeated hosts Central 3-0 at Edinburgh 500 with Jaden Mc Kree netting a double before Kern Cedeno completed the win while Terrell Noel scored in the second half to separate Connection from cellar-placed Defence Force FC with a narrow 1-0 victory.

Sando will return to action against Connection on Saturday when they host the “Savonetta Boys” at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, while Central will welcome Morvant Caledonia United at Edinburgh 500. On the same day Defence Force FC must visit Jabloteh at San Juan North Secondary while Rangers and North East Stars will clash at D’Abadie Recreation Ground.

On Sunday, Police FC will travel to Civic at Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin.

Jabloteh crowned Youth Pro League U-13 champions; qualifies for 2020 Concacaf U-13 Champions League
T&T Pro League Media


San Juan Jabloteh are champions of the youngest age-group division in the Youth Pro League (YPL) for a fifth consecutive time when they secured the 2019 Under-13 crown by their penultimate match day on Saturday.

The race for the YPL Under-15 and Under-17 titles, however, goes down to the wire on final league day next Sunday with four teams in each division still standing with a mathematical chance.

Jabloteh U13s, though, stretched their unbeaten run to eight from eight with a 6-1 win over bottom-placed Defence Force FC in front of home supporters at San Juan North Secondary to put an unassailable 22 points on the standings.

Defence Force fell behind after just three minutes when Malik Harraman inadvertently headed past his own goalkeeper Josiah Chandler before Jabloteh star forward Lindell Sween (9, 20 & 30) snatched his seventh, eighth and ninth goals of the season. Raheem Mohan (13) and Thane Devenish (17), another player on 9 goals, scored the other items for the eventual champions.

Roshaun Doobay converted from the penalty spot after 12 minutes to celebrate Defence Force's consolation item.

Jabloteh are Trinidad and Tobago's qualified team at the 2019 Concacaf U13 Champions League (August 10-17) as champions of last season’s YPL, and their follow-up this season earns them a fourth qualification at the international tournament in 2020.

Keith Jeffrey, head coach of the Jabloteh U13s, was in full praise of his players and staff after securing the division's league title and a place at next year’s Concacaf tournament.

“We have Thane [Devenish], our second choice goalkeeper we used as a wide outfield player and he scored nine goals in the tournament including two hat-tricks; Joachim Calendar, a stalwart at the back; Kendell Castle, who has improved in midfield; Ability Hazel, captain of the team who has done an excellent job in keeping a lot of clean sheets; and we have [Lindell] Sween, another top goal scorer for us. These players make up the backbone of the team that has made us successful for the 2019 season,” said a glowing Jeffrey.

He added, “Coaches Dave Weekes and Andre ‘Andy’ Morales have assisted me in the success of the team. The administrative managers making everything possible administratively are Charmaine Villafana and Cyril George.

"It was a total effort and the success belongs to everyone at the club.”

Jeffrey, who is also technical director and first team head coach of the San Juan club, said winning the youngest age-group a fifth time in a row shows the level of standard set by Jabloteh in youth football.

"We have a brand in our youth programme,” he pointed out. “ …and we ask players coming into Jabloteh to honour this brand which has a history of success.”

Rivals W Connection (17 points) and Central FC (15 points) in second and third respectively after both sides were held to a 2-2 draw by Club Sando and Morvant Caledonia United, respectively, are left to battle for U13 runners-up.

Jabloteh U13s, meanwhile, are looking ahead to the Youth Pro League Cup (knockout) May 26 – June 16, and the Concacaf U13 Champions League in August.

Jeffrey said the YPL Cup competition will provide a huge challenge for his outfit, pointing out that U13 teams such as Central, North East Stars and Sando are very good teams. “In knockout it’s on the day so we must prepare to go very hard. It will be a final for us against every team we face.”

“We welcome the challenges as we prepare for the Concacaf [U13] Champions League. We reached the quarterfinals the two times before and this year we want to go one step further. So everything now will fall under our preparation for Concacaf,” ended Jeffrey.

Jabloteh visit Sando at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium on Sunday 19 May for their final league match before the Youth Pro League knockout competition begins around the corner—May 26 – June 16.

Sando (19 points) leads the U17 table after eking a 1-0 win over Connection but Angus Eve’s players are just one point ahead of Police FC and Civic (both on 18 points) after the young Blues defeated the Point Fortin side 3-1 on Sunday.

Connection and Central (both on 16 points) occupy fourth and fifth on the U17 standings ahead of next Sunday’s final match day.

