I believe there have been problems caused by Manny Ramjohn being unable for use and apparently Hasely Crawford has now been taking out of use for football during January and February because it will be used for fetes (only in T&T could the national sports stadium be unavailable for sport for two months!)
Therefore, as I understand it, there has been a fixture reshuffle. The delay in starting the season is also due to an application for entry by Point Fortin. After having to go through the hoops last season, I can see why there is a delay while Point Fortin satisfy the criteria. The Pro League are keen to have an 8 team league so feel that a delay is warranted to achieve this while ensuring that the entry criteria is met and that Point Fortin's players are protected but receiving guarantees that the club will last the season.
It is frustrating for everyone.

Well, yes. Last year it was because Central F.C. joined the league. I guess the league could put a cut off date for applications, and maybe if 8 teams could retain their membership they will do that. But I guess they feel it's better to delay by two weeks and offer 2 x 2 double headers each week.
Post by: Flex on August 13, 2013, 04:56:57 AM
No team should play each other more than twice.
Home and away fixtures ONLY !!!!
No one wants to go see Central FC vs T&TEC FC 4 times in a league season.
And seeing that we do not have an effective promotion/relegation system in place......
I think they should push for more teams in the league, eliminate the Super League and bring all the Clubs up to Pro Level.
Then at the end of the Zonal leagues games bring back the North, South and Tobago classics.
Just my take, but I am sure the League have all the answers, I'm just a regular guy.

Flex, I am with you on this. The pro league is utterly disappointing. An 8 team league should have its fixture all ready to go and finish on time. Then they have the pro bowl cup and the Toyota cup. You just seeing them same teams over and over. No excitement in front the empty stadiums. Bring in the super league teams in those competition. Also they should really re-elevate the FA trophy back to its rightly status as the premier knockout tournament in the land. Why can't they web stream the games like how they show the game in Guaya the other day. We in foreign want to see the games. At least some.

I think playing each other 3 times in the League is OK. Look at the SPL, they play 4 times! I get a bit bored with the cups because it's just the same old, same old. You could play a team 8 times a season!
I would love to see more clubs and my ideal number is 12 (and I'd still play three times each).
The big fear with the League is letting in new teams and then they go bankrupt halfway through the season similar to Tobago and Southend. This is a nightmare because you see players going unpaid. It could even be possible for a player to sue the Pro League because they run the league and are responsible for allowing the team to join. This is why it takes so long to join the league. They want a bond in place and proof that salaries can be paid.
I doubt that many Super League clubs can meet that criteria, so therefore automatic promotion is not feasible.
I find that even over the last two years, the Super League has improved (a lot of that is due to Tony Harford's input). Teams are more organised now and there are some decent players in there.
I do think that as the Super League continues, the clubs will get financially stronger and we'll see more teams joining the Pro League.

A press conference is a staged public relations event in which an organization or individual presents information to members of the mass media and the public.
Promotional press conferences offer several advantages, such as the ability to reach all media outlets at the same time while controlling the message. A press conference also can build excitement or anticipation about an event.
Reasons to hold a press conference include:
Introducing a new product. Announcing a charity event with a featured celebrity. Acquiring a new player on a sports team.
Public relations professionals use press conferences to make important announcements to gain coverage in newspapers, magazines, blogs and on TV news broadcasts.
Press conferences are typically used for promotional purposes, such as the launch of a new product.
You should try this sometime before the new season starts. Preferably, way before the last minute. Very informative and useful, a press conference.

They cannot plan fixtures for 8 teams. Imagine if Dexter Skeene was working with the EPL.
The Super League has 13 teams and fixture release so long.
Poor planning killing crowd support and interest.
And the bad thing is, no one seems to care.
Again, Sando, how can you release fixtures for 8 teams when one of them may not be accepted? I'm certain that there have already been several versions prepared. The first one was probably useless because Manny Ramjohn won't be available (when it was due online before the season started.) The second was then useless because Hasely Crawford is not available for two months due to carnival.
I understand peoples frustrations, but if Skeene held a flashy press conference and announced the fixtures and then kept changing them, you would all criticise. Thats why they've been working with a tentative start date.
I know it's not perfect, but I feel I have to offer some defence.
Post by: Sando on August 14, 2013, 06:25:06 AM
So the Manny and Hasley Crawford stadiums are down and the enter league is at ransom.
When will be learn.
I assume T&TEC is out.
I hope Point Fortin CC can show money for at least two years survival.
Post by: Football supporter on August 14, 2013, 08:09:38 AM
As I mentioned, they really want 8 teams in the League. In their view (and I agree) it's better to delay for a month and be able to play two x double headers than push ahead and have one double header, one game on another day and a team with a bye. That breaks your rhythm.
Regarding the stadiums, they can proceed with a double header at Ato and one at Larry. But what about St Anns and Cali? Their fans will always be "away from home" Point Fortin apparently want to play down there, but first the venue must be approved. If it's not, then they can't play at Manny, so their fans would need to travel to Ato.
Then what happens when Central, W.Conn and Point are playing at home? All three can't play at Ato.
We have a situation where DF, Police, Cali, St Anns all may have to use Larry as their home stadium. But that will also be North Easts home venue.
No one will be happy, but somehow, the League has to make that work.
With the lack of funding in football, it's difficult to help the league expand. It's a lot easier to just go back to semi pro and expand the Super League, but if that happens, our National Team will move backwards as players will come out of the game, youngsters will look elsewhere and any decent player will play in far flung leagues and won't return for national duty.

Point Fortin came late to the table. So what happened all of the other times, its every year they are late with the fixtures.
Didn't the league know they were down to 7 teams this season and had ample time to fix this. Everyone knew T&TEC would not be here.
The games should get on the way at Ato and Larry, and later on they could play games when the other stadiums are done.
Anyways, not my problem.
They act unprofessional and they will get the same treatment in return, no one will take them serious, no one will go to games and no sponsors will come onboard.

Maybe One+ should have invested in Central instead.

T&T Express Reports.
DIRECTV W Connection and Point Fortin Civic FC remained neck and neck atop the Digicel Pro League after both won on Tuesday night at Ato Boldon Stadium. But defending champions Defence Force lost for the second time and are near the bottom, while last year’s second-placed team Neal & Massy Caledonia AIA had to settle for a 1-1 draw after conceding a goal three minutes into injury time against Police FC.
Point Fortin Civic FC only managed a slim 1-0 win over bottom of the table St Ann’s Rangers in the first match of the double-header at the Couva venue. Andre Alexis got the match’s only goal when finding the far end of the net in the 16th minute, after meeting Andre Toussaint’s pass. Rangers goalkeeper Terrence Lewis made several good stops in the match.
Later in the evening, W Connection built a three-goal lead after a quarter-hour, but only just held on for a 3-2 win over San Juan Jabloteh after conceding two second half goals. The match featured the return of W Connection midfielder Joevin Jones as team captain, as well as defender Daneil Cyrus. Both were recently suspended by the club for playing minor league football in Carenage.
Colombian striker Camilo Ortega Andres Diaz put W Connection ahead in the eighth minute from inside the area and defender Mekeil Williams made it 2-0 in the tenth when blasting in a weak clearance from the San Juan club.
Striker Hashim Arcia, who fed Diaz the pass for the opening item, then made it 3-0 in the 14th minute by guiding a Jerrel Britto cross into the back of the net. Keeper Keston Malchan later produced a save in the 30th when he got glove to a Diaz effort, keeping it out, and in the 49th minute the Jabloteh goalie cleared a Kurt Frederick effort for a corner.
Rennie Britto pulled a goal back in the 69th minute when he pounced on a giveaway by Connection at the top of the area and let off a crack at goal, giving a fully stretched goalkeeper Julani Archibald no chance.
Jabloteh further reduced the deficit in the 81st through Baptiste, who notched his seventh goal of the season thus far. Britto’s (R) corner eluded the Connection defense and found Baptiste, who scored at the back post for a second consecutive match.
At Hasely Crawford Stadium, 24 year-old Tobagonian forward Trevin Caesar registered a spectacular second half hat-trick to lift the third positioned North East Stars to a 3-1 triumph over defending champions Defence Force. The former T&T Under-23 footballer scored in the 51st, 81st and 88th minutes, and was only interrupted by a 66th minute item by Defence Force’s Josimar Belgrave.

Well, you know you can't stay unbeaten for ever, but this really was a crash and burn performance from Central. It looked like they just hadn't turned up. 3-0 down at half time and it took until 87 minutes to score a consolation.

Some days you just tune off but yea if you played 3 games in a week then you have no time for tactical preparation or rest, so I guess it was always a risk
I don't agree. Plenty teams play 3 games in a week. However, you may see a drop in intensity, but good preparation should prevent disasters like this. I never expected to go the whole season unbeaten, but I never expected to get thrashed by Police!

The changes were announced over a week ago. We've been pushing our game since last Saturday. I'll check on rest of fixtures.

So why de f00ck de league does book games at the Hasely Crawford in de first place, is years now this happening, when they go learn.
It easier to get to de other stadiums anyway.
LOL Actually, no mate! Larry Gomes has been unavailable so far this season, as has Manny Ramjohn. Ato field will come off line once Larry and Manny come back, as it needs resting. We haven't trained twice this week as we can't find any surface not covered in water. We usually train at Ato training field, but if we do that, we will mash up the pitch.
What is really needed is each Regional Corporation to create, manage and maintain one pitch - a local Wembley if you like- that can be used for big games, cup finals and to bring the Pro League into the community. A deal could be done to split revenue with the clubs/league to aid in the expenses. Somebody, somewhere has to recognise that there is a need for decent fields.

Defence Force vs Police
Army looked busy early on, but Police started to realise that they can play football and grew more confident. The Army opener didn't dampen the Police spirits and the second half was all Police. Belgrave scored a fantastic free kick to equalise and you'd put your money on Police to get the winner. Even when Balthazar put the Army back in front with a nice goal, Police still continued to press. I believe they hit the upright and the bar but couldn't quite hit the net a second time. I thought maybe their performance vs Central was a one off, but in my opinion, Police played better football tonight. This is the best Police team I have seen and although they won't win the league, they'll be increasingly harder to beat.
North East vs Central
Very dull game with both teams set up to cancel each other out. Many poor individual performances from Central, but Marvin Oliver, as usual, was influential. Second half livened up a bit. Quintero was a half time substitute and the Winny and Quinny partnership again made an impact. First when Winchester hit top speed down the left for the first time and sent over a beautiful cross that was headed over the bar. Minutes later, Winchester produced a subliminal lob for Quintero to hit home...though only just as a defender swept in just too late to scoop the ball out.
North East took the offensive.They were finding acres of room down the flanks and a great cross saw Wolfe head home against his old club. Both teams went for the win, but finishing was poor.
A draw was a fair result, but both teams will need to buy sat navs to find the goal if they want to challenge for the top two spots.

KD, if you saw how D.J. Williams celebrated, you will realise that this was a massive win for them! Especially as Central are the only team to beat them this season! I don't think either keeper had a shot to save. Both teams defended well.
Central are probably one or two players short of Connection at the moment. They are the most complete team on the field and well organised from a football perspective.

Central are probably one or two players short of Connection at the moment. They are the most complete team on the field and well organised from a football perspective.
Remember they still have a squad of around 32 players! They have fielded a virtually completely different team for the F.A. Trophy, so they can rest players. I think they will be stronger in next years champions league because the foreign imports have now settled in and are performing well. They are definitely beatable, but whoever beats them will have to be on top form. I'm pretty sure that their keeper didn't have a proper shot to save from Central. That is unforgivable. But Central closed them down for pretty much the whole game. There were times when Connection broke from a Central attack and Winchester and Peltier won tackles in their own box. At times, the Connection defence was panicked and flustered. Although Williams didn't have much to do either, Connection did have a goal disallowed for a dubious offside. The real difference between the two sides at this point is that Connection can finish and Central are struggling to find the net at times. Winchester has scored 9 and Quintero 8 in all competitions, but there have been few goals from midfield, while Connection are scoring goals from distance regularly.
Central are missing 2 or 3 quality players in my view. It may already be too late to catch Connection, but I still feel Central can win second spot. There are 6 games in Jan and 4 in Feb, and this is where the top two spots will be won and lost. Army can string together 5 or 6 wins in they focus and Caledonia could put together a run.
Meanwhile, Police are capable of an upset (as we discovered) and Rangers and Jabloteh could win a few games if they hit the target. North East are still missing Glen. They defend quite well and if they can sign a decent striker, may be in with a shout. Point are in freefall and will be praying for the xmas break.

