WASA soak Police

But Police remain atop the ten-team standings with 15 points, followed by WASA and Crab Connection on 13 each. The lawmen took the lead in the 12th minute, as Christopher Sam failed to convert a left-sided centre from Kurt Danclair, but Kevin Morang was on hand to tap the ball into the open net.

But WASA responded a minute later as Alvin Beharry chested a right-sided cross beyond the reach of Police’s goalkeeper Anthony Marshall.

The hosts widened their lead in the 19th as Marvin Joseph rammed a loose ball home after Marshall blocked a low right-footer from Strike Squad defender Marvin Faustin.

Steven Pierre saved the best for last, in the 81st, as his 30-metre left-footed bullet flew past the airborne Marshall.

The “Crabs” had the day’s biggest victory, a 5-1 hammering of Couva Players United at the San Juan Senior Comprehensive Ground. Warren Butler (tenth and 18th) and Rennie Britto (33rd and 69th) netted two goals apiece for the hosts, while Brian Wallace got the fifth goal, in the 89th. Quami Knights had Couva’s lone item in the 13th.

Ex-national defender Shurland David (21st), Dwane Charles (40th) and Jesse De Four (57th) scored a goal apiece to guide PLIPDECO Caroni to a three-nil triumph over House of Dread at Gilbert Park, Couva while Leandro Williams found the back of the net in the 34th minute as Angostura 1976 FC Phoenix defeated Defence Force FC 1-0 at Canaan, Bon Accord.

In the day’s other match, Club TSTT and MandM Harvard battled to a goalless draw at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima.
