CFU unveils Club Championship fixtures, Connection to host Group 2 in Trinidad but Central must travel to Guyana for Group 1

Reigning Digicel Pro League champions W Connection and current league leaders Central FC will head separate routes in the group stage of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship 2015, which serves as the qualifier tournament for the CONCACAF Champions League.

Fifteen (15) amateur and professional clubs from the CFU are separated into four (4) groups but the two Pro League rivals could cross paths in the semi-final stage if they advance out of the group stage.

The Group stage will be contested between April 15 – 19, while the semi-final and final round will be contested between April 22-24 to decide the Caribbean Club champions and to determine three Caribbean berths at the 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League.

Connection, three-time Caribbean Club Champions (2001, 2002 & 2009) and seven-time finalists, will host Antigua and Barbuda champions SAP FC, Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC and Guyana Defence Force to make up Group 2 in Trinidad.

While Central, last season's DPL second place finishers, will debut at the CCL in Group 1, hosted in Guyana, and includes home team and Guyana National Super League champions Alpha United and Suriname’s powerhouse Inter Moengotapoe.

Inter Moengotapoe have won the Surinamese Voetbal Bond's Hoofdklasse – the country's top league – 6 times in the last eight seasons, while Alpha United have won five GFF NSL titles in recent years.

In 2011 Alpha defeated Trinidad and Tobago’s Defence Force in the third place play-off of the Caribbean Club Championship to create history as the first ever Guyanese club to earn a CCL berth.

Alpha United, Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC and Puerto Rico’s Bayamon FC represented the CFU in the Group stage of the current CCL after progressing out of last season’s Caribbean Club Championship ahead of Trinidad and Tobago clubs Defence Force and Caledonia AIA.

Trinidad and Tobago was last represented by W Connection and Caledonia in the 2013-2014 CCL.

Haiti meanwhile will host Group 3 and 4 of this season’s Caribbean Club Championship.

Haiti league (opening stage) champions America FC, Jamaica champions Montego Bay United, SV Excelsior of Suriname, and Club Sportif Moulien of Guadeloupe are pooled in Group 3.

While Haiti league (second stage) champions Don Bosco FC, Helenites Sporting Club of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Unite Sainte Rose of Guadeloupe and Lyford Cay FC of Bahamas make up Group 4.

The winning team from each group will advance to the semi-final round with the winners of Group 1 and 2 to contest semi-final one, and the winners of Group 3 and 4 to contest semi-final two.

Both head coaches of W Connection and Central FC expressed their confidence of winning a place in the 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League while attempting to capture the Caribbean crown.

“I am confident that we will play well,” said Central FC head coach Zoran Vranes. “I am satisfied [with the draw]. I think we have good chance. We expect to advance of course. We are strong enough to get past the group stage but it is definitely a challenge with the [domestic] league and competitions. We have guys who we can rotate so others can get rest because it's really tough to play three games in one week without rest. But it's the same for everybody so the team that are better prepared, and who are better, will succeed.”

Connection longstanding and very successful coach Stuart Charles Fevrier, who is no stranger to the Caribbean Club Championship and the CONCACAF Champions League, said the main goal is to qualify for the CCL for the club and by extension Trinidad and Tobago.

“To qualify you must play the best teams in the Caribbean,” the Connection coach said. “So whoever we play isn't really important to me. It's just that we need to really prepare well for the CFU because we want to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League.

“I think we are capable. We have a good squad although it's a young squad. We have confidence in our squad and our objective is to qualify for CONCACAF not only for our club but for Trinidad and Tobago also.

“We would like to win the [CFU crown] but our main objective is to qualify for CONCACAF because the last time around no team from Trinidad (and Tobago) were able to qualify. We definitely want to get back to where we were as a country and as a league. We always had teams playing in the CONCACAF Champions League and we want to represent the country and by extension the league,” ended Fevrier.

Sharks hoping to bite in Guyana.
Central F.C. Media Press Release.

Central F.C. spokesman, Kevin Jeffrey said “Of course, any game at this level will have its challenges, but the team is confident of winning through to the final round.”

The final round will be played between 20th and 24th May at a venue to be decided, with the winners from each of the four groups competing for three CONCACAF Champions League places.