Terminix La Horquetta Rangers (18 points) leads the U15 standings and will welcome Defence Force on Sunday at D’Abadie Recreation Ground in hopes of holding off Jabloteh (17 points), Police (16 points) and Civic (16 points) for the division’s title.

Other final league day fixtures includes Civic hosting Morvant Caledonia United at Mahaica Oval and Police against host North East Stars at Hasely Crawford Stadium.

Civic are new U15 champions; Rangers U15s to join U13, U17 outfits in Cup playoffs
TTproleague.Media.


Point Fortin Civic are champions of the Youth Pro League 2019 Under-15 division, a follow up of last season's Under-18 title, after beating runners-up Police FC to the crown by three points after Terminix La Horquetta Rangers were overturned as champions due to player ineligibility.

Civic are one of four U15 teams (Morvant Caledonia United, North East Stars and Defence Force FC the others) to have their losses against Rangers reversed by the League.

The league rules state: “Any team playing an unregistered or otherwise ineligible player or players shall have the points gained in the match(es) played deducted from its total points earned and may be subject to further sanctions at the discretion of the Board.

“In addition, the opposing teams in all such instances shall be awarded three points and three goals. This will also be reflected in the overall statistics of the league competition. Any team which would have achieved a higher score than mentioned above in winning any such game will maintain the score.”

Rangers U15s, as a result, dropped seven spots into eighth and must join their Under-13 and Under-15 teams in the Richard Fakoory Memorial Youth Pro League Cup (knockout) play-offs on Sunday 26 May.

Rangers U13s will face Defence Force from 10am at Ato Boldon Stadium before their U15 and U17 teams tackle North East Stars from 2pm and 4pm respectively at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium for quarter-final spots.

Other play-offs include Point Fortin Civic against Police FC in the U13 division from 10am at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium and Defence Force taking on W Connection in U15 action and San Juan Jabloteh in the U17 division from 2pm and 4pm respectively at Ato Boldon Stadium.

Jabloteh, last season's YPL Cup finalist in all three divisions, captured this season's U13 league title while last season's Cup U16 winners Club Sando won the league's U17 division.

Rangers secure place in Youth Pro League quarters.
By Joel Bailey (Newsday).


TERMINIX La Horquetta Rangers are through to the Under-15 quarter-finals of the Richard Fakoory Memorial Youth Pro League Cup (YPL Cup) after progressing out of last Sunday’s play-offs.

Jadon Clarke struck his first hat-trick at the Youth Pro League to lift Rangers past their North East Stars Under-15 counterparts with a 3-0 win at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella, cooling disappointment after they were stripped of the U-15 league crown a week ago due to player ineligibility.

Rangers, ironically, must return to the Marabella venue to face U-15 league champions Point Fortin Civic from 2 pm on quarter-final Sunday—June 2.

Rangers Under-13s also progressed from the play-offs and will face U-13 league runners-up Central FC in the quarter-finals from 10 am at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field.

Defence Force FC U-13s enjoyed a 4-2 result against their Rangers counterparts in what was supposed to be their first win of the season in all competitions, but the result was later overturned due to player ineligibility.

Rangers Under-17s, however, ended with nine men – Emmanuel Hunte and Akidoon Weeks red carded – and on the wrong end of a 2-0 loss against North East Stars at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium.

Andrew de Gannes and Joshua Lewis both converted from the penalty spot in the second half to send North East Stars through to the quarter-finals against U-17 league winners Club Sando at the same Marabella venue from 4 pm.

San Juan Jabloteh, last season’s defeated Cup finalists in all three divisions, will tackle Police FC in the U-13 and U-17 divisions, and Central FC in the U-15 age group with all three quarter-final matches to be contested at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva. The U-13 and U-17 matches will be contested on the main field of the Couva venue from 10 am and 4 pm, respectively, while the U-15 contest will be played on the training field from 2 pm.

Police U-13s advanced from the play-offs when they defeated Point Fortin Civic 4-2 to meet U-13 league champions Jabloteh.

Other quarter-final match-ups will see W Connection take on Club Sando in the U-13 division from 10 am at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, and North East Stars against Morvant Caledonia United in the same division and same time at the Ato Boldon Stadium training field.

Police FC and Connection will clash from 2 pm at Ato Boldon Stadium in the U-15 quarter-finals while Morvant Caledonia are against Club Sando in the same division simultaneously at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field.

In the U-17 age-group, Connection and Morvant Caledonia face each other from 4 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium training field, and Point Fortin Civic takes on Central FC simultaneously at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium training field.