You talked about WConnection being well organized. Maybe so, but that has me perturbed. Damn, I always wanted to use that word. But does that mean that Central FC is not well organized? This is the same Central FC coached by Fenwick who has loads of experience playing in the CCL and a former World Cup player.
I have seen videos of WConnection in action. They play the game in slow motion. Does that mean that Central was playing in slower motion? At this point in the season Central should be playing at faster speeds. Your defense should have been hustling them off the ball then maybe you would have found out that they are not as well organized as you think. Practice in slow motion and you play in slow motion and that is not going to help you in the CCL tournament, Fenwick should know this already, assuming that is Sancho's ultimate goal at least for this season seeing as how you can't catch the run away train.

So FS, you are saying that WConnection is the run away train in the league and nobody else is catching them. Well, what can I say. That may very well be the case. So, if there was an award for the best coach and management staff in the league, both awards would go to Fevrier and Williams, respectively. I look at WConnection and Fevrier's performances in the CCL and historically it has not been good. Truthfully, dude, neither has Fenwick's performances been any better, in fact, his teams have feared worse compared to Fevrier's teams.

Some good observations and the use of the word perturbed!!
If you had witnessed the recent game, Central were consistently closing down. At times you could see panic in the Connection defence, which is not usual. Even the keeper was uncomfortable with Winchester chasing him down.
As for well organised, I don't mean on the field, I mean as a club. Connection have been around for something like 13 years. They have a set up that clubs should aspire to. They have decent people who have been around the club for years and who know their roles intimately. There youth programme is very good. They always look professional. My only criticisms there are that they don't do enough off the field in my opinion. But then again, I think they did at first. Maybe in 10 years time, Central won't bother either if supporters and the community don't respond?
Personally, I think Central are two or three players short of Connection at the moment. North East Stars just need a striker. Haven't seen enough of Caledonia this season to comment. Army are always strong up front, but don't have a brilliant strike ratio. They remind me of Keegan's Newcastle! Point need one or two more players, Police are the best I've seen them, but still need players. Rangers and Jabloteh will fare better next season, but they have exciting players.
Also, Guaya, Malabbar and Sando would be good additions, but again need one or two more players to challenge.
All in all, I'm happy with our second season, so far. Would be nice to win the F.A. Trophy, but our focus is on 1st or 2nd spot. It's unlikely that anyone will catch Connection, but all teams have a bad spell. I think Central are in their bad spell now. But as Rangers and Jabloteh get stronger and other teams take advantage of the transfer window, we may see Connection drop points. Our job is to achieve a 6 or 7 game unbeaten run if they do.
Finally, in the first half of the season, you want to study your squad and look for weaknesses, but stay in contention. You make your changes in early Jan and make a run for the title. My concern is that Connection may get even stronger!!

Once again, you come up against WConnection in the FA Trophy finals. What is Fenwick's game plan going into this one. The last time these two teams met, they sent you and the entire league and the Super league a message and you yourself said it that "you gotta be on your best game to beat them". They believe that no one can beat them right now and that includes Central FC, how does Fenwick prepare his team for that kind of opponent?
Good luck in the finals, Central is going to need a lot of it to beat the run away train.

Police F.C. 1 - 0 North East Stars

San Juan Jabloteh 0 - Defence Force 2
Balthazar 44'
Russell jnr 86'
Attendance: >50
Police vs North East was a close fought midfield battle. Anton Wolfe had so little service, he must have felt that his team mates thought he had already left for India! That said, if Stars can find a 12 goal striker, they will be hard to beat. As it was, Police persisted ruggedly throughout the game and Stars held their ground. The most interesting spell was 10 minutes into the second half when the sides traded yellow cards, blow for blow, resulting in 2 yellows each in a 15 minute period. The game threatened to become a boxing match, but the ref gained control without reaching for the red. Police look better this season than I've seen them before, but they will be lucky to finish higher than 4th spot. The same can be said for North East if they don't sign a replacement for Corneal Glen in the window.
Jabloteh are nice to watch and went at Army with three across the back. Ex-Central stopper Dario Holmes was like a rock through most of the game. I believe the Tobago ex national U17 defender is still under 20, but you would not have guessed it from his performance. Jabloteh just need to get composure in front of goal - and not just their youngsters. Kerry Baptiste found himself in enough space in front of goal to build another Lara stadium but took too many touches and was dispossessed. Army played their usual game this season: not very attacking, but lethal when given enough chances. They had 5 across the back at times and allowed San Juan to come on to them and defended in front of the 18 yard box. But you feel that the defence can be unlocked by a master tactician or a game changer such as Joevin Jones. Army will be there or there abouts, but I don't think they'll make a top two finish. Jabloteh are building nicely and next season they could be challengers.

W Connection targets tenth straight win
Nigel Simon (T&T Guardian)
Three-time Digicel T&T Pro League champions, DirecTV W Connection will be confident of maintaining its nine-point lead at the top of the table when it faces cellar-placed St Ann’s Rangers at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva from 7pm, in one of two matches carded for today.
The other match will see North East Stars and Caledonia AIA, second and sixth on the table respectively, but only separated by a point, squaring off at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, also from 7pm.
The “Savonetta Boys” as the David John-Williams owned W Connection are known, are in the midst of celebrating 15 years as a professional football club and having blasted the youthful Rangers line-up, 7-0 in their first round encounter will be heavily fancied for another win, if not by the same margin to add to their festive mood.
The Stuart Charles-Fevrier coached W Connection is also coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Police, in a top-of-the-table clash a week ago and will be no doubt confident of extending their unbeaten league run of nine matches, for 23 points.
Rangers, meanwhile are coming off a 1-0 loss to San Juan Jabloteh and despite being heavy underdogs will be buoyed by the fact that they hope to be the first team to hand W Connection a league loss.
Down at Mucurapo, Stars, with 14 points, will also be eager to repeat its first round 3-0 win over Caledonia AIA, (one of four teams on 13 points) as it looks to cement a hold on second spot.
While the Angus Eve-coached Stars are coming off a 0-0 away draw to Pt Fortin Civic, a worrying sign for the former national captain is a lack of productivity in front of goal since the departure of ex-T&T striker Cornell Glen for India.
In fact, in their last six matches, Stars has only managed to score three goals, with its biggest wins of the league campaign coming against defending champions Defence Force, 3-1 back on the third day of matches in round one and a 3-0 blanking of Caledonia in the opening round.
While Eve is expected to have a full squad to choose from, Jamaal Shabazz, the long serving of Caledonia which ended second last year, will be without the services of captain and defensive midfielder Stephan David due to yellow card accumulations.
Tomorrow, the Richard Hood-coached Police, which is enjoying its best league run for almost a decade will journey to deep south for a 3.30 pm meeting with Pt Fortin Civic FC.
Police slipped one spot to third with 13 points after a 2-1 loss to W Connection last week and depending of the outcome of the Caledonia and Stars match, will have a chance to reclaim second spot against the struggling Pt Fortin Civic, which after starting the season with three straight league wins, have gone winless in its next six matches, with the 0-0 draw against Stars being its best result.
The other match between Defence Force and Central FC had to be rescheduled to a later day because of work duties for the “Teteron Boys”.
In a media statement on Friday, civil military affairs officer Major Al Alexander advised that “with immediate effect, all T&T Defence Force’s involvement in national, regional and community type/level sporting activities is suspended in favour of the operational exigencies of the service and because of the particular requirements that our personnel are expected to satisfy.
“This self-imposed suspension will last as long as is deemed necessary by the Force.”
Alexander later added that the move was taken to “lend support to the Police in the fight against crime.”

IT WILL be a clash of the top and bottom-placed teams in the Digicel Pro League today when W Connection oppose St Ann’s Rangers in a Round Two Match Day Two fixture at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
Connection, the only unbeaten team remaining in the nine-team competition, have 23 points from nine games, while Rangers have only three points (and a win) after a similar amount of matches.
This game will begin at 7 pm while, simultaneously, North East Stars and Caledonia AIA, the second and third-placed teams, will square off at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
And, on Saturday, Point Fortin Civic FC will oppose Police at the Mahaica Oval from 3.30 pm.
However, the Defence Force-Central FC game, which was originally slated to take place at Mucurapo tomorrow, has been rescheduled to a later date, while San Juan Jabloteh are on a bye.

Defence Force have been barred from playing their matches so why is the Police Team allowed to play theirs. I thought Police was the authority responsible for dealing with Crime.
A decision was made by the govt, I believe, to have the army on standby, which, I presume means that all leave and sporting duties are suspended. The Police are the police. They work their shifts as normal. No extra duties have been requested. Therefore, the players can train as usual and then go on to their usual police duties.

Winchester's first was another scorcher while Morris' saved some blushes for Jabloteh with a stupendous rocket from 20 + yards.
No surprises tonight, but Rangers could have shared the points if they improve their finishing.
Connection's win wasn't as straightforward as the scoreline makes out. Jabloteh put up a good fight. Bizarrely, Connection could easily have reached double figures, but their end result let them down time and again, yet they still scored 4 against a fiery opponent. That's how good they are at the moment!

Okay let me unconfuse you. Winchester belongs to W Connection. He has also signed a new one year contract with Jaro, however Jaro has agreed to allow him to skip pre season (because of his proven showing last season) so as to represent W Connection until March 1st, 2014 when he will return to Finland to fulfill his year long contractual obligations. Hope this has cleared up your state of confusion!!!

Once the clubs agree the loan, Winchester can sign a contract with Jaro on his own terms. For example, club A may loan a player to club B with an understanding that the player remains an employee of Club A, but the Club b has use of his services for a given period of time and that Club B is responsible for all obligations including salary, insurance, medical care, flights, accommodation etc. The player can negotiate a higher salary with Club B than he is receiving from Club A and/or a signing bonus. Club A could also request a payment for the player.

Take it easy pardner. I fully understand what you was trying to say.
It would have been best stated that he remains a W Connection player on loan to Jaro, with whom he has a separate contract.
Just trying to be clear.

ttproleague.com.
Marcus Joseph registered a second hat-trick in four days and suddenly Point Fortin Civic are back in the race for the 2013/2014 Digicel Pro League championship.
Joseph, scorer of a hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-0 trouncing of Police FC at the Mahaica Oval, scored all three goals in side’s 3-0 win over cellar positioned St. Ann’s Rangers in the first match of a Round Two Match Day Three double header at the Marvin Lee Stadium on Tuesday.
The win propelled Point Fortin three spots up into third on the standings with 16 points, one point behind second positioned North East Stars (17 points), but a very long way behind leaders DIRECTV W Connection (29 points), while Joseph, now with 7 league goals is on the heels of Kerry Baptiste for the Golden Boot award.
The unstoppable Connection extended its unbeaten run to eleven league games and boasts a massive 12-point lead after overcoming San Juan Jabloteh 4-1 in the second match at the Macoya venue.
Shahdon Winchester, who is back in Connection colours on a short stint before heading back to Finland’s FF Jaro in under two months time, led the scorers’ list with a double.
Winchester made it 1-0 by the 12th minute when he smashed a half volley into the roof of goalkeeper Kevin Dodds’ net after getting a favourable bounce inside the area.
Then in the 31st minute, coach Stuart Charles Fevrier’s men were celebrating a 2-0 cushion when defender Leslie Joel Russell turned in a free ball from close range after the Jabloteh defence failed to successfully clear a Silvio Spann left side corner.
Winchester later completed his double with a cool finish in the 54th minute after powering into the area and slipping a low strike past a helpless Dodds.
Dodds and his Jabloteh teammates were lucky not to concede another in the 56th minute when Kurt Frederick’s strike crashed off the post.
Jabloteh finally pulled a goal back in the 59th minute, reducing the deficit 1-3, when Jevon Morris unleashed a powerful crack from distance beating a fully stretched goalkeeper Aquelius Sylvester.
Connection kept pressing the San Juan club, while keeping Kerry Baptiste at bay, and got close in the 74th minute when an ambitious chip by substitute Neil Benjamin Jr. from distance flew inches over.
But in the third and final minute of stoppage time Connection sealed the comfortable 4-1 victory with brothers Alvin and Joevin Jones combining.
Second half substitute Alvin, picked out on the right by another substitute Stefano Rijssel, whipped in a cross and Joevin, who missed the target by inches in the 9th minute, and was denied by Dodds in the 45th minute from a free kick, made no mistake guiding in at the back post.
In the earlier match Joseph, very familiar with the artificial surface at the Macoya venue being a former Joe Public player, clearly was on top of his game.
The Trinidad and Tobago player’s swerving left footed strike in the 6th minute which defeated goalkeeper Terrence Lewis and fitted inside the left upper corner for a 1-0 Point Fortin advantage, was a sign of what was to follow.
Joseph popped up again in the 13th minute with a telling cross which was unfortunately guided wide of the goal by Sylvester Teesdale, under challenge by Lewis.
Joseph, who struck the side netting in the 22nd minute, combined with Bevon Bass in the 29th minute but the latter’s effort crashed onto the base of the upright. And ten minutes later it was Joseph’s pass to Akeem Redhead that saw a swerving effort shave the upright.
Joseph followed up with a crack from 25 yards out and was only a couple metres wide, but the power on the effort gave Rangers reason for concern.
And after taking control of a long diagonal pass by Bass inside the area, ahead of defender Jair Edwards, Joseph poked wide to the delight of goalkeeper Lewis.
But Joseph, who gave Bass another look at goal in the 53rd minute, wasn’t as generous to Rangers in the 56th minute when he rushed the area and rifled in a low strike for a 2-0 cushion.
Joseph later completed his hat-trick and the 3-0 score in the 73rd minute from the penalty spot after referee Gyasi Mc Donald awarded the kick for a foul on Redhead by Jelani Peters.
Joseph was close again in the 90th minute, after a neat exchange with substitute Andrei Pacheco, but only struck the side netting.
Meanwhile Jabloteh’s best chances of the match came from winger Kennedy Isles, who forced a tip behind by goalkeeper Marvin Phillip in the 50th minute from a free kick and curled another effort wide twenty minutes later.
Simultaneously at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Police FC hosted Caledonia AIA and in the end both teams walking away with a point following a 1-1 draw.

