Jabloteh, Starworld in key tussle

LEADERS CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh will travel south to the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella to face off against the ever-improving South Starworld Strikers in the 14th round of the T&T Pro League. Five matches are scheduled today from 4 pm, with the Under-20 fixtures beginning two hours earlier. Jabloteh is the season’s lone unbeaten squad with 33 points from 13 matches, with Starworld 10 points adrift but with a match in hand. Runners-up W Connection should have little trouble in disposing of “the Stallions” Caledonia AIA at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya. Connection, with their array of talent, including George Isaac, Kerwyn Jemmott, Gefferson Goulart, Earl Jean, Kendall Davis and Arnold Dwarika, are virtually guaranteed three points against the Stallions who have struggled to gain any momentum this season.

Defence Force will try to remain within touching distance of the top three when they host “the Eastern Lions” Joe Public at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo while North East Stars will head deep south to the Palo Seco Recreation Ground to face South West Institute of Football (SWIF). And the day’s other encounter will feature the clash of the cellar-placed teams, with Arima Fire meeting Tobago United at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima.
