MAASH stop CAPS in 'Eddie Hart'

MAASH International put in a workmanlike effort to come way with a hard-fought 3-1 win over a spirited CAPS 98 FC outfit in a Group B encounter of the Eddie Hart Football League (EHFL) at the Eddie Hart Savannah (EHS) last weekend.
 
In the last game of a double-header at the EHS two Sundays ago, Jason Joseph netted a brace, including a penalty, while Kevin Mc Cullum scored the other item for MAASH to extend their early winning streak to two wins.
 
Last year's runners-up MAASH, who led 2-0 at the break, were coming off a 5-0 win over Maloney Real Footballers in their season opener, while CAPS were 1-0 winners over Parliament SC.
 
MAASH played the last five minutes with ten men after Marvin Straker was red carded for a second yellow card offence.
 
In the opening affair, RSSR FA produced a sterling performance to come back from a 2-0 deficit early in the first period to claim a well-earned point via a 3-3 draw with Bird Song Small Stars.
 
Anthony George scored the precious equalising item for RSSR FA, nearing the end of a very lively Group C encounter.
 
Before that, Richard Anderson provided a double strike to keep his team in the game after Aquila Thomas' brace and a strike from Palo Barker kept Small Stars' noses in front until George's effort.
 
Tunapuna-based Small Stars, who were 2-1 winners over Madrid United in their previous outing, took a 2-1 advantage to their bench at the end of the first half.
 
On Saturday, Petit Bourg Youths collected their maiden win of the new season on the back of a 1-0 success over Macoya United in a Group A affair.
 
Christopher Nelson converted from the spot for the Petit Bourg boys, who had a loss and a draw in their previous matches.
 
It was debutants Macoya's first defeat of their campaign, following a 1-1 draw with Penetrators in their first game.

Football / Colin Agostini
« on: March 26, 2010, 08:30:34 PM »


COLIN FRANK AGOSTINI (Extreme left bottom row in photo)
1933-2010
R.I.P.
 
 
Colin Agostini, who died from pneumonia, early on Friday (26th. March 2010) morning, at Community Hospital, in his 77th year, was the “baby”, at 19, of the Trinidad & Tobago football team that toured the UK in 1952.
Colin came from a great sporting family and was an outstanding sportsman in his own right, in several different fields, football especially, as well as athletics, swimming and also horse racing, in which he was an acknowledged expert.
Colin captained St. Mary’s College (CIC) football teams in all age groups from Colts through to first class, playing either at inside left or at halfback, and did similarly for both North and the national teams too.
The CIC team he led in 1950 beat QRC 1-0 with the only goal being scored by his younger brother, Michael, who would go on to become one of T&T’s finest sprinters, whom Colin taught to kick with his “dummy” left foot, surprising the “Royalites” goal keeper, the late Marcus Minshall, another of T&T’s greatest all-round sportsmen.
In athletics, Colin became the first and possibly only person ever to win all running events from 100 yards through to one mile all on the same day at the CIC Annual Sports, along with the long jump, throwing the cricket ball and three legged race (with Michael), for one of his many Victor Ludorums.
Horse racing was another of his many passions, from bookmaking through to handicapping and even race calling at times; he was an astute punter who often won much more than he lost. 
While Michael focused on sprinting, becoming the first West Indian winner of the British Empire Games 100 yards, in Vancouver, B.C. Canada in 1954, as well as a double Olympic finalist (Melbourne, 1956), and much more, Colin’s major aim was to marry his childhood sweetheart, Jean Gomez (sister of the late Pat Gomez, one of T&T’s greatest football goalies), which they did in 1958. From this came six living children, Gerry and Marie-Therese, Sedley, Cathy (wife of Chico Govia, of hockey fame), Michele and Tricia (Mrs. Dane Fereira), and six grandchildren to date.
Besides his sporting achievements, and loving family relationships, Colin will also be remembered for being a scholar whom many say should have won an Island Scholarship, fine friend of many, especially card players at the Oval, knowledgeable raconteur and member of the Naturalists Club, hiker, mountain climber and strong swimmer in both still and sea waters.
His father, Sedley, captained T&T in football in the thirties, as also Shamrock which Colin led in the fifties after CIC.
Sedley senior and Michael “Mike” are both in the T&T Hall of Fame, Michael also recently inducted to the CIC Past Students Hall of Fame, both of which many agree Colin should also be in.
Their mother was the first of the 14 strong Govia family, several of whom played on representative teams, including top footballers “Sackie” and Henry (“Foxie”), one also once being the wife of the late Robert Hamel-Smith, another T&T football great.
Somewhere in that great playing field of the skies it is likely that Colin will be playing games of all sorts with his parents and relatives, now freed from the ravages of Parkinson’s Disease that destroyed so much of his last 15 years but never beat down his strong sportsman’s fighting spirit.
He will be missed by many, most of all his loving wife and family, who sat around his dying bed singing hymns as well as popular songs they loved (Jean was an outstanding soloist, as also were their daughters).

Drop ‘Soca’ from football teams

In view of the dismal performances of the national football team in the recent past, I believe that the US women’s under-17 team can beat the Soca Warriors with ease.

I think it’s time those responsible get rid of this “soca” image. Drop that name like a hot potato. It conjures up the spectacle of fete and bacchanal.

Modern football is not party and waving your rag and jumping up. It is hard work, science and technology, dedication, super fitness, planning and strategy, determination, intelligence and hard hard work.

Soca Warriors and Soca Princesses? Time to change that mentality!
