Bottom four teams battle in Pro Bowl qualifiers

Police, which whipped Defence Force 3-1 on Saturday, maintained seventh-position and will face cellar- placed Civic in qualifier one from 6 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva today.

Two hours later at the same venue, eight-placed St Ann’s Rangers coming off Saturday’s 6-0 mauling by Central FC, will clash with ninth-positioned Morvant Caledonia.

The winners will advance into the main draw (quarterfinals) in which matchups will be determined tomorrow in a seeded draw.

Caledonia was also in losers row over the weekend. The Morvant side conceded first half goals to go down 2-0 against fourth-positioned Ma Pau Stars on Sunday at the Larry Gomes Stadium.

Former Europe-based forward and Trinidad and Tobago 2006 World Cup player Jason Scotland, netted his eighth league goal for Ma Pau on 25 minutes, before an own goal made it 2-0.

The win improved Ma Pau’s fourth position on 28 points—one point behind third-placed San Juan Jabloteh—ahead of their final league game of the season against second-positioned W Connection (43 points) next weekend. Jabloteh will face league leaders and twotime defending champions Central FC (44 points) in their final game.
