Jabloteh remain in third spot in Pro League

This game was the second of back-to-back Round Two Match Day One matches at the venue.

With national coach Tom Saintfiet in attendance, Jabloteh needed 49 minutes to break the deadlock. Right-back Jevon Morris placed a ball behind the Club Sando defence and Brent Sam, on the left, was on hand to hit a left-footed shot to the roof of the net.

There was a scary moment in the 62nd, when Jabloteh’s Kennedy Hinkson was given lengthy treatment, and subsequently taken to hospital, after a collision with the post.

The utility player was pursuing an aerial ball after Jamal Gay initially headed Kion Joseph’s freekick to the path of Hinkson - who struck goalkeeper Kelvin Henry’s shoulder before the upright.

According to a C News report last night, Jabloteh’s coach Keith Jeffrey stated that Hinkson was recovering at his home from a painful jaw.

However, Club Sando offered little in attack, and their defensive mindset proved costly in the 70th minute.

Nathan Lewis sent a pass to Tyrone Charles, whose finished, via a deflection, from close range.

In the earlier meeting at Mucurapo on Friday, Morvant Caledonia United and Point Fortin Civic played to a 2-2 draw.

In a clash of the table- proppers, Jamille Boatswain netted both goals for Point Fortin, in the 34th and 46th, while Sheldon Holder (43rd) and Kareem Joseph (60th) replied for Caledonia.
