Starworld, Connection aim for second win
SOUTH STARWORLD Strikers and W Connection come out today for their second successive victory in the senior division of the 2003 T&T Pro League football season.
Starworld Strikers, coached by the former national captain Everard “Gally” Cummings, will make the trek north to the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo to face defending champs CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh. Starworld Strikers were 2-0 victors over North East Stars in the season opener last Sunday at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella while Jabloteh were held to a 1-1 draw by Joe Public. But Jabloteh could be without the services of former TT captain Travis Mulraine, who was sent off in the encounter at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya.
On Sunday last, Connection edged Defence Force 1-0 at the Ato Boldon Stadium and will return to the Couva venue to face “the Stallions”, Caledonia AIA, who played to a goalless draw against Arima Fire at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar in the first round. Fire will travel to the sister isle to meet Tobago United at the Bon Accord Recreation Facility. Tobago United will field a team which includes the recently-signed trio from St Kitts —- Floyd Hodge, Ian Lake and Alister Warner. And the other second round matchup features North East Stars and debutants South West Institute of Football (SWIF) at the Sangre Grande Recreation Ground. All senior matches will kick off at 4 pm with the U-20 fixtures starting at 2 pm.