...Joseph nets another hat-tricks
Nigel Simon (T&T Guardian)
Former Finland-based national midfielder Shahdon Winchester scored a goal in each half as DirecTV W Connection whipped San Juan Jabloteh 4-1 to extend its lead at the top of the Digicel T&T Pro League table at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya, on Tuesday.
Leslie Russell and Joevin Jones, added the other goals for the three-time Pro League champion to push its points tally to 29 from 11 matches, 12 clear of idle North East Stars while Pt Fortin Civic trounced St Ann’s Rangers in the opener at Macoya, thanks to a hat-trick from national striker Marcus Joseph, his second in succession.
Joseph, scorer of a hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-0 trouncing of Police FC at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fotin, scored his goals in the sixth, 56th and 73rd minute, the last of which from the penalty-spot to move his club three spots up the nine-team table. Pt Fortin moves to third place with 16 points, two more than Caledonia AIA and Police, after their 1-1 draw at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
With Stars not in action on the night, W Connection had a golden chance to put some more distance between itself and the chasing pack and led by Winchester, who opened the scoring as early as the 12th minute the “Savonetta Boys” extended their unbeaten start to the league campaign, to 12 matches.
Winchester, who is back in W Connection colours on a short stint before heading back to Finland’s FF Jaro in under two months time, volleyed in his team first goal past goalkeeper Kevin Dodds after getting a favourable bounce inside the area.
Despite their low position on the table, Jabloteh did well to keep W Connection from adding to its tally until the 31st minute when former Jabloteh utility player Leslie Joel Russell netted from close range after his former employers failed to clear a Silvio Spann left-sided corner.
Nine minutes after the restart the match was all but over as a Winchester got his second and W Connection’s third after slipping a shot past Dodds to cap off a powerful run.
Two minutes later Dodds’ goal was under threat again from in-form Kurt Frederick, but luckily for Jabloteh his effort canoned off the crossbar, and three minutes later Jabloteh finally had something to cheer about when defender, Jevon Morris pulled a goal-back with a long range effort past goalkeeper Aquelius Sylvester.
In the 74th minute, substitute Neil Benjamin Jr also had an effort on the Jabloteh goal from some distance that just went wide, before Alvin Jones set up his brother, national midfielder Joevin Jones for W Connection’s fourth item, three minutes into injury time.
But while W Connection stormed to yet another win, it was Pt Fortin Civic’s Joseph that was the talk of the afternoon.
Joseph, playing at the home of his former club Joe Public’s artificial surface, fired his team ahead in the sixth minute with a trademark left-footed blast past goalkeeper Terrence Lewis.
Sylvester Teesdale, Bevon Bass, Akeem Redhead as well as Joseph, all came close to adding to their team’s lead before the interval, but somehow, the score managed to remain 1-0.
Five minutes into the second-half, St Ann’s Rangers’ Kennedy Isles almost pulled his team level against the run of play, but his effort was tipped over by goalkeeper Marvin Phillip.
Pt Fortin then regained control of the contest and in the 56th minute, Joseph finally added to his team’s lead and in the 73rd minute, he sealed all three points by completing his hat-trick from the penalty-spot after Jabloteh’s Jelani Peters was whistled for a foul on Redhead by referee Gyasi Mc Donald.
Down at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Caledonia missed out on all three points after Jameel Perry cancelled out Densil Theobald’s early item.

Keron Cummings' infamous love for the minor leagues has plagued his professional career — one only spanning between the years 2010 and 2013, and featured very little of the midfielder.
Cummings never lacked the raw talent or the ability to be marvelous on the field. However it was his clear lack of professional discipline, and preferred love of the minor leagues (short competitions, often played within communities, doesn't require showing up for training, and have been known to lure top players with quick cash appearance fees) that saw Cummings fail to settle within the Pro League.
Cummings, who had spells at W Connection, Central FC and St. Ann’s Rangers, undoubtedly starved his potential.
“The minor league is something I used to go about for fun,” said the 25 year-old. “And when you’re childish you don’t really see (the
negatives) of it.”
Cummings now has a chance to redeem himself after being snapped up by North East Stars head coach Angus Eve during the December/January transfer window, offering the Diego Martin footballer a fresh opportunity on the professional scene.
“When he (Cummings) first came here (North East Stars) I told him let’s go forward,” said Eve, throwing over his shoulders, Cummings’ dark cloud of indiscipline.
The North East Stars coach pointed out that, “It’s the same information they told me about Cornell Glen when I brought him here (at the beginning of last season). It’s the same information I had about Anthony Wolfe (at the beginning of this season).
“I like to take chances on players. Coaching is more about player management. The kid (Cummings) has the ability to play. I think he is national team quality. My job here is to keep him.
“He is left footed. He can do free kicks. He is skillful and has a lot of vision. (Cummings) and (T&T midfielder) Kevin Molino are players in the same mold,” said the former Trinidad and Tobago midfielder.
Cummings has already made three league starts (1-0 vs St. Ann’s Rangers, 0-0 vs Point Fortin Civic and 2-0 vs Caledonia AIA) for the Sangre Grande club, which sits second on the standings with 17 points, 12 points behind leaders W Connection (29 points).
North East Stars also boasts a three-match unbeaten run in the league, but far less than the amount enjoyed by Connection, who they face in a top of the table clash on Friday 24 January from 8 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Cummings, who is expected to step out against his former club on Friday, declared, “I really joined North East Stars to establish myself in football.
“The past is the past,” continued the midfielder and father of two—four year-old Jevon and one year-old Keaam Cummings.
“Angus gave me a fair chance. Other teams kept (judging) me on the stigma attached to me. But Angus gave me a chance to redeem myself and what I’m really about.
“It’s about stamping my authority in the league this year and looking towards going abroad to play next season.
“I’d be proving myself this time and get back my name on the map.
“I wasn’t really stable in the football before, and now I have the chance to be stable in it. Angus has given me the opportunity and it’s if I want it … or don’t want it.”

Not these days na. Way too wasteful in the box and final third. That's what Plaza and Guerra were brought in for. Plaza looked decent after not playing for a while so we should see some goals when he is match sharp. While Guerra has been underwhelming in the last 2 games. He needs to contain his emotions and just play.

North East and Police couldn't win at Mahaica either in last few weeks.
Point scored 8 goals last week, but Central kept a clean sheet.
Of course, we'd like to win every game, but you'd always be happy with a draw and a clean sheet down there. It's the only real "away" fixture.
Without doubt, Central need to start winning regularly to secure second spot.

Point Fortin Civic jumped two spots up the ladder and now occupies second position on the 2013/2014 Digicel Pro League standings after playing to a goalless draw against Central FC on Saturday.
Central visited the Mahaica Oval equipped with four debuting starters and had definitely hoped for maximum three points against a side that convincingly won their last two outings.
But the Terry Fenwick coached—Central featuring new signings Trinidad and Tobago international striker Willis Plaza, ex-World Youth Cup captain Leston Paul, former Defence Force utility player Samuel Delice and ex-national senior team defender Yohance Marshall alongside recent acquisition and “Soca Warriors” playmaker, Ataullah Guerra only managed a point.
Point Fortin meanwhile, coming off Tuesday’s 3-0 win over bottom of the table St. Ann’s Rangers at the Marvin Lee Stadium, and last weekend’s 5-0 win over Police FC at the Mahaica Oval, failed to pick up a third win in a row.
Point Fortin 22 year-old attacker Marcus Joseph, scorer of back to back hat-tricks in his team’s last two outings, dragged a second half penalty wide.
Central too would bite themselves late in the match when substitute Rundell Winchester struck the crossbar.
Central remained in sixth positioned with 14 points, just as fifth positioned Caledonia AIA.
Meanwhile Point Fortin joined third positioned North East Stars and fourth positioned Police with 17 points, all 15 points away from runaway leaders DIRECTV W Connection (32 points).

From my view, I saw Guerra make a strong challenge to which the ref awarded a throw in. Then Trent Noel physically accosted the Ref and was immediately shown the red card. Then the Police players crowded the ref and eventually Guerra was shown a red card too.
Question: How can a red card be shown to Guerra when a throw in was awarded? If the ref missed the incident, how can he award a red card? The 4th official didn't contribute to the decision and neither assistant was consulted either.
Now I'm not saying there was no foul (I thought it was a good tackle, but I was up in the stands) but once the referee made a decision how can he then give a red card for a challenge that he didn't judge to be a foul?
Generally, the ref was poor throughout and allowed many bad challenges to go unchecked.

Under new FIFA rules a referee can send off a player whenever, even substitutes, but I have to say there doesn't seem much reason if he has given a throw-in, unless something happened between the awarding of a throw-in and his sending off

Hey FS, my only explanation is that Guerra may have said something to him. It would be interesting to see his report though. My personal view is that the officiating leaves a lot to be desired, these officials are very thin skinned & sometimes seem to be out of depth with the exception of Brizan (who also has his problems).

Madness. Guerra's hands were at his sides. If thats an elbow then I elbow people everyday walking passed them. The officiating has been really poor. Its not even bias to one side over another. Its just bad calls where the ref seems more emotional than the players

While there may be a burning rivalry between coaches Terry Fenwick and his former assistant Angus Eve, now at separate clubs of course, the real contest happens on the pitch.
Fenwick’s star-studded Central, yet to click, and Eve’s Sangre Grande-based Stars will meet on the battle field—Hasely Crawford Stadium—from 8 pm on Friday, and both teams are in desperate need of points, paving way for what can turn out a fierce clash.
Two hours earlier (6 pm), fifth positioned Caledonia AIA (17 points) are against cellar positioned St. Ann’s Rangers to kick off the Digicel Pro League Round Two Match Day Six double header. And on Saturday second positioned Point Fortin Civic (20 points), 12 points behind inactive leaders DIRECTV W Connection (32 points), will host eight-positioned San Juan Jabloteh (10 points) from 3.30 pm at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin.
Fenwick and Eve preferred to play down the magnitude of the rivalry, though.
“We are simply attacking this game as any other game,” said Fenwick, a three-time Pro League winning coach at former club Jabloteh.
Meanwhile Angus Eve, who served Fenwick as a player, then assistant coach during their time at Jabloteh, said, “I think all the Pro League games are intense. The intensity has grown this season and when you look at the point difference of most teams on the standings, it shows the level of competitiveness.”
North East Stars, fourth with 17 points, and Central, two spots lower with 15 points, have met twice already this season.
Central had defeated the Stars 2-1 last September in the quarterfinal round of the First Citizens Cup, before moving on to win the competition. But when both sides met again in Round One of the league in November, it ended 1-1.
This time around there are new faces on both sides.
North East Stars mid-season transfer window signings includes former T&T U-23 forward Trevin Caesar, talented midfielder Keron Cummings, Trinidad and Tobago 2007 U-17 World Cup midfielder Chike Sullivan and a relatively unknown forward Lemuel Lyons.
While Central were a bit more bold in their signings which includes T&T internationals Ataullah Guerra and Willis Plaza, ex-T&T international Yohance Marshall, Defence Force utility player Samuel Delice and former T&T Youth World Cup players Sean de Silva and Leston Paul.
“We have a very good squad of players,” said Fenwick. “And (Friday’s match) is just an opportunity for us to get on the right track.
“We have depth in the squad and I now have room to change players who aren’t doing what they are supposed to do, by putting other personalities in there.”
Central have gone undefeated in their last five matches, but have not recorded more than a draw in the last four matches.
“We are disappointed in the draws because we have dominated those games,” added the Central coach. “We’ve got to turn the domination into results.”
Central will be without the services of Guerra – one of three midfielders suspended on the weekend. Caledonia’s Densill Theobald and Point Fortin Civic’s Andrei Pacheco are the others.
Guerra and Theobald, both picked up red cards in their respective matches last Friday and are expected to face a disciplinary committee, while Pacheco is suspended on yellow cards accumulation.
North East Stars meanwhile, will be without the services in injury-listed defensive midfiedler Kern Navarro with a hamstring problem, while left-back Kevon Villaroel is still sidelined with a back injury.
“Central have made a lot of signings,” continued Eve, as he looks forward to Friday’s clash. “We also made some signings and I think it should be a good encounter.
“Since the turn of the year we have won two games, lost won, and drew one. It’s not a bad record. We had lapses in our last game, which we lost 2-0 against Connection, but hopefully we will be switched on completely (against Central).”
Fenwick believes that North East Stars “would be quite defensive and looking for the long balls to their centre forward Caesar”.
“I think (Caesar) is the most dangerous forward in the league,” Eve added. “The problem is that we have to re-program him now, because of the way he played at (his former club) Caledonia. If (Caesar) plays higher up the pitch he is effective but he tends to drop in midfield and stay too long. He needs to understand where his strengths are.”

