Joe Public, TSTT clash in ‘Lucky’ final

THE “Eastern Lions” Joe Public will face TSTT in the final of the Lucky Bakery Eastern Football Association (EFA) tournament. Kick-off time is 3.30 pm for the decider, which is scheduled for September 28 at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya. In semi-final action on Tuesday, Joe Public advanced to the final after a 6-2 mauling of Carib at Squadron Grounds, Arouca while TSTT needed kicks-from-the-penalty spot to overcome Hearty Foods Bulls 4-2 at the Arima Municipal Stadium. Aaron Rapper and Keshan Theodore were the marksmen as the Eastern Lions went into the dressing room with a 2-0 lead.

And the Macoya-based squad went on a goal-spree in the second half, with Theodore, Shevon Noreiga, Nigel Joseph and Deon Marshall on target, with Marvin Bagoo and Billy Dee Scantlebury scoring Carib’s items. Anthony Bartlett’s second half strike for the Bulls cancelled out Joel Gibbs’ first half strike to force the match into a penalty shootout, with TSTT prevailing in the end. The league competition continues today with three matches: East West Coaching School vs Delta Glass Young Hearts at Five Rivers; Samba Xtra Malt East San Juan United vs Police FC at San Juan Secondary; JGS Maloney 2 Touch vs Hearty Foods Bulls at Maloney.
All matches start at 4.15 pm.
