| JOE PUBLIC MOVE TO TOP OF SUPER LEAGUE |
|
| Joe Public moved to the top spot in the bMobile National Super League with a come-from-behind 4-2 victory over the national Under-20 team in Match Day Three action at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya on Wednesday. Trent Lougheed put the youth team ahead in the 15th minute before Keion Wilson replied for Joe Public on the stroke of half-time, bundling his right-footer from close range, via the post and the body of goalkeeper Jesse Fullerton, after the defence failed to clear a right-sided cross from substitute Randy Britto. The TT Under-20s regained the lead in the 47th when forward Jamal Clarence collected a ball from midfielder Sean De Silva, held off his marker Brent Edwards and poked the ball beyond the reach of goalie Nicholas Ferguson. But substitute Christopher Sam turned the table with a pair of goals, from close range – in the 68th he drilled his right-footer home after a run by Britto and, in the 74th, he nudged the ball into the net after Britto’s corner was relayed by both Michael Waldron and Kheon Archie. And Waldron completed the scoring in the 81st, driving home a 20-metre right-footer beyond the lunging Fullerton. Angostura 1976 FC Phoenix is now in second position after a 1-1 draw against M and M Harvard at the Hasely Crawford Stadium Training Field, Mucurapo. Glen Walker put Harvard in front after 20 minutes before veteran forward Dominique Kerr replied in the 37th. Defending champs WASA FC earned their second successive victory with a 3-1 win over Harlem Strikers at the WASA Ground, St Joseph. Michael Celestine (39th), Mervyn Brooks (90th) and Anthony Thompson (90th) were the goalscorers for WASA while Kelon Williams (90th) replied for Harlem. Economy Strikers and Club Sando registered their first victories of the season, over Defence Force and the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) respectively. Strikers traveled to the Defence Force headquarters in Chaguaramas and came away with a 2-1 win, courtesy strikes from Kerin Vincent (34th) and Kenwyn Matthew (78th), while Akil Pierre (63th) responded for the hosts. Club Sando trounced UTT 4-1 at the Apex Ground, Fyzabad, with Andy London (tenth and 11th) and Derron Matthews (35th and 44th) notching two goals apiece, while Yacoob Mustapha (15th) got the lone strike for UTT. An Crab Connection stumbled to a 2-0 defeat against St Francois Nationals after a goalless first half-time in the second scheduled match at Tunapuna. Nationals got their goals within a ten-minute period before the end of regulation time through Marlon Bowen (80th) and Garvin Gulston (90th).