Jabloteh repeats U-13 Youth Pro League champs.
By Keith Clement (Guardian).


Cameron Gul­ston reg­is­tered a beaver-trick to lead San Juan Jabloteh to a 7-1 maul­ing of Cen­tral FC in the Un­der-13 Di­vi­sion of T&T Youth Pro League Richard Fakoory Memo­r­i­al Cup fi­nal at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va, on Sun­day.

Win­ners of the di­vi­sion­al league crown for a fourth straight sea­son last month, Jabloteh stormed in­to the lead as ear­ly as the first minute via Gul­ston, who added fur­ther strikes in the 18th, 65th and 71st min­utes.

Myeki­ah Hay­wood added a pair of goals in the 16th and 31st and An­tho­ny Alexan­der al­so got his name on the score­sheet in the 42nd, while Eli­jah Wong net­ted Cen­tral FC’s con­so­la­tion item in the 47th.

While Jabloteh cruised to its ti­tle tri­umph, Club San­do's Un­der-15s and W Con­nec­tion's Un­der-17s se­cured their ti­tles on penal­ty-kicks af­ter 1-1 draws.

In the Un­der-15 de­cider, Po­lice went ahead against Club San­do in the 48th minute through Ra­heem At­i­ba, on­ly to be pegged back by Alex Cha­con-Her­nan­dez’s 63rd-minute equalis­er, be­fore the south­ern team snatched vic­to­ry 3-1 via penal­ty kicks.

Club San­do had a chance at an­oth­er ti­tle in the Un­der-17 Di­vi­sion but fell 5-4 on penal­ty kicks to W Con­nec­tion fol­low­ing a 1-1 dead­lock.

This af­ter Nir­van Ram­nar­ine tied up the score for W Con­nec­tion in the 79th minute from the penal­ty spot af­ter Ad­i­ca Ash had fired Club San­do ahead in the 39th.

Griffith confirms green light for youth team sport, YPL to kick off on 12 July.
Wired868.com.


Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith confirmed this evening that youth team sport can commence immediately, despite a statement from chief medical officer Dr Roshan Parasram, who said all children activities should wait until September.

Griffith said that, after a few calls, he can now clarify that Parasram was referring to activities like children’s camps and not organised sport for young men and women.

“Just to clarify, I liaised with the minister of national security because there seemed to be some confusion and youth team managers were contacting me for clarification,” Griffith told Wired868. “And as stated by the prime minister and confirmed by the minister of national security, all team sport is allowed from 22 June and that includes youth team sport.

“What the CMO was referring to was situations like summer camps but for things like the Youth Pro League, permission was already given [to run the competition]. You also have players who are under-18 and training with national senior teams and obviously you are not going to ban them.

“One lingering issue might be with spectators like parents and so on who would want to congregate for games; and that is something we want to rectify. But youth teams can start training and playing games with immediate effect.”

It means that Trinidad and Tobago’s youth football teams can finally emerge from hibernation due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The Youth Pro League is scheduled to start on 12 July with 12 teams involved.

Youth Pro League on hold... SSFL to be decided on.
Jonathan Ramnanansingh (Newsday).


THE Youth Pro League has not been given clearance to kick off, in August, as originally scheduled.

Additionally, the Ministry of Education has been handed the responsibility to say whether or not the 2020 Secondary Schools’ Football League (SSFL), which is set for September, can proceed.

This was revealed by Chief Medical Officer Roshan Parasram during Saturday’s virtual media conference held by the Ministry of Health.

“With regards to any activity in which children are participating before September, we are in the middle of a pandemic and things can’t be as they were before. We are asking please with any activities related to children be held until September,” said Parasram.

He added, “With regards to SSFL, that is a matter for the Ministry of Education to determine in terms of their extracurricular activities. I would have a meeting earlier this week with the permanent secretary (Lenore Baptiste-Simmons) and chief education officer (Harrilal Seecharan) to discuss the guidelines going forward when school reopens in September.”

According to the CMO, the Ministry of Health will send a draft guideline to the education ministry by early next week. This will be used to determine if there will, in fact, be any extracurricular activities taking place in schools.

Dr Parasram vetoes U-18 sport competition before Sept, Griffith: CMO makes ‘absolutely no sense’
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868).


Chief medical officer Dr Roshan Parasram appeared to veto the 2020 Youth Pro League (YPL) today as he drew a line under his previous stance: no children’s competition before September.