T&T Newsday
THERE WILL be a battle for third place in the Digicel Pro League this weekend when action continues in Round Two Match Day Six.
Leaders W Connection (32 points) and third-place Police (18 points) are both inactive this weekend.
Police were carded to oppose Defence Force from 8 pm today (FRIDAY) at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo, but Defence Force are yet to indicate if, and when, they will return to the 2013-2014 season.
As a result, the Central FC-North East Stars game, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow from 5 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, will now take place at the Mucurapo venue today at 8 pm. Central are in sixth place with 15 points, while North East are fifth with 17 points.
Point Fortin Civic FC are in second place with 20 points and, judging from their recent form of late, seem destined to gain another three points at the expense of San Juan Jabloteh tomorrow when both teams square off at the Mahaica Oval, Point Fortin from 3.30 pm.
The other game on this weekend’s agenda will feature fourth-placed Caledonia AIA (17 points) against cellar-placed St Ann’s Rangers (three points) at the Hasely Crawford Stadium today from 6 pm.

I predict they will not win the league or even place second. I hope I am wrong, Terry Fenwick is not technically a good coach. But next season if they have the same team they would be a force. So too is Jabloteh and a young Rangers.
I saw Angus Eve got kicked out, I was leaving already so I did not see what exactly happended, I think he was protesting the penalty?
Peltier I think scored for Central, but the ball looked like it went in, but the ref says no, the goalie got a touch on it to, but with no goal-line technology I doubt they could protest that.
Marcano and Central was disappointed to watch especially in the first game, that final 3rd they just not connecting.
Caesar was good to watch.
Winchester came on as a sub and was the reason they got a penalty.
I think North East Stars got some bad calls?
Post by: Tiresais on February 08, 2014, 03:21:19 AM
I went to the game last night, Central didn't look to bad, but from having a potent midfield, probably one of the best in the country you would expect more than just draws, even though they fail to convert many chances. They would have lost, they lucky they got a penalty.

They would have lost, they lucky they got a penalty. I agree, however, it's a little bit of justice after we dominated Jabloteh and they won a 90th min penalty to equalise! And then Point were awarded a dubious penalty against us
I predict they will not win the league or even place second. I hope I am wrong, Terry Fenwick is not technically a good coach. But next season if they have the same team they would be a force. So too is Jabloteh and a young Rangers. I think Connection won the League in January! Second spot is what we're after!
I saw Angus Eve got kicked out, I was leaving already so I did not see what exactly happended, I think he was protesting the penalty? And again after the final whistle!
Peltier I think scored for Central, but the ball looked like it went in, but the ref says no, the goalie got a touch on it to, but with no goal-line technology I doubt they could protest that. I think it crossed the line, but Cleon John made a superb "save"
Marcano and Central was disappointed to watch especially in the first game, that final 3rd they just not connecting. Marcano had huge amounts of possession, but his deliveries were consistently poor.
Caesar was good to watch.
Winchester came on as a sub and was the reason they got a penalty.

I'm not convinced about Lundy yet. Rangers give loads of room in front of the back four and Lundy scored two goals from outside of the box. The first was a poorly hit shot that bounced through. Fredericks goal was freaky. Lundy's second goal was better. They seem to be playing him in the number 10 role (which is probably why he wears number 10 lol) but I didn't see anything outstanding from him last night.

Thanks for all the info. Surprised you didn't rest players though - is that the norm, are they fit enough to play games close enough together, or was that a tactical decision to pursue these 3 points with a full squad and less emphasis on the W Connection game?

Terry doesn't rest players! Even when we played St Mary's in the F.A. Trophy on weds, he played his full strength team and then played them again on Saturday!

Delice is a more left sided forward player but Fenwick is trying to mould him into that left back position especially as its a position that Central lack depth in. Jack can play anywhere across the back line. He was played at RWB and RB recently because John and Marshall have developed a good understanding in the middle.

Haha Central draw again. What de arse is this?
This was probably the best Pro League game this season. If you saw how Connection celebrated getting a draw against Central, you will see how relieved they were after being second best for most of the game. Very dubious penalty brought Connection back into the game, but their equaliser was decent.
Superb display by Central, with Darren Mitchell outstanding today.
Both teams hit the woodwork and both keepers earned their salt. Very encouraging for Central F.C. Should now springboard them to turn draws into wins.

Oh man 2 goals in the dying minutes? That's got to sting. Sad to hear it, but then again before the match I'm sure you would have taken a draw so not bad in the grand scheme!
Wrong on both counts, Tiresais! Before the match only a win would satisfy us. We played superbly. Connection were never allowed to settle and were reduced to long shots. Of course we were vexed by the crazy penalty and it appeared that the Ref would continue playing until Connection equalised (there was no board indicating added time). But I'm pleased after this game because we finally started to click and look like a very dangerous team. Until the penalty we didn't look in danger of losing. Even when Connection twice hit the woodwork, it just felt like we were going to get 3 points. The only worrying factor was Guerra being injured and substituted in the first half.
Unbeaten now in 7 games, even Connection supporters could see that we were the better team and were calling for players to be replaced!

This was a game of 2 halves. Central won the 1st half 1-0 & Connection the second half 2-1. Central was contented to defend their 1-0 advantage but Connection kept coming at them with everything. Connection dominated the second half the only difference is that Central scored their 2nd goal against the run of play & Connection squandered 4 clear cut chances.
This was probably the best Pro League game this season
Well from your account it didn't seem that Connection played any part.
Of course we were vexed by the crazy penalty and it appeared that the Ref would continue playing until Connection equalised (there was no board indicating added time).
Can I say the same about your game against North East last weekend?
........even Connection supporters could see that we were the better team and were calling for players to be replaced!
Which team being 2 -0 down and seeing their players squandering chance after chance would not be calling for blood. I heard a Connection supporter asking for Arcia to be subbed after he missed his 2nd clear cut chance.
If you saw how Connection celebrated getting a draw against Central, you will see how relieved they were after being second best for most of the game.
Again which team being 2 -0 down facing defeat in the 87th minute and zero points would not celebrate now gaining one point.
Again I insist that this was a game of 2 halves. I know football is a game of emotion but let's be fair in our reporting, I can understand how Central felt seeing that from all indications they were going to prevail against Connection last night. I saw Terry's celebration, but one thing I have learned in football or in any sport for that matter, "it ain't over till it's over". Hopefully Central will prevail in Round 3.
W Connection vs Central head to head this season
FCB semi final Central prevailed on penalty kicks after full time 0-0 & went on to win the FCB Cup
1st round league game Connection prevailed 1 -0
FA Cup final after Connection led 1-0, Central went ahead 2-1, Connection equalised and eventually won on penalty kicks

Fenwick wants the best players to win instead of trying to improve the ones he has and improve his coaching to make it work.
On paper who have the more expensive team, Connection or Central and include the coaches salary.
I saw Romain carring out a training session once and I had to laugh my ass off.
Post by: Football supporter on February 12, 2014, 12:23:33 PM
Soccerama, I agree Connection had the better of the second half. But a lot of that was due to tactics. You would have noted that Central switched to more of a 4-5-1 formation. Meanwhile, Connection, of course were pushing for the equaliser allowing Central to attack on the break, which is how we scored the second and also Plaza and Winchester coming close. We gave Connection space on the wings, because they seem to be stronger through the middle.
Regarding the penalty, I believe that was the fourth penalty we have conceded in 6 games. The Jabloteh equaliser was a 50/50 call, the Point Fortin miss was a joke decision, as was the Connection penalty. The North East Stars penalty appeared to be just and the people around me (including a very senior coach) agreed, but, of course, it may depend on your line of sight.
The great thing is that these Couva derbies should start attracting more spectators and more press interest.

Dimitrie Apai scored in stoppage time to level Digicel Pro League leaders DIRECT W Connection to a 2-2 come-from-behind draw against bitter rivals Central FC on Tuesday night at the Ato Boldon Stadium.
The 19-year-old Suriname forward, who joined Connection during the mid-season transfer window, dived in at the back of the defence to bury Shahdon Winchester's cross past goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams, with a powerful equalizing header, in the third minute of five minutes stoppage time played by referee Michael London.
Earlier, London, who made a number of questionable calls, had spectators most confused in the 86th minute and Central head coach Terry Fenwick boiling at the touchline, when he awarded Connection a penalty.
London blew and pointed to the spot confidently when Connection midfielder Joevin Jones went to ground after colliding with Central substitute Leston Paul, who was in the process of heading clear a dangerous ball played back across the area by teammate Jamal Jack.
Jones then stepped to the spot, and reduced the deficit 1-2 when his powerfully struck kick proved slightly better than Central goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams, who read the penalty kick well and creditably had some glove to the ball.
Connection, now 33 points at the top and 10 points clear of second positioned Point Fortin Civic (23 points), in the end, overcoming a two-goal deficit and some back luck to finish a very entertaining contest with a point.
The feature match of Round Two Match Day Seven, however, lived up to derby expectations.
Seconds into the contest Connection goalie Julani Archibald had to brilliantly measure Willis Plaza effort, rooting it out at the low corner, following errant clearance by Daneil Cyrus which fell to the Central forward at the top of the area.
And in the 22nd minute Central midfielder Darren Mitchell, who was involved in the opening minute opportunity, struck the far upright after he was played inside by Plaza.
Fenwick was forced to make a premature change in the 31st minute, replacing an injured Ataullah Guerra (shoulder) with Rundell Winchester and got immediate success.
Seconds onto the pitch, R. Winchester raced down the right and slipped a pass inside the six yard area to find onrushing Plaza, who poked a strike between the legs of Archibald for a 1-0 lead.
Joevin Jones, who landed the tackle that eventually forced Guerra out of the match, tried pulling his team level from distance in the 41st minute but Williams produced a diving save to keep the effort out.
On the other end Archibald also had to make a stop just before the halftime whistle, charging down a Samuel Delice strike after Mitchell slipped a pass wide instead of the going for goal himself.
Two minutes inside the second period Archibald produced another stop, when he kept out a R. Winchester strike and the rebound was spilled wide by the Tobagonian, all after Plaza had disposed Cyrus of the ball.
Connection, who had winger Neil Benjamin Jr. wrongfully adjudged offside in the 12th minute by second assistant Ezra Bartholomew after Central midfielder and captain Marvin Oliver last touch backwards, failed to score two great chances in a space five minutes.
Striker Hashim Arcia was the culprit on both occasions, first guiding a brilliant low Alvin Jones' cross onto the crossbar in the 56th minute with only goalkeeper Williams to beat, and from another A. Jones cross in the 60th minute the lanky forward placed his effort wide.
Arcia's efforts were separated by Plaza's on target effort in the 58th minute, which Archibald saved, and a wide attempt moments later.
But from a play involving R. Winchester, Plaza and Leston Paul, who rounded Archibald, Jason Marcano had the simple task of slapping the ball into an open net for a 2-0 Central cushion by the 74th minute.
However Central's decision to sit back defensively, and rely on the counterattacks, failed to secure maximum points. And Connection defender Mekeil Williams heading onto the crossbar after goalkeeper Williams had block out his initial effort, was a warning of what was to follow.
In the end, Central, now positioned sixth on the standings with 17 points, recording it's sixth consecutive draw and their chances of a top-two finish is drifting further and further away.

------------------------------------------------------
Noel Williams (9’)
Just wondering if it is usual for a team to play 3 or 4 consecutive home games.
Point had this luxury
25/01/14 vs Central FC (drew 0-0)
01/02/14 vs W Connection (won 2-1)
08/02/14 vs San Juan Jabloteh (won 2-0)
15/02/14 vs Caledonia AIA (won 2-1)
It's a Pro League policy to bring football into the community. Sadly, in my opinion, it has failed, as after the first month or two, there only seems to be the same number of supporters as at the stadiums. However, it costs a lot of money to play down there once you include transport and overnight accommodation (it can take up to 3 hours to reach there from PoS).
Point are the only team to have true home advantage, and I think this reflects in their results. Compare home fixtures to "away" fixtures.

