best intercol team .........

[Fantastic]

Allyuh young boys ain't have a clue wha allyuh talking bout. Intercol since 1985 has been heading steadily downhill. Teams were older, bigger, better back in de day. When John D and Sando Tech get throw out and dey start clamping down on man repeating 3 and 4 times, de football change. Couple top players on a team doh make dat team great. Compre 77, 78; St. Augustine 81, Sando Tech 85, signall hill, el dorado 86 was de last set of powerhouse teams. College ball in de 90's on is like wha u-16 used to be like back in de day.

[kicker]

ethan (thomas i think)

(Stewart I think)

[deltatau14]

BIG up to that.

These kind ah responses does real get on mih nerves. How you expect us to "know what we talking bout" when you can't find any trace of all these mythical matches and players anywhere?

As far as i concerned the point of this thread was for everyone to make reference to their personal memories. Not all of we was born in the age of dinosaurs where unscrupulous principals used to let big hardback men sit O and A levels just for the sake of having a good football team.

Whats the point of it all if none of these powerhouse players (Latapy and then Dwight excepted) never make it on the international scene?

As such we will continue to talk about our pissing tail teams of the 90's even those that never win ah thing but just make up an integral part of our growing experience, and we don't really give a damn if the older heads continue to shake from side to side incredulously at our ignorance...

the best in history that produce the greatest footballers -St Benedict's

[ON DE BLOCK]

De best intercol team in T&T history was Dom Basil Matthews St Benedicts under Brunner.

Warren Archibald
Steve David
Leo De Leon

was just some of de men on dah team.

Dem fellas was schoolboys and comprise more dan half of de senior mens National team.  T&T may never see the likes again...EVER.  I mehself never see dem when dey was in school....I was too young dem times but dem fellas turn out to be some a de best footballers T&T ever produce.

Others worth mentionin...

Sando Tech wit Spann and Peter Mitchell (yuh see Observer..ah gi yuh boy he props) and again later on wit Latas and Leonson

St Anthony's wit Kenwyne and dem

Malik wit Dwarika, Whitley, Lawrence and co

But nobody ever come close and more dan likely will never come close to dat Benedicts team.

Ah know it have plenty on dis forum mus be askin Warren who? etc  but allyuh need to know where yuh come from before yuh could know where yuh goin.  Is not now T&T playin football.

Palos after de 1970 black power movement it have ah school name Tranquillity which I attended in de early 70's and was cut arse for QRC /CIC / FATIMA/ TRINITY/ BELMONT/ PRES/ NAPS/ ..understand it from this point of view,black  people in dem times was fustrated, tranquil was a real trini school, boys and girls every creed an race and was truly one love no hate with all students, teachers used to give out song sheets and little flags, we also had ah white boy name Mareno who was a star in tranquil, it was this freeing up period that tranquil came to the front and no time before or after has tranquil equalled this feat, we had a huge student population, when our support came out was thousands, there was also our number one supporter ah man called ATTACK, an when he start up is pressure... plus real girls .. is thanks to tranquil the original leaders of this new intercol spirit that all them other big name schools wanted our glory, it may have been for a short period but tranquil was the best ask people who witness it, if you were to young well hard luck......

[marcus]

who remembered d game in 98 in d oval with CIC and Anthony's..Gibbons score from a corner...Anthony's win that game 4-3 after they were down 3-1.

Another big game i saw was the 95 big 8 final ( imay be incorrect) but it was between malick and Benedicts.
d Lions were up 1-0 but malick came back to win 2-1. I was in form 1 and i remember dat d benedicts winger was doung malick right back wat he want whole game. But a classic game none the less.

That game Play in Skinner Park, it was raining..... I think it was actually a replay if I remember correctly...

Reasons why I remember that game was because Cornwall had rest a clout on one of dem malick men.... Man de whole park hear dat one weee..... !Smack! over de tassa and all

u should be embarassed to even admit the ball was better because men repeat O levels 12 times just to sweat. If things hadn't change I coulda be running Intercol all now  

every generation says the same thing yet never wises up and continues to drone on about how things in their time was better. you suffering from the 'good ole days' syndrome. at least you eh come like fishs and buss some 1933 stats on us  

fishs..is kix

So Fihlo who is your team ? .....and yes Tranquil was de Best

Yeah, Mousie, Troy and Barry, ah think dat is de 3 dat played fuh de top team in de Eddie Hart league. Grimes, Stern John and Kevin Jeffery was definitely on different teams.

