W Connection the team to beat

W CONNECTION is proving to be the team to beat in three out of four divisions at the 2003 TT Pro League.

The Southerners are atop the Under-15, Under-17 and Under-20 standings while, among the seniors, Connection lie second behind defending champs CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh. On Saturday last, Connection widened their lead to three points in the Under-15s with a 2-1 triumph over Joe Public at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva. In the other match of the morning’s double-header, Connection leap-frogged the “Eastern Lions” at the top of the Under-17 standings with a narrow 1-0 triumph. The Connection lads maintained their prolific scoring in the Under-20 department with a 6-1 battering of Joe Public on Sunday but their senior unit slipped to second spot following a 2-2 draw against their Macoya-based opponents. Jabloteh lead the senior division with 13 points, two ahead of Connection while South Starworld Strikers, under new technical director Everard “Gally” Cummings, are third on 10. Under-15 and Under-17 sixth round fixtures will be contested on Saturday while action in the seniors and Under-20s will resume on June 15.
