Connection prevail at Brian Lara Rec Ground

Hector opened his account in the 20th minute before Toussaint notched his fifth goal of the season __ which took him to joint-first along with Jabloteh striker Willias Plaza and Central FC defender/ midfielder Darren Mitchell, in the 29th.

Jabloteh’s Tyrone Charles could have halved the deficit in the 52nd, when he made a good run from the left, but his right-footed shot sailed overbar. Jabloteh had a couple chances to score from a corner-kick in the 59th minute, which they failed to do, and paid dearly for it when Aikim Andrews led a counter-attack and the move was finished by Hector, who slotted his right-footed shot past goalkeeper Shemel Louison, on the second attempt. On Tuesday last, in a double-header at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Police whipped Defence Force 2-0 while Ma Pau Stars eked out a 1-0 win over Morvant Caledonia United.

The other set of Round One Match Day Eight encounters will be staged this Tuesday, with a pair of games at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin.