“Strangely, it will be harder to qualify for the final round than qualify for CONCACAF” said Jeffrey “In the final round you can lose a game and still qualify in the 3rd place play off, but in the group stage, a loss will almost certainly mean you will not progress.”

The California based club will be travelling with a full squad and every player is Trinidadian. “We have to focus on our next Pro League game against Point Fortin on April 24th” explained Jeffrey “One or two players are carrying slight injuries so we will leave them at home to recuperate ready for the Point Fortin game.”

One more Pro League victory will almost certainly see the league title go to Central F.C. for the first time as they currently have a 6 point lead over second place W.Connection who have a game in hand. However, Central have a goal difference of plus 14 over Connection.

“It’s a good position to be in with two games remaining” said Jeffrey, who pointed out that this is only the clubs third season since it was formed. “The squad we will carry is full of experience and goals, so we know that we will be tough opposition in Guyana. But most importantly, this is a great experience for the players and the club and will stand us in good stead for next year’s Caribbean Cup which we have already qualified for.”

Meanwhile, the Central F.C. staff and players who remain in T&T will have a busy week.

We will be holding try outs for our women’s team this week and more info can be obtained on the Central F.C. Fan Club facebook page. Some of our players will also be visiting schools in the Central region this week to promote the Central F.C. Chuck E. Cheese coaching school which will be taking place at Lange Park on Saturday mornings starting in May.”

Live match updates of both of Central F.C.’s games in Guyana will be available on the Central F.c. Fan Club facebook page from 4pm on the 17th & 19th April.

Central F.C. squad for Guyana: Jan-Michael Williams, Elton John, Kevon Villaroel, Akeem Benjamin, Leston Paul, Jason Marcano, Sean de Silva, Marvin Oliver, Darren Mitchell, Jamal Jack, Kaydion Gabriel, Keion Goodridge, Javon Sample, Marcelle Francois, Nathaniel Garcia, Willis Plaza, Ataullah Guerra and Dwight Quintero.

Waterhouse head for CFU Club Champs in T&T
BY HURBUN WILLIAMS Observer writer

A highly motivated 18-man Waterhouse FC squad, headed by striker Jermaine 'Tuffy' Anderson, will travel to Trinidad and Tobago where the team will participate in the 2015 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship, which begins tomorrow.

Some members of the squad are scheduled to depart Jamaica today, while a second and final set is expected to leave tomorrow for the twin-island republic.

Waterhouse, competing in Group Two of the preliminary round, will have little time to settle. They open against Antigua & Barbuda's SAP FC on the opening day at the Ato Boldon Stadium. Team Manager Keith Sailsman said the core of the squad will leave in the first batch.

DirectTV W Connection FC (T&T) and Guyana Defence Force (Guyana) are the other teams competing in the group.

It is the second season in succession that Waterhouse are competing in the CFU Club Championship. Last season's successful run saw them progressing to the CONCACAF Club Championship, where they performed creditably before being eliminated. Club captain and national goalkeeper Richard McCallum is looking for another positive showing and says there is the determination to go even a step further.

"Last year, for the CFU Club Championship, we went into the tournament very focused, well prepared with an intention to do well. What aided us was that most clubs in the region apparently did not know much about us in terms of competing effectively at that level. So we went in as the underdogs.

"This year, we are going in just as focused, but the level of [financial] support we had last year is missing this year. Nonetheless, our intention is to do just as good as we did last year, and hopefully we can take it much further," he said.

McCallum was asked to give the reason for his optimistic view.

"We have been doing a lot of preparatory work for the past three or four weeks with our coaches and physical trainers as well," he explained

A total of 15 clubs from across the CFU region will take part in the tournament. The group winners will advance to the final phase.

All matches in the four preliminary round groups will be played between April 15 and 20 April, while the final round is scheduled for May 20-25 in a straight knockout format. The winners will be crowned 2015 Caribbean champions. The top three teams at the CFU Club Championship will secure berths to the CONCACAF Champions League.

Group One -- Alpha United FC (Guy), Central FC (Tri), Inter Moengotapoe (Sur).