Just so you know Civic didn't make the fixtures, so if that gives us an edge...we'll take it. :beermug:
Absolutely! I'd take that any day!!

Marcus Joseph is on fire. To the people who following football at home, is he playing that good? You think Hart have him for the near future.
For real, 10 goals since 2014 started, 2 hat-tricks and 2 doubles. And 3 hat-tricks all together this season....

Point were on fire from day one, and their big supporter presence certainly helped initially (which, of course, is the reason why we support our teams - we can help our team)
But when Central ended their run of three straight wins away from home, the supporters dropped off and their form dipped losing the next 4 Pro League games.
Then came the home matches and their formed returned, which also helped them beat Rangers away from home.
They have been unbeaten at home in their last 6 matches. (Some of that must be due to new signings as well)
But I will always argue that the home venue has made a difference.

Always nice to see CIVIC generating so much conversation ( and we're not even in first place)... so heartwarming. Civic will always be a team to reckon with in TNT football.

When I look at these stats, it tells me that Point has certainly grasp the concept of "We must protect this house". They are 3 games over 500 in the league at home and a 500 club in all competitions at home and away, an area where they certainly needed to improve on. Their away record is not "road warrior" type stats but they are a 500 club on the road which is not the worst either, another area where they can improve on. If you look at WConnection's home and away record, you would get a good probability of why they are leading the league. They are the "road warriors" of the league and they are protecting their house. So, any team going to play Point at home better bring their "A" game or else. On the other hand, if you are in need of 1 point to remain in second place all you have to do is play Central FC. They like building picket fences.

Plaza is becoming a real handful. You literally start to leave your seat when he collects the ball outside the box. His pace has returned and he's causing all sorts of problems for defenders, which leaves more room for our attacking mids. I think he'll score at least 10 by the end of the season.

T&T Guardian
Although admitting his team isn’t 100 percent prepared, Defence Force head coach Ross Russell is confident that the returning Army won’t be a pushover. “We are always prepared to fight,” said the two-time Digicel Pro League winning coach. “…we are the Defence Force! But I’m not sure of our sharpness.”
Defence Force will be coming off a month-plus-long stand-down when they meet Central FC in a rescheduled round two fixture today at the Ato Boldon Stadium from 6 pm.
“We would (only) know (our sharpness) as the game goes along,” added Russell. “We haven’t played in about a month and a half, while the other teams have been playing week in, week out.
“We are probably 75 per cent ready. We had no practice matches… only the scrimmages in training over the last few days. The game (against Central) will be tactically played in different parts.”
The defending league champion, Defence Force, was on a four-match undefeated run before a self-imposed suspension of all sporting activities at national, regional and community levels was issued by the T&T Defence Force (TTDF) on January 10.
The suspension came following Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s call to use every possible resource in the fight against the spike in violent crime, which at the time, led to 22 murders just 10 days into 2014.
The suspension was lifted last week. Now Russell and assistant coach Marvin Gordon, and such players as Devorn Jorsling, Kevon Carter, Curtis Gonzales, Richard Roy, Jerwyn Balthazar and Corey Rivers can resume their efforts in defence of the league title. However they stand without first choice goalkeeper, Kevin Graham, who is on a promotional course towards the rank of corporal.
The soldiers are positioned seventh on the nine-team standings with 13 points, 20 points away from leaders W Connection (33 points), but have seven games in hand.
Central, meanwhile, sits sixth on the standings with 20 points, the same number held by fifth-positioned Caledonia AIA.
Central’s Willis Plaza, scorer of three goals in the last two matches, and former Defence Force utility player Samuel Delice, the opening scorer against Jabloteh on Friday, should be key components in Terry Fenwick’s side, which will not feature the ineligible striker Rundell Winchester who is suspended on an accumulation of bookings.
The Sharks defeated the soldiers 3-1 in round one and are undefeated in their last eight league matches, but only snapped a six-match winless streak last Friday with a comprehensive 4-1 win over San Juan Jabloteh.
“Undefeated don’t mean anything to me,” Russell responded in relation to Central’s run of form. “We are coming to try and win. We are starting back in terms of trying to defend our title and they will have to run their hearts out to try and beat us.”
Russell, a former T&T and Defence Force goalkeeper, will also lead the soldiers to this season’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship in March, which also serves as the regional qualifying competition to the Concacaf Champions League.
Defence Force will contest Group 3 of the Club Championship hosted in Jamaica from March 21-25, against Guyana’s Alpha United, Suriname’s Sporting Vereniging Notch, and home-team Habour View FC.
At the same time last season’s Pro League runners-up, Caledonia, will contest Group Two against Sportive de Mirebalais of host country Haiti, Inter Moengotapoe of Suriname and Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC.
While Group One will be contested in Puerto Rico, with Centro Dominguito of the Netherlands Antilles, Unite Saint Rosienne of Curacao, Cayman Islands outfit Bodden Town and home team Bayamon FC making up that group.
The winner of each group will advance to the semi-final round.
“We will definitely be ready for the CFU,” said Gordon last week. “We want to go and top our group and advance to the next stage of qualifying for the Concacaf Champions League.”
“We are very confident in our players at the moment, for the tasks ahead. Our players love playing football and being away for the last month, they now have the hunger and thirst to get back to it.”

Ato Boldon
Caledonia took the first half and should have been 2-0 up at half time. Second half was more even. Connection had a couple of chances and came closest to scoring.
Connection were probably satisfied with the result but not the performance. None of their usual lightning counter attacks and lots of long balls.

Yea but it's the club and fans that suffer. We really need to change the administration and leadership at the Pro League - it's totally unprofessional and it's a slap in the face to all the hard work the clubs put in.

But the league IS the clubs. Unless enough owners complain, nothing will be changed! It appears that several owners are not focused on attracting spectators? You can tell from how clubs are marketed that they are not trying to interface with fans.
Just so you know, Saturdays game between Police vs North East Stars is cancelled because Police have carnival duties to perform. Army will play North East on Tuesday at Marvin Lee.

DIRECTV W Connection dropped two points at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva tonight but there was little else worth reporting as the runaway leaders played Caledonia AIA to an uninspiring goalless draw in Pro League action.
Picture two boxers repeatedly clinching and landing less than 40 percent of their punches and you would probably get the picture.
Caledonia had two good scoring opportunities in the first half but was denied by Connection goalkeeper Julani Archibald and defender Daneil Cyrus. Connection had two good efforts on target in the second half but could not get past Caledonia goalkeeper Shemel Louison. And that pretty much summed it up.
The point gained by Connection extended its lead over second place Point Fortin Civic to eight points while Caledonia moved ahead of Police FC in fifth spot by goal difference.
Perhaps Caledonia coach Jamaal Shabazz would regret not accomplishing more tonight.
Remarkably, Connection could not get out its own half of the field for the first 30 minutes. The “Eastern Stallions” should have gone ahead after 22 minutes but for a brilliant reflex save from Archibald to deny a Noel Williams header off a Tyrone Charles cross.
The less said about Mekeil Williams’ marking of his namesake, Noel, the better.
Keyon Edwards got a good look at the Connection goal in the 29th minute but scoffed his shot and Cyrus responded quickly with a vital block to keep out Akim Armstrong’s cracking half volley.
Joevin Jones, who moved from midfield to left back in the second half in the absence of the injured Kurt Frederick, had two half chances but could not put either on target. And Connection’s best opportunity came for the unlikely figure of its midfield hardman and captain, Gerrard Williams.
Gerrard’s swivelled at the edge of the area to send a low missile flying towards the left hand upright in the 84th minute. Somehow, Louison stuck his hand out to turn the shot around the post.
From the resulting corner kick, Connection winger Stefano Rijssel, who returned from an unsuccessful trial with MLS team Seattle Sounders, almost embarrassed Louison with an angled header that the latter juggled against the bar before finally holding on.
The draw was inevitable after that.
Pro League action continues in Couva tomorrow as third place Central FC tackles St Ann’s Rangers from 6 pm while defending champion Defence Force faces San Juan Jabloteh from 8 pm in the second game of a double header.

Army had man sent off in 2nd half.
Probably the poorest Jabloteh performance I've seen all season. Kept losing shape and their defence, which is usually pretty good, was nowhere for the first two goals. 3rd goal was an unfortunate unpressured own goal when the defender headed a backpass over the keepers head.

Pro League club St Ann’s Rangers used the Carnival break to do some community work, but are back in action tomorrow against leaders W Connection at Ato Boldon Stadium.
Pro League action resumes today with a Marvin Lee Stadium double-header featuring Police and inform-Point Fortin Civic at 6 p.m., while Caledonia AIA face North East Stars two hours later. There is also a match on Sunday between Central FC and Defence Force at Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima.
Saturday mornings are typically a good opportunity to roll out of bed late, but on Carnival Saturday the player of St Ann’s Rangers were up early. Players, coaches and managers of the St. Ann’s club all volunteered their services at the Trinity College ground in Moka, Maraval, which also serves as their youth teams’ home venue. As part of the TT Pro League’s HOPE (Helping Others is a Priority Everyday) project, Rangers decided to give Trinity’s pavilion and ground a much-needed facelift.
The field was cut, and the pavilion was cleaned and painted in Trinity’s brilliant green and yellow. Rangers’ team manager Jason Spence, who supervised and also joined in the exercise, said the club has been involved with the school for some time and took the opportunity to beautify their pavilion in keeping with the goals of the HOPE project.
St Kitts international Kennedy Isles, who is in his first Pro League season, said, “I thought it would be hard but now I feel we are having fun and growing as a team. It’s good to build the relationship with the school as well.”
The 23-year-old added that playing in Trinidad has been a great experience for him and that he has matured as a footballer.
Ghanaian forward Michael Yaw Darko, another Rangers player , said that while the club is having a very tough season, they were happy to work as a team to contribute to the school.

Big win for NE Stars there, anyone at the game?
Was typical North East- solid defence and Caesar on the break. They look exactly the same as last year with Caesar now playing the Cornell Glen role just as effectively as he did. Several times Caesar was in a 3 v 1 break and still got away a shot.
To be fair, I felt Caledonia were well on top in the first half after conceding the early goal against the run of play. Lots of handbags in the second half. Cale strongly believed North Easts second goal was suspect. It looked like they thought the keeper was fouled. After Cale equalised, Caesar was floored in a 1 vs 1 and it all erupted again!
Cale look worryingly short of CONCACAF standards while Caesar looks positively lethal. Same as last year for North East: stop their striker and you have a chance.
Point Fortin seemed to have trouble playing on a smaller pitch. Despite the goals, Police were on top throughout first half. But typically of Police, they were fairly impotent in the last third. The O.G. really knocked the wind out of them and the 2nd half was fairly tame. Point were creating most of the chances and scored their third in the 5th minute of added time. (there were two lengthy injury breaks while the Point keeper had treatment.)

Sounds like v interesting games. Caesar's performances from what I've heard seem to be pretty damn good - any chance he could push into the NT?
He's already in the senior team pool. Made his debut against Jamaica last November.

Thought he was being forced out by Winchester, Jorsling and Plaza lately? I guess I should rephrase - is he better than our alternatives?

Other than Kenwyne, the forward positions are completely up for grabs. No one else has established themselves.

North East Stars 3 - 0 Police F.C.
Despite the scoreline, a very dull game. North East got the goals that mattered (third was an own goal). Police were never in the game and the whole team would never have scored tonite, even if they were on Murray St.
Caledonia 0 - 2 Defence Force.
Caledonia appeared to have modeled their game on Police. To be fair, they did have a few lame attempts. I think they won one corner. Army were not exactly impressive, but like North East, they hit the net when it mattered. I'm truly frightened for these two teams in the CFU. Perhaps Army are still not fully focused, but with another game on Thursday vs Point Fortin, they need to find another gear.

Larry Gomes Stadium
Not sure what's happening to my Rangers team. Of course, they're still not winning, but the way they've been playing, I expected them to maybe get a draw from Police & Jabloteh.
But today there was none of their usual verve and passion. They looked estranged from each other, and some guys were clearly playing out of position.
If I had been coach, I would have looked as this fixture as an opportunity to get the pride back into the team. To give them a winning (or at least a drawing) feeling. So playing my striker in midfield would not have entered my mind!
Police were as solid as usual, but were given tons of space in midfield so they could get some target practice. This could be an important result for the league, as maybe it's the Police who have gained new confidence and could upset a few title contenders if they recover their early form.
They were certainly confident today and Rangers were lucky to peg the score at 4. Rangers were also guilty of some horrendous misses.
When your strikers need to find the net to gain confidence, a game against a team who have conceded 26 in 15 games would be a dream. And confidence is clearly non existent at the moment for these youngsters.
And now facing Point Fortin next, who have scored 26 in 16, you wonder how they will raise themselves for the game.
Bring back my old Rangers!!

