Pro League football kicks off May 4

THIS season’s TT Pro League football tournament will begin on May 3 and 4.

The league was due to kick off on the weekend of April 12 and 13 but, with the national team involved in a playoffs for a spot in the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup in Martinique, from March 23-27, the season has been pushed back by a further three weeks. Ten teams will be participating in the season — reigning champs CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh, W Connection, Joe Public, Caledonia AIA, Arima Fire, Defence Force, Starworld Strikers, North East Stars and new additions Tobago United and South West Institute of Football (SWIF). The Under-15 and Under-17 matches will kick off on May 3 with the U-20 and senior divisions commencing on the following day.