David Grimmes and Sheldon Brathwaite were the big players on dat squad...Colin Osbourne and ah 15 yr old Anthony Sherwood were the big players for Pres that year. ElDo and Pres were the big guns...El Do won intercol and Pres mash dem up to win the Big 7.

[fishs]

qrc neva see a side so til my squad in 2003 (devenish...simba....duff...mikail....me....aldo weyyyyyyyyyyyys rell men eh) win it .....and buss up st.anthonys .......ra ra ra ra

Sorry there my youth...QRC side in 68 went through the whole season unbeaten and had a record for least goals conceded or somethign so and the 91 side under Roderick Warner lose 2 games for the season...the first game of the year 4-3 up WestMoorings where St. Anthony's was our bogey side, and then the last game the Big 8 final against CIC(with gally coaching them) where they injure star striker Jeremy Shortt and beat us 2-1. That side was going to win everything that year but the intercol final get call off cause the next semi between arima and benedicts get call off because a war break out between them schools. That 91 side beat Dwarika Malick, Trotman's Arima, Kevin Jeffries Eldo (Stern was probably around in them days too and nobody knew him yet)...real good sides that year.

Sooo...QRC has seen many good teams through the years prior to those 2. Even the team the year before the 97 side, with Hector Sam, Vlady, white boy Martin was real good but is either Glasgow or Irasto Knights was the difference btwn them winnign the north zone and some theifing in Tobago allow Signal hill to beat them in the semis for both national titles

Ah see dat side play.
Ah remeber ah intercol game in de stadium ah tink it was against Malick.
Shortt run down de right side , cross de ball, Keno Maso blast onetime,
ball come off de crossbay guess who tuck it in ... Jeremy Shortt.
De man had rell rell pace.

 What is greatest intercol jump up yuh ever experience?

  John D vs Fatima score 3-3 '76

 Rell pan on de streets after.
Belmont fifth demension
Even Starlift sen ah small side

[Mango Chow!]

Allyuh men eh easy nuh.  dem fatima man bashin' we QRC tradition because dey get lucky last year against mucorapo.  Every generation will always have its debates against other generations, but the one thing that slippin' allyuh men wisdom is the fact that, every team will rule the roost at some point in history, for some period of time, no matter how big a period, or how small a period. PERIOD!!  Tranquil was runnin' tings in de 70's until Clauzelle and Mucorapo came and had the Biggest impact on Inter-Col that I  have ever experienced (and he only played TWO SEASONS  for Compre!) but in my opinion, that was the BEST team that I ever saw play even though John-D break meh heart in de oval and beat dem in the North Zone final ( I wasn't goin QRC yet) I even give props to the Brian Netto days of Fatima that beat a real good Tranquil side on CIC grounds that boasted a great 'keeper in Richard Hood leading their defence. Then along came the "Green Machine" then San Juan and Arima then Sando Tech and El Dorado and each of these teams at one point or another was "the team to beat" but overall the football was GREAT!! I am not trying to bash these two teams, but fatima-mucorapo last year was a poorly played game in a practically empty stadium.  that was a shame.
     Men talkin' about how back in de days, people was takin' "O" levels 12 times and ting......like men eh doin dat NOW!  Isn't Kenwyne Jones from Tobago?  How he end up playin' fuh St. Anthony's?     Dat school pullin' "Tigers" from all over de planet to play fuh dem (we might even see a Siberian Tiger run out in dey colours one day and all!!) and I eh sure they even goin' there for communion.  Don't feel bad, "Tiger" fans, Downer used to do the same thing in the 80's at St. Augustine........among many other schools.

      I have to say that us "older heads" don't necessarily offer our opinions on blind loyalty to our generation.  We don't have to.  I missed all of the football from the late 80's and beyond, but having played with Kona, Mousie, Grimes and a host of other men from THAT time I can honestly say that these were great players.  But having "endured" the Fatima-Mucorapo North Zone final at the stadium...........well, I hope that game is not a barometer of the standard throughout the nation.  If so, Inter-col in trouble!!
