Jabloteh want full points against Tobago

WITH the Trinidad and Tobago players returning from a three-week tour of southern Africa, teams will be fully strengthened in the seventh round of the TT Pro League today. And leaders CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh will be looking for full points against Tobago United at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima to solidify their position at the top of the 10-team table.

The defending league champs, with a tally of 16 points from six matches, will welcome back defender Nigel Daniel and midfielder Travis Mulraine to their starting line-up against a struggling Tobago outfit who have only collected two points from five matches. W Connection, the pace-setters for much of the season and now two points behind Jabloteh, will be able to include captain Reynold Carrington, as well as playmakers Kerwyn “Hardest” Jemmott and Silvio Spann for their match-up against the inconsistent North East Stars at the Sangre Grande Recreation Ground.

South Starworld Strikers have undergone an encouraging start to the season, and they can narrow the gap between themselves and the leading two with victory over newcomers South West Institute of Football (SWIF) at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella. Two other matches are on the cards, with “the Eastern Lions” Joe Public hosting Arima Fire at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya and Defence Force meeting cellar-placed Caledonia AIA at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva. All matches begin at 4 pm while the Under-20 encounters will kick off two hours earlier.