“With regards to any activity in which children are participating before September, and as we have said time and time again,” said Dr Parasram, “we have to recall we are in the middle of a pandemic and things can’t be as they were before. We are asking, please, let all activities related to children be held [back] until September.”

The CMO’s verdict contradicted an assurance from Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith, who, on 22 June, suggested that pre-teens and teenagers were in a separate category.

“Just to clarify, I liaised with the minister of national security because there seemed to be some confusion and youth team managers were contacting me for clarification,” Griffith told Wired868. “And as stated by the prime minister and confirmed by the minister of national security, all team sport is allowed from 22 June and that includes youth team sport.

“What the CMO was referring to was situations like summer camps but for things like the Youth Pro League, permission was already given [to run the competition]. You also have players who are under-18 and training with national senior teams and obviously you are not going to ban them.

“[…] Youth teams can start training and playing games with immediate effect.”

Dr Parasram made it clear that this was not so.

“It is not what I consider [a child], there is a legal definition,” said Dr Parasram. “I asked for my Ministry of Health legal officer to confirm and they have confirmed to me that 18 and under is considered a child—based on the legislation.”

Dr Parasram’s assertion prompted a rebuke from the commissioner of police who claimed that the CMO was contradicting the Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh.

“It continues to be reported that the CMO is stating that persons under 18 years old cannot take part in competitive tournaments,” sad Griffith. “I wish to clarify that I do not make public comments, and direct the Police, based on my personal view—but based on Laws, Regulations and being briefed by relevant officials to adhere to national policies.

“When asked for clarification by TT Youth Pro League and other youth tournament officials, as to whether such youth tournaments can proceed, I do not communicate with the CMO to be guided but the relevant line ministers.

“Upon which the AG (Faris Al-Rawi), Minister of Health and Minister of National Security (Stuart Young) clearly told me that such tournaments can proceed, and I advised the youth tournament officials as such.

“To hear again that the CMO is stating otherwise, is confusing the life out of my officers as well as sporting officials, parents and players—as the football goal post is literally being shifted every time the CMO speaks on this matter.”

Griffith stood by his earlier assertion that Deyalsingh and Minister of National Security Stuart Young both gave clearance for youth competition to resume, which was relayed to the YPL.

Griffith suggested that Dr Parasram’s view on the threat posed by Covid-19 on athletes under the age of 18 ‘makes absolutely no sense’.

“From a personal view, I agreed with the view of the line ministers, because the logic of the CMO is that it is not a Covid threat if a 16 or 17 yr old trains daily with his football team,” said Griffith, “but if they take part in a tournament, then the Covid virus would lift its head and kick in. In fact, it is just the opposite.

“A club can have 25 young players presently train in a small huddle, but a tournament involves 11 a side playing in a 100 yard by 60 yard field—hence showing that those training can be even more susceptible to being infected than in a tournament.

“So to state that persons can train but not participate in a tournament, is alluding to  Covid being a shrewd, tactical virus that is not a threat for minors if they train; but if they take part in a tournament, it then becomes a serious risk for a minor.

“Likewise if there are 17-year-old players in a national senior sporting team, the CMO is stating that they are at risk to being affected and hence should not be on an adult team, but an 18 year old on the same team is not as risk and can train.”

At present, Griffith’s son, Gary Griffith III, is one of several minors who are training with the Men’s National Senior Team under current football head coach Terry Fenwick.

A government source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, hinted that Griffith was right. However, the CMO’s public position was supposedly meant to discourage unregulated sporting activities between minors.

The government, allegedly, has tacitly agreed with the commissioner of police to ‘turn a blind eye’ to competitions such as the YPL; and there is nothing in the health regulations to penalise sanctioned youth sport tournaments.

The Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), in theory, should avoid the confusion as competition there does not restart until September. However, the CMO said the upcoming schools season will hinge on the go-ahead from the Ministry of Education—which must weigh up the guidelines for competition handed down by the Ministry of Health.

“[The 2020 SSFL season] is a matter for our Ministry of Education to determine, in terms of their extracurricular activities,” said Dr Parasram. “So I would have had a meeting earlier this week—with the PS and the Chief Education Officer—to discuss the guidelines going forward when school reopens in September.

“The Ministry of Health will send a draft guideline to them early next week and they will then utilise that to determine if there will be extracurricular activities, which will be a decision that the Ministry of Education has to make.

“We will [also] give them guidelines as it relates to activities during normal school hours.”

Interim Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) president Phillip Fraser, who is also a director at YPL bigwigs, San Juan Jabloteh, said the CMO’s public sentiment was a hammer blow for youth club teams. However, he agrees that health of the nation’s children is the first priority.