Whoever says the Pro League isn't exciting or good quality is living in the dark ages!
Point Fortin vs Defence Force tonight was a massive game! Army needed to make up points before their Caribbean Cup trip to Jamaica, while Point knew a win tonight in their game in hand would set them up nicely to move into second spot if they beat Rangers on Tuesday.
Nice crowd too - around 500 and not all were from Point. Aside from Army fans, there were a lot of neutrals. With several big games coming up, it would be great if we get back to 1,000 plus in the stadium.
Ok, so the pitch was a little rough after 2 youth team games earlier. Both teams came out fighting to win. It was pretty much Army attacking with Point looking to break. They had the first clear chance when Joseph got clear only to hit the post (twice, I think!).
But army played some nice intricate attacking moves and scored with a fortunate, but deserved goal. Much drama followed with Point hitting the woodwork again and both teams suffering near misses. Some justified off sides and some plain poor decisions followed as well as patchy decisions on fouls. A nasty two footed challenge by Army thoroughly deserved a red card - and got one.
All in all, a great game to watch with lots of good football and talking points.
Really loving Pro League at the moment!!

You see fixtures like Point Fortin vs Rangers and Jabloteh vs W.Connection and feel sure that you know exactly what will happen. Is it even worth bothering to attend, unless you're interested in just how many goals Point or Connection will score. But those that didn't go missed an intriguing evening.
Point Fortin Civic 2 - 1 St Ann's Rangers
Just when you thought it was safe to play St Ann's, my Rangers are back. And this time they're dangerous!!
Fielding 4 teenage trialist debutantes, you feared for the Port of Spain outfit before the game, but Rangers were inspirational. They took the lead in the 10th minute, and deservedly so. This was a Point Fortin team seldom seen this season. Nervy and, dare I say, seemingly clueless at times. Rangers kids played with the gusto and verve I have admired this season, but now they have an end product. Still a little hesitant in front of goal, but they suddenly understand what the opponents goal is for and took ample target practice.
To be fair to Point, they had several good chances, but the Rangers keeper had a good game. Points penalty was debatable, but the officials had a remarkably good game and the decision was 50/50. Civics 2nd goal was nice and well taken. This victory lifted Point to 3rd place on goal difference, equal with North East and Central on 32 points from 18 games. However, of the two coaches, I'm sure that the Rangers coach was happier tonight. Point Fortin will have to step up if they want to take any points from Central in the six pointer on Friday night. Praise must go out to the four debutantes who will certainly be signed by Rangers and a stand out performance from captain Jelani Peters. If Rangers stay in this form, they will take points from someone, which could effect the top two places.
W.Connection 4 - 0 San Juan Jabloteh
I obviously hoped that Jabloteh could do the same to Connection that Rangers did to Point. However, after less than 3 minutes, Jabloteh keeper, Shane Mattis was injured in a collision and spent around 5 minutes receiving treatment. He was clearly unfit to continue and took off his jersey at one point, but Jabloteh had forgotten to pack a reserve keeper, so the gutsy Jamaican had no choice but to continue.
Whether it was to protect their injured keeper or maybe because their mainstay central defender Dario Holmes was absent, Jabloteh played with a virtual back 6, affording Connection no room to play in the final third. However, this left the San Juan outfit with minimal attacking outlets and they spent the whole first half parking the bus, although they did manage a few half chances. More worrying was that Connection seemed nonplussed by Jablotehs defensive plot and couldn't find away through, much as they failed for 45 minutes against 10 man Central on Friday. Maybe the pressure of being chased in the league and seeing their lead increasingly reduced had taken its toll, as there was none of the usual flowing football that became a trademark of Connections season before January.
The game reached half time with the score at 0-0, but you believed that Connection would eventually beat the injured Mattis in the Jabloteh goal.
However, surprise, surprise, Jabloteh came out fighting and put some decent pressure on Connection in the first few minutes. However, it was only a matter of time before Connection scored. While Mattis managed to save Britto's shot but there was no strength in the Jamaican's wrist and the ball rebounded back to Britto to knock home. Mattis was way short of 100% and he would not have allowed Benjamin's cross to reach Joevin Jones had he been fit. Jones had an easy finish and a landslide looked likely.
Connection were back to their clinical selves in the second half and their third goal was a beauty and reminded us of the quality that has been missing over the last 4 or 5 games. Again it was Jones who benefitted from some nice play by Arcia. It seems like there is some kind of law these days that says that Apai has to score, and he popped home the fourth after a blistering run. But there were still a few wobbles for Connection as Jabloteh tried to make a game of it. Jean-Luc Rochford was easily San Juans best player and he had a few shots, one of which clipped the crossbar.
Hats off to a brave performance by Mattis and questions must be asked why Keith Jeffrey hadn't put a reserve keeper on the bench.
Connection look far from the steam rolling machine they were before Christmas, but they now have an 8 point lead and only self destruction will prevent them lifting the title. However, a strong North East Stars team will face them on Friday in a scintillating double header at Ato Boldon that could see 2nd spot change places twice inside two hours. Who will be second on Saturday morning? North East Stars, Point Fortin or Central F.C.?

Not a bad crowd for the first of two big games tonight. 2nd spot could change 3 times during the course of the evening.
The game wasn't bad with North East as usual defending deep and relying on fast breaks. To me (and I have to be careful because I am accused of being anti - Connection) the game hinged on two incidents in which the referee influenced the game. Around 27 minutes a strong tackle on a North East player saw him crash into a team mate, both pole axed on the ground. The spinning ball fell to another North East player and another strong tackle floored him too. I felt that both tackles were fouls (but not worthy of a yellow card). For some reason that I can't fathom, Daneil Cyrus strongly contested the foul and and out of nowhere, a melee occurred in which several players continued to chase down and push each other. The referee eventually calmed things with the help of a referees assistant and issued a yellow card to (I think) Cyrus and a North East player and, maybe a third to another Connection player.
Now, I like Cyrus, but I felt that his actions warranted a red card. Most of the crowd seemed to agree.
This is where the consistency of referees comes into question, because one week a red card is shown for foul language and the next a yellow for aggressive behavior. Two different sins, but which is the worse?
So North East patch themselves up and, against the run of play, Trevin Caesar scores a beautiful goal.
But Connection get right back on the attack. A long ball goes into the box and it appears (to me) that the Connection striker is fouled. But the ref plays the advantage and the Connection guy heads wide. Then the ref signals a penalty. Everyone in the crowd is nonplussed! There was definitely a foul inside the box, but the player still controlled the ball and had his attempt on target. Joevin Jones slotted away the penalty nicely.
The rest of the game was littered with Connection attacks. North East defended well (as usual) and had one or two chances themselves. A draw seemed a fair result, but those two decisions effected the game and it's a shame that top games like this are decided by the ref.
Point Fortin 0 - 2 Central F.C.
The crowd had more than doubled by the second game to around 500 with the SIS Tassa band setting the rhythm. Again, it was a case of one team (Point) sitting back and attacking on the break, while Central attacked from all angles. Central were forced to make three changes, with Guerra and Oliver suspended and Mitchell not recovered from the injury that saw him carried off after 10 minutes vs Connection last week. Benjamin came into left back position while Jamal Jack moved up to midfield alongside de Silva, with Winchester as an attacking midfielder.
Central were pushing for the opener, but Civic looked lively too. Central's first goal could have been cancelled out by the ref when Marshall raised his foot at head height to reach the ball. It fell to Jamal Jack to hit home.

As we saw last week, it appears that a first goal is a signal for Central to keep attacking and two minutes later, Winchester doubled the score.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152296843157095&set=o.478681882226491&type=2&theater
Point Fortin scored a nice goal, which was ruled offside. I was at the other end of the pitch, so I can't say if the decision was just, but the referees assistant had his flag raised early. For me, the best moment of the first half was a superb 25 yard shot from (I think) Marcus Joseph. I was right behind the ball and it swerved towards the top corner away from Jan-Michael Williams. However, Williams showed great footwork and launched himself to get a hand to the ball. Great shot and great goalkeeping.
Second half was workmanlike for Central, who have learned how to hold onto a lead at last. For me, Yohance Marshall was Man of the Match with another solid performance in front of Stephen Hart, with Sean de Silva impressing in the middle. In the 93rd minute a Point Fortin player earned a second yellow after a clear two footed tackle, which seemed to anger the Point players and supporters, but I felt the decision was fair. Central are now 13 games unbeaten, and still haven't lost in 2014.
So, Connection's lead is down to 6 points, with Central 2 points clear of North East and 3 points ahead of Point Fortin. All four teams have 5 games left, many of which are against each other, or Army, who have 4 games in hand and sit 6 points behind Point Fortin.
Plenty of big games left this season, and I'm sure there will be more twists in the tale.
Who says the Pro League is boring???

Police 3 = 0 San Juan Jabloteh
Not the most appetising fixture at a windy Larry Gomes Stadium today. But, again, plenty of incidents, and maybe, refereeing blunders?
Don't let the scoreline mislead you, Jabloteh, for me, were the much better team and had lots of possession. What they lack is a clinical target man. With a Caesar or Plaza today, Jabloteh would have scored a hat full.
Don't get me wrong, Police defended in their usual workmanlike, robust manner. Although this is the best season for Police in a long time, they have regressed since they peaked with a 4-0 drubbing of Central F.C. 4 months ago. There is just no flair to their game. They do, however, break well with the long ball and today, their 3 goals could be either pure luck or clinical finishing. I'll let you decide.
Jabloteh actually scored first with a great cross into the box from the touchline that was neatly tapped home. However, the ref's assistant said the ball had gone out of play. Not sure about that one.
First Police goal came from the right. Minutes before, Joel Lewis went on a maundering run and hit the side netting from outside the box. In the 38th minute he repeated the same move. As the Jabloteh players prepared for the goal kick, the referee pointed to the centre spot. Confusion was on the faces of the 50 or so supporters in the stand and all 22 players on the pitch. When the players realised that the referee awarded a goal, several San Juan players approached the fourth official asking how can it be a goal when the ball is alongside the goal net.
At half time, I was told that the net had a whole and the ball hit the stanchion and bounced out through the hole. Now I was never good at physics, but how can a ball coming from the right of the pitch enter the goal, hit the right stanchion and bounce through a hole in the right side of the net?
But it may well have happened and the ref gave a correct call.
Second goal was, pure and simply, a goalkeeping fumble. A bread & butter shot came in from Police, the diving keeper failed to hold it and it bounced off his chest into the path of Kenaz Williams. Good striking instinct from Williams. Maybe the keeper will say that the ball moved in the air, as it was quite windy.
Third goal was either a masterpiece of calculated shooting or pure luck. Jameel Perry was 25 yards out with no options and launched a shot/cross (he'll obviously say it was a shot!) which kind of ballooned towards goal and dipped over the keepers head. This one definitely moved in the air, but was the keeper in the wrong position?
Well, 3 goals are 3 goals, but I feel Jabloteh will feel very disappointed. Statistics don't always prove a case, but Jabloteh had 7 corners while Police had none. I'm pretty sure they had more shots on target too.
Nearly forgot: Because of the wind, the corner flags kept blowing over and the ref stopped the game several times so they could be re erected. Quite frustrating for the flow of the game and in the end players from both teams assisted the ref and 4th official. Funny thing is, the flag at the other end was also virtually lying down, but the ref wasn't concerned with that one!
Also, if there was a hole in the goal net, why didn't the assistant ref spot it when he inspected it?
Funny old game (to be continued, I expect!)

