Club Sando snap Maraval victory streak

CLUB SANDO ended Maraval Youth Academy’s seven-match unbeaten run in the inaugural All Sport National Super League yesterday, with a 3-0 at the Trinity College Grounds, Moka, Maraval. With that defeat, WASA Clean and White can extend their lead in the standings to four points with a win over Crab Connection at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya, from 4pm today. Connection also need full points in today’s clash to remain in the hunt for the $25,000 jackpot. Caroni registered their third win of the season yesterday with a 7-2 thrashing of Tamana United at the Sangre Grande Recreation Grounds while Police annihilated Mayaro Spurs 8-1 at the Mayaro Recreation Grounds. BiWater Stokely Vale were due to face Defence Force in last night’s encounter at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet.

Maraval held Club Sando at bay until the 40th minute when Romeo Williams found the target. The hosts went further behind when Kevin Ollivierre got his name on the scoresheet two minutes into the second half. And Sando’s victory was complete when Ollivierre netted his second goal in the 57th minute. Caroni were in a no-nonsense mood against the winless Tamana, piling up four goals in the first half-hour through Nolan Mohammed (3rd), Quami Knights (22nd), Ahmed Mohammed (25th) and Trevon Mitchell (30th). Marvin Mohammed scored Tamana’s first goal in the 39th but Jamal Young restored Caroni’s four-goal advantage in the 58th. David Francis’ item two minutes later gave Tamana a glimmer of hope, but the visitors were not going to be denied, with Mitchell adding his second in the 80th and Ahmed Mohammed completing his double seven minutes from full time. Police’s win was never in doubt after a five-goal burst in the first half, including three from beanpole striker and captain Neri Joseph, at Mayaro. Joseph’s opener in the sixth minute was cancelled out by Beville Joseph in the 16th. But the lawmen went on the offensive, with Dwight Elliott netting in the 17th, Sean Rosal in the 32nd and captain Joseph in the 34th and 43rd. Neri Joseph notched Police’s sixth in the 71st, with a quick double from Jason Valley, in the 75th and 81st, completing the rout.
