Connection in Youth Cup finals

W CONNECTION, the champion youth team in the T&T Pro League, will be aiming for more silverware when the Trinidad and Tobago Youth Cup concludes today, at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva. The “Savonetta lads” will face Superstar Rangers in the Under-17 final from 3 pm while, two hours earlier, Joe Public will meet the La Foucade Coaching School in the Under-15 final.

Yesterday’s semi-finals were contested at Couva, with Joe Public defeating Connection 4-2 in kicks-from-the-penalty-spot after both teams were locked 1-1 at the end of regulation time. In the other Under-15 semi, the La Foucade outfit also advanced by virtue of a 4-3 scoreline in the penalty shoot-out, after both teams were goalless after full-time. Connection’s Under-17 got a double from Bevon Bass and one apiece from Devon Drayton,  Emilio Smith and national Under-17 striker Matthew Bartholomew to trounce National Flour Mills 5-0. And, Rangers whipped Mayaro 3-0 with strikes from Christian Thomas, Stephen St Louis and Makesi Lewis. Meanwhile, both Tobago and St Kitts were declared joint winners of the Girls Under-19 category.
