Connection shoot Army U-17s

FOR THE second time in the season, W Connection’s Under-17 football team made light work of their Defence Force opponents in the T&T Pro League. Following up on their 3-0 win on the season’s opening day May 3, the Southerners inflicted a 4-0 beating on the Army-Coast Guard combination at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva, on Saturday. While Connection’s Under-17s recorded their eighth straight win, the Under-15s saw their run of seven victories snapped in the first match of the double-header, with the Teteron boys holding Connection to a 1-1 draw.

The Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya, was the scene of the Joe Public-San Juan Jabloteh fixtures, with the “Eastern Lions” prevailing 2-0 in the Under-15s while Jabloteh won the Under-17s by a similar scoreline. South Starworld Strikers are third in both divisions, after 3-0 (U-15s) and 2-1 (U-17s) victories over North East Stars, who are yet to win a match this season, at the Sangre Grande Recreation Ground. And Arima Fire had a comfortable 3-1 triumph over South West Institute of Football (SWIF) in their U-15 contest at the Palo Seco Recreation Ground, while their U-17 squads battled to a 1-1 draw.