Central and Police were due to meet from 6 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva in the first game of a double header. The second fixture, which pits league leader DIRECTV W Connection against fourth place Point Fortin Civic, will kick off as scheduled at 8 pm.
(WIRED868).
Post by: Football supporter on March 28, 2014, 09:03:39 PM
So, Central get a phone call just after midday saying that Police F.C. will not be able to field a team for tonight's game as they have had to report for duty to police the demonstration outside parliament.
More on that to follow.
W.Connection vs Point Fortin Civic 8pm Ato Boldon
Apparently, many people arrived for the 6pm fixture and turned away when they discovered that it was cancelled. (This is just hearsay from a security guard at the stadium)
But there was still the usual decent crowd following Point, probably around 4-500 (more than at the demonstration in town!)
Very wet, rainy conditions which made control difficult for both teams. Connection looked more like their old selves and were organised at the back. Point really struggled offensively but defended well. Connection had a free kick outside of the box in the 8th minute and Alvin Jone's bullet hit the wall, and deflected over the head of Marvin Phillip into the net.
Connection continued to pile on the pressure in search of a second goal but Point held on.
Connection put on Neil Benjamin at half time to give them pace down the right. He immediately made an impact by skinning the Point left back, but after this, the defender just gave him an extra yard and he didn't really threaten. But Benjamin's appearance prevented Connection from defending as high up the field and this allowed Point to take hold of the game. Connection did get a useful one v one break, but Phillip was solid and made the save.
Point never really looked like they could score and Cyrus had Joseph in his pocket all night. Gerard Williams played his usual Captain Fantastic game and the game looked certain to finish 1 - 0 as Connection wound down the clock.
There had been a long injury delay when Connection's keeper saved from a Civic shot and this delay proved decisive. Teesdale had come on late in the game but he did prove to be an influence. Then, suddenly as everyone looked towards the ref for his whistle, a mistake allowed Point a two v two break. The ball was slid to Cooper who took an extra touch to steady the ball and planted it into the Connection net.
The crowd went crazy! As soon as Connection kicked off, the game ended to euphoria from the traveling Civic fans.
In my opinion, it was a fair result. Connection bossed the first half, but failed to get the crucial second goal, while Point kept on plugging away in the second half.
Plenty more Pro League excitement to come over the next 6 weeks!

Police pulling out last minute is the price we have to pay having government teams in the PFL.

Defence Force 2 - 0 North East Stars
4pm Ato Boldon
Probably more people on the pitch than in the stands for this game, which had a huge bearing on the race for the top two spots.
Both teams started as you would expect, the resilient Stars defence and the persistent pot shots and charges by Army.
Defence Force took the lead through some unusually lax defending by Stars. Meanwhile, Caesar looked no match for the Army defence and never looked his usual dangerous self.
North East made two changes at half time, which reflected the desperation of Angus Eve to earn at least a point to keep in touch with Central. Second half was a much better attacking display by Stars and you expected a breakthrough to come as Army were forced to concentrate on defence. It seemed like only a matter of time before the equaliser when disaster struck.
Cleon John, who has been arguably the leagues best keeper along side Jan-Michael Williams took a goal kick. If he had made a list of all the players on the pitch to give the ball to, Devon Jorsling would have been No 21. Yet that's exactly who the North East captain passed to. Jorsling, standing alone 10 yards from the box, controlled the ball and thundered the ball goalwards. John, who could easily have frozen, remarkably got a hand to the shot, but it wasn't enough to prevent Jorsling doubling the lead.
As if that wasn't bad enough, in the last minute Caesar was red carded, apparently for an off the ball incident which will see Stars top scorer miss a crucial game, possibly against Central F.C. a week Tuesday. I'm not sure if Angus Eve is a Baptist, but I suspect he'll definitely still be shouting throughout Monday's holiday!

Point will do really well with such attendance - I'm sure it'll be a big draw compared to other teams in the league for players - everyone likes to play in front of a crowd :p Also good financially.Civic will set some standards re. fan support. Hopefully it will catch on with the other team's fans.

Police F.C. vs Caledonia AIA 6pm Ato Boldon
Ok, not the most exciting fixture on paper, but this game is played on grass!
Both teams are pretty much fighting for a 6th place finish, but you would have thought more was at stake by the way the game was played. Police haven't been too bad most of the season, but they did hit a slump which maybe prevented them challenging for 3rd or 4th spot.
Lately, they've been playing a bit like Constable Plod, eking out results without any verve, but tonight, especially in the first 20 minutes, they were more like the fabled Flying Squad. They must have had three decent one vs ones in the first 10 minutes. Sadly, all 3 attempts looked like pass backs, with the keeper not really threatened. But the point is, Police were actually producing free flowing attacking football!
Caledonia too, had some nice breaks and also fluffed a one vs one.
But it wasn't a surprise when Lewis put Police ahead and deservedly so.
Both teams didn't appear to field their strongest teams, but the game was well contested. Caledonia equalised in 35th minute with their Lewis jumping on the score sheet.
The game wasn't as riveting in the second half. Police brought on club captain Todd Ryan around 70 minutes but he didn't have much impact. Caledonia kept pushing and Keyon Edwards popped home the winner with around 5 minutes left.
Caledonia 2 - 1 Police F.C.
My main talking point was that the Police keeper wore an orangy-red jersey which was uncomfortably similar to Caledonia's jerseys. A couple of weeks ago a goalie wore a green jersey playing against Jabloteh. Again, the greens were different shades, but aren't keepers, like officials, supposed to clearly stand out? Only two or three seasons ago, Jabloteh forfeited a game because their red socks clashed with Ma Pau's! ??? Spoke to the referee today. She said she ordered the keeper to change his shirt but he didn't have a spare so rather than call off the game she allowed the jersey to be used as it was similar, but not the same. Fair enough.
The main event tonight was Defence Force vs Point Fortin
Point needed to win to stay in touch with 2nd, 3rd or 4th place. Army needed to win to grab 2nd or even 1st spot.
People, this was a fantastic game. And let me say that the man of the match was referee Neil Brizan. I don't think he made a bad call. And the game was ferocious at times with heavy challenges all over the field. But Brizan recognised the passion in the game and mostly kept his cards in his pocket. :beermug:
Both teams started of fast, but Civic looked the more dangerous and you could see that goals would be scored. Modeste put the Southerners in front with a neat header and you felt that Point would add to their total. Marvin Phillip made some important stops and looked unbeatable.
!0 minutes into the second half and Point doubled their lead, with a goal from former Central defender, Wesley John. That looked to be 3 points in the bag, but Army hadn't read the script. Less than 10 minutes later, Jorsling dragged a goal back. Momentum in football is a powerful weapon (as Central discovered when they lost a 2-0 lead to W.Connection)and less than two minutes later Josimer Belgrave equalised. Now it really was game on and both teams pushed for the winner. Joseph (I think) hit the post with a cracking shot and Phillip produced more heroics. Players were being stretchered off in all directions as the intensity continued. The game was settled with the exotically named Balondemu Julius finding the net for Army, but there was still 15 minutes of excitement left before Brizan blew his whistle.
Defence Force 3 - 2 Point Fortin
Now, that momentum thing could work for Army who are 10 points behind Connection with 3 games in hand and at least one game to play against Connection. Army are 3 points behind Central with 2 games in hand, while North East are tied with Point Fortin, but have a game in hand. This league could be won by calculators at the end of the season!
Another great night of Pro League football. Coming next this weekend - Lucozade Shield quarter finals (draw takes place tomorrow)

W.Connection 6 - 1 Police F.C.
Not as straightforward as the scoreline appears, but the goals tell the story of Connections ability to fill the onion bag.
Police F.C. are still having their best season for some time, having won 8 of their 19 fixtures before tonight. They started off quite strongly, but their lack of decisive finishing again let them down.
Connection seemed content to rely on their lightning breaks and were camped inside their own half for much of the first 25 minutes. However, it seemed every time that W made a break, they would score. First two goals were both penalties, which looked like the correct decisions and there was a decent call for a third which was declined. The Police captain, who had been booked fairly early in the game committed suicide by Police when he earned a deserved straight red for a late tackle. However, the Cops spirit didn't fade and they managed a token reply.
By half time, the score was 3-1 and, unlike their Lucozade Shield outing on Friday, the Savonetta Boys came out determined to add to their tally. Police continued to fight and the result was not a fair indication of the effort that they put in, while Connections quality finishing exaggerated the margin of their superiority.
Central F.C. 5 - 1 Caledonia AIA
Another misleading scoreline as Central (who had put 4 past Cale on Friday) seemed to be half a yard short in all areas. Not a convincing performance by The Sharks, but clinical finishing by Plaza was the key factor. In fact, Plaza should have had his hat trick inside 30 minutes, but he eventually put away his third. Goals from Guerra and Delice flattered the scoreline and Mitchell had a shot that bounced down off the bar but failed to cross the line. Caledonia actually played better than their Friday game and worked hard to contain the multiple threats from Winchester, Plaza, Guerra and Mitchell, with Jamal Jack playing almost as an attacking midfielder. Caledonia's goal came from a very rare mistake by Marshall and Caledonia could have scored a second when Oliver's bad pass fell to the opposition. Still, it's now 15 games unbeaten and 7 straight wins for The Sharks, two records that won't be beaten this season.
All in all, two below par performances from the leagues two top teams, but their ability to score repeatedly explains why they stand head and shoulders above the chasing pack.

Police started out strong and hit the crossbar twice in first 10 mins. Meanwhile, Sebro had an open goal which he missed with a shot wide enough off target to ensure Coach Russell strips him off his marksman patch in the morning. Army's first goal should result in Police defenders being charged with criminal negligence! Great cross from the right pinpointed Jorsling who was literally squeezed between two Police defenders, while the keeper stayed on his line. Jorslings first touch was sublime and allowed him to slot away the opener. Army's second goal was also the result of sleeping policemen. But, on the whole, the game was fairly even, with Police looking surprisingly sharp on the attack. The boys in blue clawed back a goal before half time. Police fought hard and pushed for an equaliser, but again, were the cause of Army's third goal.
Police could still cause one or two upsets with games against Central and another vs Army on Tuesday. Just depends if they arrive with their SWAT team who could get a result or their white collar crime detectives who just go through the motions without upsetting anybody.
Caledonia 3 - 1 San Juan Jabloteh.
Not a remarkable game aside from a 5 or 6 minute spell in the first half. Both teams started fairly evenly, sparring without too much success until a San Juan jab caught AIA off guard. 1-0 to the green machine. But straight from kick off (and I really mean "straight from kick off"), The Eastern Stallions equalised. A rocket fired goal wards was palmed away by the Jabloteh keeper, straight into the path of another Caledonian and -BANG- the lead lasted for 60 seconds. But worse was to come when Jabloteh lost possession from their kick off and Caledonia scored a carbon copy goal to take the lead. This time, the rocket was so hard it flew between the keepers hands and hit him in the face. The ricochet was pounced on and despite a valiant effort by the keeper (who was probably slightly concussed and had no clue of what he was doing!) the ball was hit home.
You may recall that a couple of weeks ago, Jabloteh's first choice keeper, Shane Mattis fractured his shoulder during a game against W.Connection and had to play on for an hour, as Keith Jeffries had decided not to pack a spare? Tonight, Jabloteh's custodian (don't know his name, but I think he may be the U18 keeper) was injured early on and had 4 or 5 minutes of treatment and, again, there was no reserve keeper on the bench. (Note: If Coach Jeffries offers you a lift in his car, before accepting, check his trunk just in case he's decided not to bring a spare wheel)
The second half was hardly a classic and both teams seemed to cancel each other out. Caledonia scored a third near the end, but if you had left at half time, you wouldn't have been surprised if the game had ended in a draw.
A much needed win for Caledonia and more questions for Jabloteh.

The games were pushed back by 1 hour due to the overrun of the national athletics preparations for the Calista games. Also, teams had to use the dressing rooms at Jean Pierre as the HC ones are under repair!
St Anns Rangers 3 -2 Caledonia
Rangers took the lead with a sublime chip from near the halfway line by their number 10. Really can't remember much about the game as I was trying to de-stress by babysitting before the Central F.C. game!
I know that the number 10 scored a second goal and the game was tied 2-2 until late when Rangers got their winner. As usual, Rangers played with gusto and verve (no, not two foreigners drafted in) and I felt they deserved the win.
North East Stars 2 - 1 Central F.C.
All credit to North East who came out of the stalls with winning on their minds. Right from the kick off by Central, the ball was given away and Stars nearly scored. Caesar bagged his first after 4 minutes through horrendous defending by Benjamin and Central looked like they were still in the dressing room (which was quite a distance away). Inside 20 minutes and it was Caesar 2 Central 0 with Benjamin, again, looking like the villain.
Central failed to get a foothold though they had many attacks, but their usual clinical finishing had deserted them and pulled on a North East jersey.
Half time couldn't come too soon for The Sharks and Fenwick made two decisive changes when he removed Benjamin and Delice and replaced them with de Silva and Mitchell. From the restart, Central looked more like Sharks with teeth with a lot more energy in midfield and Jamal Jack, who began the game in midfield and came close to scoring, reverted to right back.
Central were awarded a penalty around 55 minutes. I have no idea what for, but there didn't seem to be many complaints. Guerra converted and it was game on. There were a couple of heavy challenges from North East. Marcano was cynically poleaxed which resulted in a yellow card and Jack was flattened which resulted in his removal by stretcher, yet no foul was given. :o
Leston Paul was introduced and apart from a few breaks, Central went gung ho for goal. Marcano caused lots of trouble but his final deliveries were poor. Plaza never really got a decent opening as Stars relied on their usual resolute defending.
At the whistle, Central had not only lost the game, but also their shot at the title and possibly even a second place finish. It's in the hands of Defence Force now who's title hopes will rest on their two games against Connection.
Ironically, Central's chance of qualifying for CONCACAF could depend on Connection winning both games vs Army!
Go Connection :wavetowel: It's a funny old game!

