Champs Connection win 3-0

The Savonetta Boys enjoyed total domination of the match as expected and were rewarded early when striker Kendall Davis fired them into the lead on the stroke of half-time (45th minute).

Four minutes after the resumption Davis added his second of the match when he beat the Petrotrin custodian in the 49th for a two-goal team cushion, before veteran striker, St Lucian Earl Jean sealed the victory in the 74th minute.

Trinidad and Tobago midfielder Otis Whitley made his presence felt for CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh against San Fernando Starworld Strikers at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.

Whitley who will represent the Soca Warriors at the upcoming World Cup Finals in Germany, scored the lone item of the match in the 66th minute.

His strike killed all chances Starworld had of securing a point on their return to the Pro League.

At the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima Caledonia AIA also opened their T&T Pro League campaign with a win over the Defence Force.

Coach Jamaal Shabazz’s men emerged the victors when Jason Cudjoe fired home the lone item in the 39th minute.

The Army-Coast guard combination searched desperately for an equaliser with a series of attempts thereafter, but to no avail.

And at the Dwight Yorke Stadium in the sister isle of Tobago, newcomers Superstar Rangers picked up three valuable points and a morale booster after they defeated the home team, Tobago United 2-0 in their very first match in the T&T Pro League. Rangers coach Richard Fakoory said yesterday the win was even sweeter since they lost their coach Errol Mc Farlane just four days before the match.

Former Jabloteh and Queen’s Park coach Anthony Streete replaced Mc Farlane who pulled out of Rangers following differences of opinion with the team management.

After a goalless first half, Marlon Bowen gave Rangers the lead in the 50th minute and Kelvin Williams ensured the win with a well-taken goal in the 73rd minute.