“The Pro League [board] was waiting until Wednesday to decide [the fate of the 2020 YPL season]—but based on what the CMO said, I think we can make that call right now!” Fraser said. “It is a big blow to the children. Of course we have to protect the children, first and foremost. But they have a lot of energies right now.

“The amount of children who are in the savannah now readying for the Pro League and coming out to train, you can see the enthusiasm. You know what it is to tell them now that next week is the last week for training until further notice?”

Fraser said the SSFL still has its own deliberations to make about the 2020 schools competition and he could not say much about that until the various zones have met.

“What [instructions] we gave all the zones is to come up with all their suggestions before we decide—based on what we have before us,” he said. “[…] First things first, is the Ministry guidelines; and then zones have to come up with possible contingencies when the restrictions are lifted.”

Fraser, who was elected as the SSFL first vice-president last year, succeeded William Wallace as president on Monday when the latter resigned the post. Wallace, who is also Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president, formally handed in his resignation to the SSFL general secretary on Thursday.

Decision on Youth Pro League Thursday
By Ryan Bachoo (Guardian).


Minister of National Security Stuart Young has cleared the air on whether the Youth Pro League can go ahead or not. There were conflicting messages from the Ministry of Health and the Commissioner of Police on whether the league can kick-off in August. At Saturday’s virtual press conference with the Ministry of Health, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Roshan Parasram said all events with children should be held back until September.

However, Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said permission was granted from the health ministry for the Youth Pro League to go on.

And at yesterday’s virtual Ministry of Health media conference, Young addressed the matter. He said, “The CMO’s advice is exactly as he stated but the regulations don’t prevent it so at the end of the day there is no law that is being broken but the medical advice is for them just to be cautious so I don’t think this is a conversation that can continue to mushroom.”

Young confirmed both he and the Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh has had conversations with commissioner Griffith “including on Saturday”.

The CMO has advised that activities with children be withheld for the next two months, “Children should have been held until September. The regulations, as far as I know, don’t speak to the age of persons being able to conduct any sort of activity,” Dr Parasram said.

A source close to the league who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity said that "A decision on whether organisers will honour the CMO’s advice and postpone the start of the league could be made as early as today when the matter comes before a board meeting of the league today."

When contacted by Guardian Media Sports Commissioner Griffith said, "These comments continue to do nothing other than to confuse the life out of my Police Officers, as they are the individuals who have to enforce the law, and likewise parents as they are left to wonder if their children playing sport is against the law. As Commissioner of Police, to clarify this issue, the answer is no.

There is no law preventing any young person from participating in a sport. All that is required is that extra-curricular activity and sport, must not have more than the stipulation of numbers established in the Public Health Ordinance Regulations.

The CMO does not draft, approve, or enforce laws. I have received absolutely no policy from any Government official to stop any young person from taking part in sport. In fact, as the COP, preventing or trying to persuade young people not to play sport after being boxed in their homes for months, is an avenue that can frustrate many young persons and hence their energies can very well be diverted in non-productive, if not criminal avenues, hence these continuous comments trying to prevent young people from playing a sport, are indeed a liability from a TTPS perceptive, and does not help us in our role and function.

These strange comments yet again, are said without taking any consideration into the role of the TTPS, because what is the TTPS supposed to do? Go to every sporting ground, every football game, and start checking ID cards to see dates of birth?

Likewise, based on their logic, if an athlete is a 16 or 17 years’ old who is a very fit, healthy, high-intensity athlete or national player in a contact sport, it becomes a concern, but not if the athlete is 18 years or over. I challenge them to show what data they can produce to show this. The CMO seems to have a concern about a 16 or 17-year-old playing sport, but he does not have a concern when a set of children are packed into a cinema watching a movie.

Dozens of elderly persons, 80 years of age and above, playing bingo in an enclosed room, may be more susceptible to getting the virus than the same number of young, fit, healthy kids playing football, so the CMO may need to monitor such real concerns and not that of young persons trying to stay fit and healthy.

This can now also confuse National teams and Men and Women Club teams. The logic of the CMO and whoever else wants to support him is that if anyone is under 18 years, but on a National Senior team, or a Men or Women Club team, that they can be at risk to getting the Virus.

This makes very little sense, as again, there is nothing to show that a 16 or 17-year-old in a national or club team is going to be more prone to being a patient to COVID-19, to others who are 18 or 19 years on the same field.

