Peek Preview At Pro Bowl Semi-Finals
With Joel VillafanaSemi-Final No. 1
Friday 20th May, 2005
San Juan Jabloteh vs Tobago United
Mannie Ramjohn Stadium—6 P.M.
After a faltering start to the 2005 season, CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh are looking more and more like the team that dominated the season in 2003.
The San Juan giants look well set to go all the way to the Pro Bowl finals—but standing in their way is Tobago United who sits at the bottom of the league standings without a point.
It is only fair to say that the boys from Tobago will have to pull something extra special out of their hat, if they are to upset Jabloteh in the 1st semi-final of the Pro Bowl on Friday night.
Uppermost in the minds of Coach Terry Fenwick and his boys, will be the 7-0 thrashing they put on Tobago in the 7th round of the league competition.
Jabloteh’s speedy attacking midfielder Aurtis Whitley has sprung to life—and is enjoying some goal scoring form, netting four goals in his last two games.
Jabloteh took care of Caledonia AIA Fire in their Pro Bowl quarter-final match up winning the encounter quite comfortably by a 4-1 margin, while Tobago United was fortunate to receive a bye straight through to the semi-final stage.
Tobago Coach Peter Granville has his work cut out for him if he is to get past a rampant looking Jabloteh outfit and move on to what would be their first ever Pro Bowl final.
Pre-Match CommentsSan Juan Jabloteh’s Head Coach Terry Fenwick--“We would most probably go into the game as favorites, but by no means we will be taking anything for granted, it is still a Cup game and anything can happen.â€
“As far as I am concerned, we are still not where I want us to be in terms of fitness and tactical awareness, but the boys are working hard.â€
“Its great to have all the games in the cup up at one stadium—and we are taking it day by day—but we want to get to the final and then we will take it from there.â€
Tobago United Coach Peter Granville—“I know when we played Jabloteh last we were convincingly beaten—but we played good football in that match although the results don’t reflect that.â€
“However, we are starting to show signs of improvement and we are concentrating for longer periods of time.†“In knockout football there is no respect for anyone, and where you are in the league standings doesn’t matter—a team can rise to the occasion and we are hoping to rise come Friday night.â€
Semi-Final No.2
Friday 20th May, 2005
W Connection vs Defence Force
Mannie Ramjohn Stadium—8.15 P.M
The Defending Pro Bowl Champions Vibe CT 105 W Connection seems to be a cut above the rest of everyone this season—as they are playing beautiful football and they look in total control of each game they play.
The challenge therefore lies with Defence Force, as they will need to find a way to topple the Pro Bowl Champions in the 2nd semi-final clash in the 2005 Pro Bowl knockout competition.
Defence Force fell hard to the ‘Savonetta Boys’ when they met in round five of the league, losing 5-2, after leading 2-1 in the match—however, the Army/Coast guard outfit rebounded with a 4-1 win over Caledonia Fire in round 7 action—and then they eased past United Petrotrin 2-1 last Friday in the Pro Bowl quarter final.
So Coach Kerry Jamerson’s men are on a bit of a roll—since their 5th round defeat to Connection, and will be hoping their winning momentum continues this coming Friday.
This is the furthest Defence Force have reached in the short history of the Pro Bowl Tournament, last year they were knocked out at the quarter final stage by San Juan Jabloteh, so this year they will be eager to go all the way.
However, W Connection who defeated the League Champions National Quarries North East Stars by a 2-0 margin in the quarter finals—are cruising on cloud 9, as they are unbeaten so far this season, and it would be by no means an easy task for anyone to get the better of them.
Pre-Match CommentsDefence Force Manager Henry Charles—“When we played them last, we lost our way, because we were leading 2-1, so this time around we will be very careful, very cautious—and we will be aiming to play a full 90 minutes of football.†“We are strengthening all the departments of our game, so we will be ready.â€
“Gradually, we have been coming into form—and our strikers are scoring goals—young Devon Jorsling has matured and is coming into his own very nicely.â€
“We are very confident, despite we know Connection are like a loose cannon, running away with everything so far—but we believe our chances are very good against them.â€
W Connection Owner David John Williams– “As a club we always take things one step at a time, and we will be taking this game against Defence Force very seriously, as we know everyone will be coming at us hard.†“I don’t see why we can’t win the game and move into the final, that’s our objective and that’s what we will be playing for.â€
