Caledonia out of U-15,
U-17 competitions

CALEDONIA AIA will not be participating in the TT Pro League Under-15 and Under-17 football competitions.

“The Stallions” were unable to field a team for their first round encounters against Arima Fire at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima on May 3 and, as a result, have decided not to participate at all.

And, with full points being awarded to their opponents for the no-show, the Fire lads picked up 3-0 victories by default.

Both divisions are already without Tobago United, who also decided not to compete due to travel constraints especially with the matches beginning at 8.30 am every Saturday.

Also collecting points by default was South Starworld Strikers, after North East Stars failed to turn up at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella on Saturday last. W Connection lead the Under-15 section after a 5-2 triumph over Defence Force at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva on Saturday last while the Connection’s U-17 unit also thrashed the Army-Coast Guard combination 3-0.

Joe Public are atop the standings in the Under-17 division after a 5-2 hammering of CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya. But Jabloteh Under-15s returned the favour with a 2-0 victory over the “Eastern Lions.”

J/Public will host Defence Force today at the Marvin Lee Stadium while Jabloteh will square off against South Starworld Strikers at the Hasely Crawford Sta-dium, Mucurapo.

Connection’s U-15 and U-17 squads will each pick up three points with AIA out of the fray while North East Stars will kick off their season against newcomers South West Institute of Football (SWIF) at the Sangre Grande Recreation Ground.