There are however several measures that can be used to safeguard the concerns of the CMO, and it is not by telling young people not to play Sport, but simple protocols prior to, and after training and tournament matches, such as no huddling before and after games, no sharing of snacks etc, persuade non-attendance of supporters, which are basic policies done in other countries."

The Youth Pro League was scheduled to start last Sunday with 12 teams taking part in the competition. The clubs taking part in the competition include AC Port-of-Spain, QPCC, Morvant Caledonia United, W Connection, Central FC, San Juan Jabloteh, Cunupia FC, Point Fortin Civic, Club Sando, Police FC, Defence Force and Terminix La Horquetta Rangers.

Youth Pro League called off for now.
By Walter Alibey (Guardian).


A decision was taken by the Board of Directors of the T&T Pro League during a meeting on Thursday, a day after Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said permission was granted by the Ministry of Health for the Youth Pro League to go ahead as planned.

Chairman of the T&T Pro League Brent Sancho said: " The Board decided at present to not pursue the playing of the Youth Pro League because of the statements of the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Roshan Parasram which clearly states that, although it is not against the law, it is not advised."

Sancho did not rule out the action in the youth pro league entirely, saying if permission is granted for the Secondary Schools Football League in September then there could be a change in plans, but he said, for now, the Board believes it is the best position to take at this time.

And Wednesday’s virtual Ministry of Health media press conference, Minister of National Security Stuart Young had cleared the air on whether the Youth Pro League can go ahead or not. He said, “The CMO’s advice is exactly as he stated but the regulations don’t prevent it so at the end of the day there is no law that is being broken but the medical advice is for them just to be cautious so I don’t think this is a conversation that can continue to mushroom.”

The CMO has advised that activities with children be withheld for the next two months, “Children should have been held until September. The regulations, as far as I know, don’t speak to the age of persons being able to conduct any sort of activity,” Dr Parasram said.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Griffith said on Wednesday that, "Based on their logic, if an athlete is a 16 or 17 years’ old who is a very fit, healthy, high-intensity athlete or national player in a contact sport, it becomes a concern, but not if the athlete is 18 years or over. I challenge them to show what data they can produce to show this. The CMO seems to have a concern about a 16 or 17-year-old playing sport, but he does not have a concern when a set of children are packed into a cinema watching a movie."

However, Sancho was high in praise for the Commissioner Griffith for his attempts to ensure that there is play for the youths. "I would like to personally thank Mr Griffith for his pursuit and his counsel of the entire matter. I think he has been superb in all that he has been trying to facilitate for us and for youth football."

The Central FC owner and managing director sought to dismiss hints that the youth pro league could be held once there are proper social distancing measures put in place, saying: "We have a comprehensive COVID document that the League has prepared, we have a lot of procedural measures in place, and therefore it goes back to what I said originally, the CMO has advised, and we feel that the responsible thing to do is to opt-out at this present time."

Regarding the senior Pro League tournament, the former national defender now turns football administrator said they are having extensive discussions going on. "We have meetings next week with the Sports Company, we have had extensive discussions on the season and clubs are committed to playing football this year for sure."

CMO, Deyalsingh must review youth sports participation.
By Andre E Baptiste (Guardian).


Many will say that the youth of this country will determine the future rise or fall of society in all aspects from economical to social or simply mental planning and awareness.

However, it appears to be nothing simple in the thought process of those that define what our youths in sports can do as we continue to focus on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and how it is affecting all aspects of life.

At a time when the youth of this beautiful twin island seem at odds to cope with many of the necessary demands of all that has happened particularly over the last five months and appear in need of a proper outlet, comes the distressing news that the advice from the Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram is that our youths (under 18) should not be involved in team sports which has led to the Pro league cancelling its youth league apparently as a result and other event and organizations confused and in disarray as our youth stand transfixed in time.

If this was not true then we would have expected the CMO and the Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh to refute such a claim but sadly that has not been forthcoming and instead many youngsters have told me, they are going to turn “away from sports because of the current situation “.

Many have alluded to the fact that both men appear uncertain on sports and how to approach the subject and its advantages simply because they themselves never played during their youth which makes it challenging for them to understand the need that teangers have with regards to expressive themselves through a sporting activity.

It is one thing to be cautious as we have seen with other sports not just here in T&T but around the world. If indeed the only plan is to just follow the World Health Organization (WHO), then alert us, so that everyone can read the same playbook and avoid the necessary heartache and pain being instilled on parents and students. Sometimes, you get the sense that avoiding a discussion that is critical and vital as this, some in Health believe that it will just go away, but in reality it will not because it affects thousands of lives.

