Guaya goes top; Superstarz humbled in Guayaguayare
By Lasana Liburd (Wired868)
Pole position in the Blink/bMobile National Super League (NSL) changed hands this afternoon in Guayaguayare as host team, Guaya United, whipped Westside Superstarz 4-2 in the meeting between the League’s first and second placed teams at the Guaya Recreation Ground.
The result saw Guaya leapfrog Superstarz to first place while the latter team slipped to third.
In another key match-up, Club Sando held off Stokely Vale 2-1 at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva to move to second place with Vale remaining fourth.
Elsewhere in the NSL, 1976 FC Phoenix managed its first win of the season with a 3-1 home triumph over Malabar FC while FC Santa Rosa’s miserable form continued as the Arima club was thrashed 5-1 by Siparia Spurs at the UTT Campus in O’ Meara.
There were ties aplenty too as defending champions WASA FC was held 1-1 by newly promoted Bethel United in Tobago and Real Maracas and Defence Force played to a 2-2 draw in Maracas, St Joseph.
The main action was on the south-eastern tip of the island, though, as early pace setters Guaya United and Westside Superstarz went head to head.
Trinidad and Tobago national football team head coach Stephen Hart was in attendance along with two television stations and a few hundred enthusiastic supporters.
The hosts did not disappoint while Superstarz fluffed their lines. The match was effectively finished after 45 minutes and, to the frustration of Superstarz coach and former national stand-out striker Nigel Pierre, much of the damage was self-inflicted.
Guaya, which was anchored by a central midfield pairing of captain Ryan Stewart and two-time World Youth Cup skipper Leston Paul, opened the scoring after just 11 minutes as 19-year-old winger Russell Alfred ran inside the opposing full back and thumped a left footer high into the far corner.

There are no tips to pick up. Play in the heart of the community and you'll attract lots of people. Problem is, the surfaces are sub Pro League standard. This is not a prima donna issue, clubs and the national team can't afford their best players breaking an ankle on an uneven surface.

Wouldn't it be something if Hart start pulling men who never had a look-see on the national team, interesting times these.
