CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh extended their winning ways when they defeated their Pro League counterparts Tobago United 2-0 in the first match of Day Two of the Clico Cup on Monday at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Tobago.


The San Juan based team is now leading the group in the first ever Clico Cup with just one match day to go and are favoured to win the inaugural tournament.

Although the match went in favor of the ‘San Juan Kings’, credit must be given to the ‘Tobago Boys’ for holding Jabloteh nil-nil at the half after having to defend for great periods.

It was Jabloteh that took the keys to the vehicle with brothers Jason Marcano and Elton John doing damage in the middle of the park with another young talent Atulla Guerra driving into the heart of Tobago United’s defence.

In the 12th minute Marcano made one of his daring runs down the right flank to send a wicked cross into the Tobago area but some great defending by Simon Nedd got the ball out to safety.

Tobago then managed to win a free kick inside the Jabloteh half but Pierre Joseph’s pass was struck wide of goal keeper Cleon John’s upright by Tichard Joseph in the 15th minute.

With continued dominance, Jabloteh took the match to the Tobagonians and seemed to have created a penalty in the 20th minute. Striker Anthony Wolfe was brought down inside the area by defender Kevin Adams after receiving a through ball by Atulla Guerra, but referee Lester Alleyne waved play on.

Jabloteh showed off in front of the Tobago fans as they continued the cat and mouse match with Tobago United and despite gelling well from defence into attack, Terry Fenwick’s men just wasn’t able to hit the back of the net, credit to the Tobago defenders.

On the 22nd minute mark Tobago’s goalkeeper Goeffrey Delpesche matched Wendell Joseph’s well worked powerful free kick with a confident block.

Six minutes later Jabloteh had another free kick and this time Atulla Guerra tried his luck but skied the ball over bar.

Tobago United managed a couple of inspiring runs with Pierre Joseph, Marvin Phillip and Jimmiel Smith combining well in attack.

In the 38th minute Marvin Phillips never stopped his supporting run and nearly got the opening goal of the match. Phillips was on hand to collect the ball after an error from Jabloteh’s defender Ronald Primus, but his shot was palmed away by goal keeper Cleon John as defender Akiel Harley cleared the ball away.

Both teams went into the dressings rooms 0-0 at the half a pleasing result for coach Peter Granville of Tobago United.

After the interval Coach Terry Fenwick used his full staff turnout with Trinidad and Tobago national players Nigel Daniel, Dwayne Jack and Trent Noel returning to his team after a friendly international against Guadeloupe last weekend and decided to pull them off the bench.

Straight into action Cyd Gray was the provider when he swung a decent cross to Wolfe but the striker never got over the ball seeing it lob over the goal.

In the 50th minute Tobago’s Collie Hurcules tried to pull a rabbit out of the hat with his long range shot that floated over the Jabloteh’s goal with Durance Williams between the uprights.

With Coach Granville making some changes himself a bit of fight looked possible for a moment when Dominique Kerr collected inside the Jabloteh half and powered his way towards goal but just before he got his shot off, big defender Marcelle Francois got in his way.

Jabloteh then separated themselves from Tobago when substitute Kevin Nelson netted the opening goal in the 57th minute. Nelson inside the area headed past goal keeper Delpesche after a set play with Marcano being instrumental for the 1-0 lead.

Later in the match Nelson missed out on his double missing the target after Marcano had done the hard work dribbling past defender Jimmiel Smith and running inside the area to knock the ball off.

On the 78th minute Jabloteh’s 2006 MVP Trent Noel crashed his 24 yard free kick on top of the Tobago upright to the relief of the home fans not conceding another goal.

Noel tried again in the 83rd but this time running in from the midfield he placed his shot over bar trying to catch goal keeper Delpesche off guard.

But a second goal was bound to come, in the 85th minute substitute Cyd Gray tapped the ball into the back of the net after a scuffle inside the area with a host of players getting a touch to the ball after goal keeper Delpesche was beaten by a cross ball, 2-0 to Jabloteh.

Just before the end Tobago United mustered a pair of attempts first from Collie Hurcules who shot wide off his far post, but then came the better attempt. Substitute Shelton Williams fired a low missile from outside the area that forced a diving parried block by goal keeper Durance Williams in the 87th minute.

The final attempt of the match came from goal scorer Nelson who fired a powerful shot directly at the Tobago goalie jus before the final whistle as Jabloteh registered their second win of as many matches in the Clico Cup.

Tobago United suffering another 2-0 loss, their first being against Millwall FC last Saturday.


Tobago United Dwane Jack now a Jabloteh player

Winning Coach Terry Fenwick commented on his new signing of national defender and former Tobago United player Dwayne Jack after the match.

He told ‘ttproleague.com’, ‘We have Jack with us now. He is going to be with Jabloteh on a two year contract with the option on renewing for another year after,” said the Englishman.

Fenwick added, “With Keyeno Thomas out of our squad now I think that Jack is a great replacement. He is on the national team which says a lot about the player and I see him improving here at Jabloteh,” ended the Jabloteh coach.

CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh is now leading the standings in the four team tournament with two
wins and would face English Division One Club Millwall FC in the second match of Day Three of the Clico Cup on Wednesday and would be look to punish the Englishmen to take home the Cup.

Tobago failed to get a win in their first two matches and would be hoping to change their luck against St Clair Coaching School in the first match of Day Three, which promises to be a great clash between the two Tobago rivals.

Millwall FC and St Clair Coaching School are currently on one win each and would be gunning for a win against their respective teams.

Coaching School come from behind to whip Millwall 2-1.
By: Randy Bando reporting from Bacolet, Tobago...

St Clair Coaching School had an impressive come from behind win to beat Millwall FC Under-20’s 2-1 in the second match of the Clico Cup on Day Two on Monday night at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Tobago.

The Tobagonians never gave up after conceding a first half goal in a match that started off in full flight as both teams played at high tempo.

Coaching School looked full of confidence and created spurs of attacks in the early stages that were matched at times by Millwall pleased the fans that turned out for the match.

The Tobago Club came into the match with a loss in their first against San Juan Jabloteh and wasn’t about to go down twice.

One of the best attempts by Millwall came in the 21st minute when Sam Higgins headed wide from inside the Coaching School area when he met Michael Noon’s cross ball.

But after hard work by both teams, Millwall took to the front with a Higgins strike in the 23rd minute. Higgins climbed the Coaching School defence well to head the ball into goal keeper Kyle Joseph’s top shelf when he met David Amoo’s right sided cross for the 1-0 advantage.

Six minutes later Coaching School tried to pull one back from a 22 yard Keon Price free kick, but his effort swung away from the Millwall goal.

For a moment Coaching School looked to have lost their early steam as Millwall strung some neat passes around the field although they weren’t able to build on their lead.

In the 32nd minute Millwall’s David Amoo created a spectacular opportunity for teammate Gary Noel. Amoo made one of his great runs inside the Coaching School area before knocking back the ball to an on rushing Noel outside the area who had a crack on goal but the end result saw the ball sail over bar.

One minute later Noel was on the go again when he powered his way through the centre of the field to have a low hard shot from outside the area which skidded on the wrong side of the upright.

Millwall had another attempt on goal and this time it was handed to them. Goal keeper Joseph’s poor spot kick landed to the foot of unmarked goal scorer Higgins some 25 yards from goal. Higgins had a one time go for goal but goal keeper Joseph cleaned up his error with a low dive to snatch the ball.

The Tobago team pulled a couple of attacks back towards the end of the first period. In the 42nd minute Keon Price made a great run and right sided cross into the Millwall area but his good work was erased by defender Charlie Reid who headed the ball behind for a corner.

Millwall then lost Danny Keen to the end of the half after receiving a second yellow in the period by referee Vinny Benjamin. Keen however, spent a short time on the pitch until the fourth official reminded referee Benjamin on the player’s earlier booking.

Very early into the second period Coaching School responded with a host of attacks.

In the 47th minute Ceaser turned his marker nicely on the edge before releasing his shot on goal but Millwall’s Captain Charlie Reid flung himself into the path of the ball to deny any real danger on his goal.

Four minutes later Dominique Adams made a daring run inside the Millwall penalty area but was denied by defender Jay Semper’s challenge.

Hard work then paid off for Bertille St. Clair men when Ryan Gray leveled the scores at 1-1. Gray slotted the ball past goal keeper Adam Linsey after a great buildup in the Millwall half involving Devon Leacock, Keon Price and Trevin Ceaser.

Coaching School had another great attempt when Vernon Wilson made one of his rare forward runs and thundered a shot onto the Millwall right sided upright in the 65th minute.

Two minutes afterwards Coaching School got the winning item. The goal came from the individual skill and desperation by Trevin Ceaser who powerfully ran through the Millwall midfield to have a shot that was blocked just inside the penalty area. Ceaser didn’t give up and recovered well to collect the rebound before slamming it past the oncoming Millwall goalie for the 2-1 lead in what was the goal of the night.

Ceaser boosted by his goal started to display some great skill against the English players amusing even the Millwall supporters.

A disgruntled Millwall team got back on their game and attacked with extreme force causing scares inside the Coaching School penalty area.

In the 74th minute David Amoo missed the target again after getting past defender Tyrone Walters from a play started off by substitute Freedom Piggot.

Piggot had his opportunity also in the 78th minute after doing everything right from a Noone left sided pass just outside the six yard area when he fumbled it too high.

As the match folded to the end it was Coaching School’s goal keeper Joseph who had a tough time. Joseph made a couple of great saves at the end to deny the Millwall players and to help his team hold on for the 2-1 win.

A great result for the Coaching School as they look towards Tobago United another Tobago based team in their final match of the Clico Cup on Wednesday.

Hope most people here reading this realize that St. Clair Coaching School's team most likely consist of players that are 18-23 years old. This isn't abnormal as the Coaching school system always replenishes their senior rosters with high school and high school grads.

Well done Coaching School.

Lata and enjoy de day.