<Ireland on youth’s participation>

Here's an example with some extracts from the June 2020 interim report regarding Ireland on youth’s participation in sports in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and it is significant and important in terms of risk and overall assessment:

The purpose of this document is to outline both the necessary measures which should be taken before the return of children and adolescents (up to the age of 18 years) to play and sports activities in the community, such as organized sports and summer camps, as well as the ongoing measures which need to be taken to continue to reduce the risk of COVID-19. These measures are aimed at risk minimization of COVID-19 amongst children and adolescents returning to sports activities, their families and the wider surrounding community, recognizing the importance of those activities for health and wellbeing

2. Risk assessment

In each event, and up to date risk assessment should be conducted to determine the risk level for COVID-19 transmission related to the particular activity or sport, and what additional measures are needed to reduce this risk.

Different activities and sports carry different degrees of risk related to the level of close contact involved. Team sports, for example, can largely be categorized into contact and non-contact sports, with contact sports carrying a higher risk of virus transmission:

• • Contact sport is an activity, particularly a team activity, in which by participating you are coming into close contact with others as part of competing or taking part in that activity – for example, physical contact sport like rugby and sport where there is close contact like Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, football, basketball, hockey, swimming or a rowing crew.

Non-contact sports – activities in which you can comfortably maintain a two-metre distance from others while participating – for example running, tennis, cycling or golf.

The risk associated with each sport or activity also varies depending on the level at which you are playing the sport or conducting the activity.

The following grading system is an example of how to stratify the various levels of risk associated with different stages of sports or activities, but the timing of when they can be initiated needs to be in line with the Government Road map and is for each sports organization to determine how best this is to be operationalized

• • Grade 1 – practicing sporting drills, skills and exercises at home with only family present

• • Grade 2 – team or group-based practice within your community practising drills, skills etc., without physical contact between participants

• • Grade 3 – competition within your team/activity group which involves physical contact such as a practice match during your weekly training involving only people from your team

• • Grade 4 – competition involving physical contact between different teams/groups from the same geographical area, for example from the same county

• • Grade 5 - a competition involving physical contact between different teams/groups from different geographical areas, for example, different counties or provinces

Therefore, going forward, we need to urge the CMO and the Minister of Health to try to better understand the role that sports play in life and in our national community development.

‘We are guided by the CMO’; Sportt blocks youth activities at gov’t-run facilities.
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868).


The Trinidad and Tobago government will not actively block youth sporting competitions, like the Youth Pro League, from going ahead before September. However, they will need to find their own venues to play on.

This morning, Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Sportt) official Justin Latapy-George spelt out their policy position to national sporting organisations. And, although Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram and Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith have differed on the subject, Sportt will follow the CMO’s guidance.

So, all government-run sporting facilities—including the national football stadia—will not be made available for any children’s sports.

“[…] As a special interest company of the [Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs], all policies, procedures, etc of the GORTT, inclusive of any laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago,” stated Latapy-George, “must, and will be, adhered to by Sportt.

“As such, please note that Sportt’s current position re the classification of child communicated by the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), and the limitations articulated relative to this classification, will be adhered to by SPORTT.

“In addition to this, please note that as a general rule of thumb, all policies, procedures, laws, etc enacted nationally will always be automatically applied to Sportt, when and where relevant.”

Sportt corporate communications officer Kevin Garcia confirmed that Latapy-George’s email was an accurate representation of the body’s internal policy, which will immediately impact on a variety of youth sport including athletics, swimming, hockey and gymnastics.

The debate on whether or not youth sporting competition should be permitted over July/August—traditionally the high period for such activities—came into focus recently as Griffith insisted that children were free to play in organised competition and encouraged them to do so.

“The CMO does not draft, approve, or enforce laws,” said Griffith, in a statement sent to Wired868. “I have received absolutely no policy from any government official to stop any young person from taking part in sport.

“In fact, as the CoP, preventing or trying to persuade young people not to play sport after being boxed in their homes for months, is an avenue that can frustrate many young persons. And hence their energies can very well be diverted in non-productive, if not criminal avenues.

“Hence these continuous comments trying to prevent young people from playing sport, are indeed a liability from a TTPS perceptive, and does not help us in our role and function.

“[…] When certain persons never kicked a lime in contact sport, they may not understand the bigger picture.”

However, Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh backed Dr Parasram at a virtual media conference on Thursday—even as he admitted that there were no regulations that prohibited children’s activities.

