Crabs inch closer to $25,000 cheque

CRAB CONNECTION moved closer to claiming the $25,000 jackpot in the inaugural All Sport National Super League when they shut out Defence Force 4-0 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.

Sheldon Thomas netted a pair for The Crabs, while Warren Butler and captain Joseph Peters scored a goal each in Tuesday night’s triumph. The Crabs need only one point from their final match against Club Sando at the same venue in the feature on tomorrow night’s “Friday Night Lime”,  to clinch the title and $25,000 prize money. Crab Connection lead the 11-team standings with 22 points from nine games, one ahead of WASA Clean & White who completed their alloted 10 matches on 21 points. Only Police who have 19 points and can reach a maximum 22 with victory over Defence Force at Chaguaramas on Saturday can deny The Crabs. At the other end of the standings, TCL Samba Boys got their first win of the series, beating Mayaro Spurs 3-0 at Brechin Castle, Caroni.