T&T Guardian
St Lucian-born former T&T coach Stuart Charles-Fevrier and Ross Russell, an ex-T&T goalkeeper have both expressed confidence in leading their respective clubs, DirecTV W Connection and Defence Force to this year’s Digicel T&T Pro League which carries with it a $1 million prize.
Currently, W Connection, winners in 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2011/12 lead the nine-team with 45 points from 21 matches and three left to play while Pt Fortin Civic FC is next with 39 points but with only one match left.
Defending champions Defence Force also lifted the title in the inaugural league season in 1999 and 2010/2011 as well is third with 38 points and five matches, the same as Central FC, but the latter only has three matches to play.
As its stands, W Connection is in firm control of its own destiny along with Defence Force, while Central FC needs some other results to go its way to be crowned champions after slipping up against North East Stars, 1-2 in its last match.
Pt Fortin Civic and fifth placed Stars (36 points from 22 matches) while out of the title race for certain are also still in the hunt for a top two finish which will guarantee a spot in next year’s Caribbean Football Union Club Championships, a qualifier to the Concacaf Champions League, meaning a lot is still to play for apart from the league’s top prize.
W Connection, which also faces Central FC in the Lucozade Sport Goal Shield final on April 25 with the hope of adding to its three titles won already this season, will face Defence Force on May 4 and May 6 before completing its schedule versus Caledonia AIA on May 13.
In addition to playing four-time champions W Connection on May 4 and May 6, Defence Force, which is seeking a third title in four years and fourth overall since the league was established in 1999 will also come up against St Ann’s Rangers, Caledonia and San Juan Jabloteh.
The Terry Fenwick-coached Central FC have matches remaining against Police, San Juan Jabloteh and St Ann’s Rangers; Pt Fortin ends against Caledonia AIA while Stars come up against Rangers and Police.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the fixtures, Charles-Fevrier noted that the title is a journey and not an event.
He added, “W Connection is where we wanted to be when the season started, that’s in the hunt for the top prize. We are now approaching the business end of things and we are in a good position to come out on top.
With regards to his team’s remaining schedule, Charles-Fevrier, who has led the club to two of its previous four league triumphs as well as numerous cup wins, noted that it will not be an easy ride as they have three tough matches to come.
“We play defending champions Defence Force, who are also in the title hunt twice and then Caledonia, so we have do everything that is legally possible to get the necessary results to claim the crown.
Asked his team was under any added pressure as leaders, the W Connection boss replied, “There is always pressure on professional players and at our club its no different.
However, he warned that the pressure brings out two sides in individuals. “It’s either the pressure makes you worse or it makes you better, and we have been in the league for 15 years, so we are used to it and working on maintaining our focus.”

Kind of funny now that Central need Connection to beat Army twice so they can have a chance of 2nd spot!

I too have a problem with this and the League habitually makes this mistake, the only rationale I can think of is that they figure Army has played less matches but that rationale is flawed (no one knows what the results of the games in hand would be), the basis should be points first if points are same, then goal difference, if goal difference is same then the team who scored more goals would be ahead. Until games in hand are played & results known then the adjustment(s) would be made.

Are they ordering by results/goals for between teams? What were the central DF games in the season?
This should only come into play if everything is equal, games played, points, goals for, goals against, & even then the head to head can be equal, this league is 3 rounds so each team plays the other 3 times so what if they each win one game with the same scoreline and the other match drawn, then they would be joint 2nd, 3rd etc, so it should be points, goal difference & then goals for.
One example in 2006 Joe Public won the League, Connection came second, they both had equal points, equal goal difference but Joe Public scored more goals and won the title by virtue of scoring more goals.

Defence Force 2 - 1 St Ann's Rangers
It appeared that maybe Defence Force had rested players with their eye on Friday's Pro League clash with Caledonia and rumour has it that Jorsling may have a hamstring injury. Certainly, Army didn't look their usual dominant force, although they had bucket loads of missed chances. If the Rangers performance was as good as they gave in recent games, this could have been a costly upset as Army cannot lose two games if they want to make sure of finishing above Central F.C. in second spot, while a clear run of wins would see them finish top. The 0-0 half time score reflected a rather dull game with no real high points. But Coach Russell must have exchanged the blanks for live rounds as 2 minutes after the interval, Kerry Joseph put Army into the lead. Much of the same first half performance continued until Josimar Belgrave scored a nice goal to put the game beyond doubt...or was it? Rangers finally found the target 3 minutes later and there was a real possibility of a draw. However, Army held out and got another 3 points closer to Connection, who they still have to play twice.
Ato Boldon 8pm
Police 1 - 4 Central F.C.
Shocking start for Central who have failed to win over Police in the league and also suffered their heaviest league defeat when the lawmen won 4-1 in November. Within 3 minutes, Aaron Stewart saw his shot take two deflections before hitting Jan-Michael Williams net to give Police an early lead. It was the usual physical performance with Winchester taking plenty of hard knocks. Central won a penalty, but Guerra failed to beat the keeper and it was looking like another jinxed night against Police. But Guerra made up for his penalty faux pas when, in the 26th minute, he collected the ball outside the box and with nothing opening up in front of him, sent a trademark low shot into the corner of the Police net.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152364010352095
3 minutes later saw Plaza score a sublime individual goal that would make Stephen Harts' mouth water.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152364013232095
Central bossed the game from then on. Winchester and a Police defender ran full pelt for a loose ball and the crash that resulted could be heard in the stands. Thankfully, both players continued after some treatment. Plaza struck again in the 51st minute to seal the 3 points for Central. Although the keeper did well to save Plazas shot, he couldn't hold the ball and Plaza tapped home for his 14th goal since January. However, the goal could be costly as Plaza took a nasty knock on his foot and had to leave the field on a stretcher. Winchester too received another injury when a Police defender took his legs away. He was shown a red card and the four Police players who argued aggressively with the ref for at least 3 minutes were lucky to not even receive a yellow. Central continued to push forward and substitute Peltier missed a great one on one opportunity. But with virtually the final kick of the ball, Mitchell made it 4 which was just revenge for Central's 4-1 defeat earlier in the season.
Central must win their two remaining games vs Jabloteh and St Ann's Rangers to have any hope of second place, but that will depend heavily on W.Connection taking 6 points from Army. Meanwhile, Central will have to pull themselves back together after this bruising encounter before they face Connection on Friday in the Lucozade Goal Shield final.

Central on 42 points with superior goal (conceded) difference.Directv W Connnection are the 2013/2014 TT Pro League Champions whipping Defence Force 4-1
If Army loose today and Central win their last game they will finish 2nd.
The tie today really hurt them.
Central have Rangers next and Army will play Jaboteh.
Connection will be crown champs if they win today.
W Connection 4 - Stefano Rijssel 4', Joevin Jones 31', 86', Hashim Arcia 38'
Defence Force 1 - Josimar Belgrave 37'
Defence Force has to lose their next match & Central must win theirs to be guaranteed 2nd place. Army just needs 1 point from their last game against Jabloteh, this draw tonight hurt Central so they will have to hope that Jabloteh can hold off Army & then they will come second on goal difference.

Anyone knows the scores from the other games?
The other matches were not played as the referees felt the field markings were not good enough.

If they don't mess up the DF with emergency work, then they will perform better. If they keep on getting their season interrupted, then they should figure out an alternative than the pro league.

Defence Force and Central FC, will seek second spot in the 2013-2014 Digicel Pro League and qualification for next season’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship. Already, Directv W Connection have filled the first CFU qualifying spot, having won the $1 million Pro League title this season.
Defence Force and Central FC take on separate opponents today. Last season’s champions Defence Force are currently second on 45 points and only need a point from their final match of the season to secure the CFU spot. They take on San Juan Jabloteh from 9 p.m. at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Meanwhile, third-placed Central FC have 42 points and a superior goal difference over the “Army,” but only have a slim chance of grabbing second spot. Central must first beat the bottom team St. Ann’s Rangers when they clash from 6 p.m. at the Ato Boldon Stadium, and hope that the soldiers fall against Jabloteh later that night.
Last Thursday, during the launch of the 2014 Digicel Pro Bowl, TT Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene used the opportunity to applaud clubs on a competitive 2013-2014 Digicel Pro League championship. He pointed out that the league championship has been an exciting one, not having sure winners until the penultimate day.
“We still have two clubs [Defence Force and Central FC] battling for the second Caribbean Club Championship spot on the final day of competition. It’s a tremendous advertisement for the Digicel Pro League and moreso, the Trinidad and Tobago Professional Football League.
“One of the benchmarks of a strong professional league is the competitiveness of the games and we can truly say that we have a competitive league in which the result of the games are unpredictable.”
Following what was to be today’s official final round, the Pro League season will actually wrap up with two rescheduled matches on May 20. The matches were postponed from a week ago due to poor marking of the field at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. North East Stars will meet Rangers in one match, and Caledonia take on Point Fortin Civic in the final game of the 2013-2014 League season.

Defence Force, Central FC vie for CFU Championship spot
T&T Newsday Reports.
THE ATTENTION is now on Defence Force and Central FC, as both clubs, against separate opponents today, will try to secure a second position finish in the 2013-2014 Digicel Pro League and qualify for next season’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship.
Defence Force, second on the standings with 45 points, stands with the best chance of securing the final of two CFU spots.
A draw or win against San Juan Jabloteh from 9 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo in Round Three Match Day Nine will cement coach Ross Russell’s side’s position behind league champions W Connection to represent Trinidad and Tobago in Caribbean Club Championship next year.
Connection, who secured the league crown, the $1,000,000 winners’ prize, and their CFU spot on the penultimate day, will wrap up its 2013-2014 league fixtures against Caledonia AIA from 9 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
While Central FC, with 42 points and a superior goal difference over Defence Force, must defeat St Ann’s Rangers, when they clash from 7 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium, and hope that the soldiers fall against Jabloteh later on the night.
Central and Defence Force are also aiming for the best finishes for a better share in the $1,000,000 of the league’s $2,000,000 prize money scheme this season.
Police FC, seventh with 27 points, and North East Stars, fifth with 36 points, also hoping to improve their positions on the league standings, will tackle each other from 7 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Last Thursday, during the launch of the 2014 Digicel Pro League, which kicked off on Friday with a very entertaining quarter-final round, TT Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene used the opportunity to applaud clubs on a competitive 2013-2014 Digicel Pro League championship.
He pointed out that the league championship has been an exciting one, not having a sure winner till the penultimate day.
“Congratulations to W Connection for winning the first edition of the million dollar prize,” said Skeene. “We still have two clubs (Defence Force and Central FC) battling for the second Caribbean Club Championship spot on the final day of competition.
“It’s a tremendous advertisement for the Digicel Pro League and more so the Trinidad and Tobago professional football league. One of the benchmarks of a strong professional league is the competitiveness of the games and we can truly say that we have a competitive league in which the result of the games are unpredictable.”
On May 20, North East Stars will meet Rangers, and Caledonia against Point Fortin Civic, in two rescheduled Round Three Match Day Eight fixtures to wrap up the 2013-2014 Pro League.
Skeene went on to add, “kudos must go to all of the teams including St Ann’s Rangers, San Juan Jabloteh and Police FC who have improved tremendously this season, for always striving to raise the bar, to win games and topple the leaders.
“Credit must go to the players for their excellent effort and display of God-given skill and talent.
“Credit must go the owners and clubs. At no time or point did Central FC, Defence Force, Point Fortin Civic or North East Stars give up, notwithstanding the gap, which was created by the fine early performance of W Connection.
“Special kudos to the Army, which despite the loss of two of our talented sons, Kevon Carter (died of a heart attack on February 28) and Rawle Fletcher (murdered on December 20), they still found the resilience and indomitable will to battle back to a position where victory was possible up to (last) Tuesday night, the penultimate night of the Digicel Pro League.
“It shows that the League’s values are revealing themselves in the very nature and behaviour of the teams. The TT Pro League is about exhibiting a never say die attitude and striving for excellence,” said the Pro League CEO.

The Digicel T&T Pro League has named outgoing Central FC head-coach Terry Fenwick and Defence Force midfielder/striker Josimar Belgrave as its April Coach and Player of the Month, respectively.
Fenwick, who set to join Belgian lower division outfit Cercle Sportif Visé later this month, led the ‘Sharks’ to five victories last month, including a 2-1 win over rivals W Connection in the final of the Lucozade Sport Goal Shield (LSGS).
Meanwhile, Belgrave scored five goals in six matches for Defence Force, including a hat-trick against Caledonia in the DPL. “I think my performances were fair,” Belgrave said.