“We cannot legislate for everything—there comes a time when parents have to make a decision,” said Deyalsingh. “These are your children [and] with the evidence of the changing epidemiology and how children under five are now dying, […] are you prepared to take that risk with your child?”

For Sportt, Dr Parasram’s advice is as good as law. Youth sporting activities will remain on hold at state facilities until September.

It is uncertain whether the Sportt decision would affect the Youth Pro League, since most youth football teams now use community grounds. However, YPL organisers hope to get written clearance from the CMO or the Ministry of Health—so as to placate parents.

A written blessing from the Ministry of Health, under the current circumstances, is unlikely.

‘Thousands of youth frustrated by one man’; Griffith vows to hold Commissioner’s Cup—with over 2,000 minors.
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868).


The Youth Pro League (YPL) pulled the plug on its 2020 competition today while the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Sportt) officially closed all government-run facilities to minors, which will immediately impact on youth sport over a wide range of disciplines.

However, not only will Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith again hold the Commissioner’s Cup Football Tournament—but he suggested that he might have an expanded competition, which includes YPL teams.

The Commissioner’s Cup usually plays on community fields and should not be particularly inconvenienced by Sportt’s move to deny access to youth activities.

The YPL competition involves 12 teams competing in three age groups: under-14, under-16 and under-18. Last year, the Commissioner’s Cup had 46 teams in as many categories.

It means that, even without inviting YPL teams to join, the Commissioner’s Cup is likely to encourage well over 2,000 children to get on to the football field.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram urged organisers of youth competition to wait until September before engaging in any activity—his stance was supported by Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh and relayed by Sportt official Justin Latapy-George to national sporting organisations.

Griffith is sticking to his guns, though, and expressed his disappointment with Sportt’s position.

“Unlike the Sport Company—I don’t know who they work on behalf of—but I work on policy, regulation and law,” Griffith told Wired868, “and the Minister of National Security [Stuart Young] made it clear that there is no law that stops young people from taking part in team sport. However the Sport Company has now seen it fit to make a decision based on the perception of one person.

“[…] The CMO apparently has no problem with hundreds of young people being on top of each other at a water park; but he has a problem with a 17 year old who can do 14 [laps] in a beep test being engaged in physical activity.”

Yesterday, Dr Parasram held firm on his view that youth activity should be put on hold, so as to avoid a potential spike in Covid-19 infections—although Trinidad and Tobago has not had a local case in two months.

Dr Parasram and Deyalsingh conceded that there is no rule that prohibits youth sport. But the minister of health urged parents not to take any chances.

“We cannot legislate for everything—there comes a time when parents have to make a decision,” said Deyalsingh. “These are your children [and] with the evidence of the changing epidemiology and how children under five are now dying, […] are you prepared to take that risk with your child?”

Not for the first time, Griffith suggested that the view of the medical experts was adversely affected by a supposed lack of information about local youth sport.

The commissioner of police pointed out that YPL matches have few patrons at the sidelines, so there is virtually no chance of large congregations in contravention of Covid-19 regulations. And he reiterated his belief that the nation’s young men and women are better off doing outdoor activities.

Most important, as far as Griffith is concerned, is the fact that the government officially lifted restrictions on team sport since last month.

“Unlike the Sport Company I don’t work on personal opinion, I adhere to the law,” said Griffith. “It is unfortunate that the Sport Company has chosen to ban youth players from all across the country from being involved in physical activity, which can lift their resistance—so they can fit off potential illness and even serve as a deterrent for crime.

“I am seriously considering speaking to clubs from the Youth Pro League and inviting them to take part in the Commissioner’s Cup this year. There are thousands of young people who want to play sport now after being cooped up for months; and now they are frustrated because one individual gives his personal opinion and the Sport Company decides to act on it and deprives teams of the chance to play.”

Griffith also rebutted claims from an international website, Inside World Football, which has spent the last year attacking critics of former Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president David John-Williams—a list that includes current president William Wallace, TTFA technical committee chairman Keith Look Loy and Men’s National Senior Team head coach Terry Fenwick.

Last week, the site claimed that money meant to provide scholarships for local talent to Sunderland University had gone missing. Griffith said it was nonsense.

“We are trying to get best young talent in the country to take up possible scholarships in the United Kingdom,” said Griffith. “And despite those mischievous comments, in fact not one cent has been allocated for that purpose yet. What we are trying to do is get the private sector involved to help fund it.

“The spaces are there waiting for us at Sunderland University.”

The Commissioner’s Cup has not yet given an official kick off date but, according to Griffith, should start in early August.
