ALL three games in the Eddie Hart Football League (EHFL) last weekend were drawn as action continued at the Eddie Hart Savannah (EHS) in Tacarigua.
On Saturday, Paradise FC and Bird Song Small Stars played to an entertaining two-all draw in Group C. That was the first game of a double-header, and in the second match, five-time champions Parliament FC and Trincity Nationals also finished two-all in Group B action.
And last Friday, Santos FC barely beat lively University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), coached by former Strike Squad coach Everard "Gally" Cummings, 1-0 with a late penalty.
In earlier action, defending champions MAASH International and Bon Air FC registered wins to start the new season positively.
The champs stopped a very plucky 1TTR squad 3-2 in a Group A affair in the opening fixture of a double-header at the EHS last week Tuesday, while on the same two-match card, title hopefuls Bon Air eked out a hard-fought 1-0 win over defence-minded ES Madrid in Group C action.
Coming off a big 5-0 victory over the other Defence Force team in the league—1TTR Engineering Battalion—in their campaign opener, MAASH got a goal each from skipper Stevon Stoute, who netted a beaver-trick in his team's first game, Terrence Sealey and former Parliament striker Keston Foster.
A strike from T Edwards and an own goal made up the soldiers' tally.
Like in their 2-0 win over La Horquetta FC, Bon Air wasted numerous chances before hardworking Marvin Brooks netted the game winner with less than five minutes to go. It was Madrid's second defeat in as many games. They lost 2-1 to El Do Milan in their opening fixture of the new season.
Milan were 3-1 victors over Paradise FC last week Monday.
Last Wednesday, Petit Bourg Youths secured their maiden success of this campaign when they edged South Eastern Connection FC 2-1 in Group B. Keonn John and substitute Nathan Patterson netted for Petit Bourg, who drew goalless with Trincity Nationals earlier in the week. Kwesi Luke hit the mark for South Eastern Connection FC, whose first match of the season ended in a goalless draw with Spain Slappers.
And in a Group C match-up, Pacemakers looked good in dumping goal-shy La Horquetta FC 3-1 to start their bid for end-of-season spoils on an encouraging note.
