Mc Lean hat-trick, Gregory brace move AC PoS, Deportivo up.Is this the same Atiba Charles that played for Trinidad and Tobago?
By Walter Alibey (T&T Guardian).
A hat-trick by Sedal Mc Lean for AC Port of Spain and a double from Deportivo Point Fortin's (PF)Akinola Gregory led to the improvement of both teams on the Ascension Football League standings with one game to go before the halfway stage.
AC Port of Spain moved from seventh to sixth on the table, with nine points after eight matches, following a convincing 6-1 victory over Moruga FC in the opening game of a double-header at the Arima Velodrome on Saturday evening. Gregory's brace on the otherhand, also helped the Point Fortin men complete a 4-0 win over Real West Fort United, and move from fifth to fourth on the standings with 14 points.
The Port of Spain men were cautious not to slip against the league's whipping boys, and after an exchange of attacks in the early moments, Michel Poon-Angeron connected with a glancing header from a right-side centre to put his team ahead 1-0 in the 39th minute.
Coach Walt Noriega sat anxiously with hopes of climbing the table as his team emerged from the half-time interval with only a 1-0 advantage but four minutes later, they added another to open up the floodgates. Midfielder Saeed Charles galloped onto a through ball to beat goalkeeper Kervelle Turner on his first post for a 2-0 lead.
And then Che Benny, who had been standing unmarked on the right side of the penalty area for some time, was eventually picked out with a long ball from left to right. Benny, a former national youth midfielder and futsal player, collected nicely and skipped past the challenge of the advancing Turner, before slotting the ball into an empty net.
Goal number four came in the 67th minute, courtesy of a classic display of counter-attacking football. A poorly taken free kick from Moruga's Nigel John on the left side of the penalty area was quickly cleared down the right flank for Jabari Raphael, who quickly delivered it to Benny in the centre of the field. The latter then slipped the ball inside the area for Mc Lean to hit low under the body of the goalkeeper for a 4-0 advantage.
Moruga pulled a goal back in the 74th minute courtesy of a solo effort from Atiba Charles. The skilful midfielder latched on to a loose ball on the left side of the AC Port of Spain defence, cut in between two defenders inside the area, before hitting it low to the far post for a 1-4 scoreline.
However, it did not affect the final result as Mc Lean sealed the win with goals in the 77th and 88th minutes. First, Poon-Angeron, after a driving run from left to centre, released to Raphael on the right side. Raphael, the instigator of two previous goals for his team, quickly centred for the oncoming Mc Lean to steer in.
Then, Mc Lean beat Turner from the penalty spot after earlier being brought down by Turner himself. The Moruga custodian was initially given a red card by the referee, who later reversed his decision to a yellow card instead.
In the other match, a new-look West Fort was no match for an improving Deportivo PF outfit.
Gregory opened the scoring in the fourth minute, pouncing on the rebound after goalkeeper Jacques Poon-Lewis parried a blistering drive from Isaiah Garcia. Then Gregory sent Poon-Lewis the wrong way from the penalty spot to make it 2-0 in the 37th minute.
Andrei Pacheco was given a gift by Hughton Hector who carved his way through a weak West Fort defence and allowed him the opportunity to calmly slot the ball beyond the dive of Poon-Lewis for a 3-0 scoreline. Hector, denied a goalscoring chance earlier, then drilled the final nail into the Real West Fort coffin by steering in Isaiah Garcia's right-side centre in the 74th minute.

The TTFF should be able to pass on the information to you as they are the administrators.
You are assuming that they have the information. And even if they do, it doesn't mean much. For example, I have the contact information for all of the club managers/coaches/administrators in the Super League. When I request info, how much yuh think does answer? And I've been doing it for years. I had a point of contact for the Tobago leagues. I get info a couple of times and nothing more, because they was depending on other people who dropped the ball. Same thing with de Women's League. It eh easy. If we can reliably get the information we would gladly publish it. The best run league in terms of official communication is the Super League. They would supply me with results usually within the hour after matches are completed. They would consistently provide fixture lists, venues, kick-off times, match commissioners, fixture changes, match result disputes etc. Most if not all my inquiries were answered in a timely manner. Of course all of that was under All Sport Promotions. We'll see what happens next season.

Also the women's league and secondary schools and primary school pages all have pages.
Please browse the socawarriors.net homepage. There is a plethora of information there. Flex, Tallman and Eman work very hard on this. The forum is only a small part of the website.
Yeah i know these pages exist but there is no page with just the league standings and there has never been an update for the eastern counties football union. I want to find out if you can have a dedicated league standings page.
JAH BLESS

When you say a league standings page, do you mean all of the different league tables on one page?
Getting the fixtures and results from the various zonal leagues is very difficult. First of all, we don't even know who is in charge. Then comes the task of actually getting the info in a timely manner.