Group Two -- DirectTV W Connection FC (Tri), SAP FC (Atg), Guyana Defence Force (Guy), Waterhouse FC (Jam).

Group Three -- America FC (Hai), Montego Bay United FC (Jam), SV Excelsior (Sur), Club Sportif (Glp).

Group Four -- Don Bosco FC de Petion Ville (Hai), Helenites Sporting Club (Vir), Unite Sainte Rose (Glp), Lyford Cay FC (Bah).

Waterhouse contingent -- Keith Sailsman (head of delegation/manager); Anthony Patrick and Christopher Bender (coaches); Dr Romayne Edwards (physician); Chris Paul (physical trainer); Glenford Anderson (equipment manager).

Squad: Richard McCallum, George Brown, Nicholy Finlayson, Rohan Amos, Hughan Gray, Damarley Samuels, Evan Taylor, Jomoly Powell, Adoah Nickle, Tremaine Stewart, Andre Messam, DeAndre Brown, Omar Walcott, Oshane Roberts, Romario Campbell, Andre Leslie, Steffan Logan, Jermaine Anderson.

Injury rules Bentick of Central FC's CCL qualifiers.
ttproleague.com.

Central FC head coach Terry Fenwick must do without the services of former Trinidad and Tobago Under-20 World Cup defender, Uriah Bentick, when the “Couva Sharks” contest the Group stage of the 2015 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship, which serves as the qualifier tournament for the CONCACAF Champions League.

The 26-year-old Bentick picked up a knee (ligament) injury during a training session last week, forcing Fenwick to summon 27-year-old Kevon Villaroel, who has Caribbean Club Championship and CONCACAF Champions League experience with ex-employers Puerto Rico Islanders of the North American Soccer League (NASL).

Villaroel completed the Central FC 18-man squad, which includes goalkeepers Jan-Michael Williams and Javon Sample; defenders Akeem Benjamin, Kaydion Gabriel, Keion Goodridge, Marcelle Francois and Elton John; midfielders Marvin Oliver, Jamal Jack, Nathaniel Garcia, Jason Marcano, Ataulla Guerra, Sean de Silva, Leston Paul and Darren Mitchell; and forwards Willis Plaza and Dwight Quintero.

Fenwick, who only returned as Central coach last month in a shock move by the club to shift Serbian Zoran Vranes into the role of technical director, said, “The 18 (players) that I am taking are a work in progress. Our players are lacking in fitness and there is a divide in their working as a team. I am not just about having two or three players standing out. We need a much more rounded team performance. It’s also about getting team spirit and performance up, so that we do well.”

Central, making their debut at the CFU Club Championship, must travel to Guyana in Group 1 and will face Suriname powerhouse Inter Moengotapoe on 17 April and host team Alpha United on 19 April at Providence Stadium. Alpha and Inter Moengotapoe will meet in the opening group match on 15 April.

Central qualified for the CFU Club Championship by finishing as runners-up in last season’s Digicel Pro League championship behind champions DIRECTV W Connection, who will host Group 2 of the 2015 CFU Club Championship in Trinidad at the Ato Boldon Stadium. Both Central and Connection – already caging the top two positions in the ongoing 2014-2015 DPL – have also qualified for the 2016 CFU Club Championship.

Connection, three-time CFU Club champions, will host Guyana Defence Force on 15 April, Antigua & Barbuda’s SAP FC on 17 April and Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC on 19 April.

Haiti meanwhile, will host Groups 3 and 4. (See full Group stage schedule and times below)

The semi-final and final rounds will be contested between May 22-24 to decide the Caribbean Club Champions and determine the three Caribbean berths at the 2015-2016 CONCACAF Champions League.

Central will travel to Guyana on Tuesday and will be based at the Windjammer International Cuisine and Comfort Inn in Georgetown for the duration of the Group stage.

Fenwick, who has ample experience at the Caribbean and CONCACAF tournaments during his time as coach of San Juan Jabloteh, said he is very cautious of his opponents such as Alpha United who strengthen up for such tournaments as the CFU Club Championship.

But the Central FC coach said that arriving in Guyana on Tuesday prior to their opening match on Friday and being able to witness the opening match between host team Alpha United and Suriname’s Inter Moengotapoe on Wednesday, allows him the opportunity to get a better understanding of his opponents.

