Central FC, Connection continue winning ways

Central FC stayed in top spot after a 2-0 victory over Morvant Caledonia United in the first of back-to-back matches at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.

Johan Peltier put Central ahead in the 64th minute while Jason Marcano put the game beyond reach of the struggling Caledonia outfit when he found the back of the net in the 87th.

At the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin, Connection consigned their hosts to a 10th defeat in 12 games, courtesy of a 4-0 result. Shackiel Henry netted twice, in the 20th and 22nd, following Daniel Diaz’s opener in the 18th. Dimitri Apai, a pint-sized Surinamese winger, completed the rout in the 80th for Connection, who stayed four points adrift of the league leaders.

San Juan Jabloteh stayed in third place, despite a 1-1 draw against Ma Pau Stars in the second game of a double- header at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo. Ex-Jabloteh forward Jerrel Britto struck for Ma Pau Stars, in the 35th, but national striker Willis Plaza levelled the scores, in the 55th.

Earlier at Mucurapo, Devorn Jorsling maintained his fine goalscoring form, taking his tally to 13 from seven games, as Defence Force brushed aside Club Sando 2-0. Jorsling got his name on the scoresheet in the 32nd and 86th.

In the latter game at Couva, Police and St Ann’s Rangers played to a 1-1 draw. Striker Jameel Perry was on target for the lawmen in the 25th but Lester Durham equalised for Rangers, in the 90th.