“It (the schedule) worked out very well in that aspect where we get to actually see the opponents before we actually meet them,” ended Fenwick.

Following the Caribbean Club Championship Group stage, Fenwick and Central must quickly refocus on the Digicel Pro League championship, where the league leaders are hoping to stay ahead of defending champions and second-placed W Connection to win the title for the first time in only their three years of existence.

And with Central’s foreign nationals: Guyana national team goalkeeper Akel Clarke, Jamaican international Upston Edwards, Liberian midfielder Borfor Carr and Ghanaian forward Michael Yaw Darko left behind, managing director, Kevin Harrison, said it has balanced out well for the club with the focus also on the domestic league crown.

This yr is big. Gonna be very interesting to see how the T&T clubs perform at home & away from home in hostile territory against host countries that are desperate to make a little impact in Concacaf. Football can deliver some countries who are on the brink of failed state status. Right now Central FC and W Connection are the most appropriate, best equipped to take on a serious challenge to go far. This has North East Stars, Defense Force & Jabloteh, Civic and someday Sando extremely hungry and feeling the pressure to emulate and taste the potentially good spin off benefits of playing in Concacaf. Good luck fellahs. Play yuh heart out.

"Assistant Minister" FS could you ask Minister Sancho to do something to help fan awareness of the club championship games. This is warrr and the 12th man is important.

Group II of the Caribbean Football Union's Club Championship Tournament which is scheduled to begin this evening faced some challenges prior to its start.

Hosted by DIRECTV W Connection FC at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva, the matches were scheduled to begin at 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm respectively, with the first match between SAP FC of Antigua and Waterhouse FC of Jamacia, and the second match between the local hosts and the Guyana Defence Force.

The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) has advised that the schedule 5:30 pm match between SAP FC of Antigua and Waterhouse FC of Jamaica has been cancelled as the Jamaican contingent has not yet arrived in Trinidad and Tobago. The second match will take place at 8:00pm.

HALF-TIME at the Ato Boldon Stadium: W-Connection 5-0 Guyana Defence Force. Goals by Akeem Garcia (16’), Shahdon Winchester (23’, 28’), Hashim Arcia (35’), Jerrel Britto (43’). In Group 4 action, Don Bosco (Haiti) defeated Lyford Cay (Bahamas) 10-0 tonight. The way W-Connection are going, we may see a repeat of that scoreline.

Congrats W Connection.
Allyuh bringing back pride to the faces of the posters
Showing these upstart competitors that T&T eh playing when T&T says they in a different weight category
Sorry not a fully clean sheet though. Try to conquer the Caribbean fellahs, earn some money for the clubs
and then hopefullly advance further to test Conccaf. Central FC, over to you now. We looking to take champ & runner up spot in Concacaf
So let Shabazz know that if he wants to go invest in Guyana, go right ahead, is his lorse not T&T's.

Happy for the win. But the real test at least from the Caribbean level will come against the Jamaican clubs.

This yr is big. Gonna be very interesting to see how the T&T clubs perform at home & away from home in hostile territory against host countries that are desperate to make a little impact in Concacaf. Football can deliver some countries who are on the brink of failed state status. Right now Central FC and W Connection are the most appropriate, best equipped to take on a serious challenge to go far. This has North East Stars, Defense Force & Jabloteh, Civic and someday Sando extremely hungry and feeling the pressure to emulate and taste the potentially good spin off benefits of playing in Concacaf. Good luck fellahs. Play yuh heart out.

"Assistant Minister" FS could you ask Minister Sancho to do something to help fan awareness of the club championship games. This is warrr and the 12th man is important.

There were travel packages posted on Facebook. I know of several people coming over. In addition, Bankers Insurance paid for the flights for a couple of our supporters as well as top sport photographer, Allan V Crane.

At yesterdays game, the Guyanese supporters were quite hostile towards Alpha until they scored. I imagine there will be around 3,000 at Sundays game and I imagine the atmosphere will be a bit intimidating for Central players. However, 3 Central supporters singing through the game should quieten down the home fans lol I just hope we get out in one piece once we win!!
