Police oust Connection from Pro Bowl

The scores were locked at 1-1 at the end of regulation time, but the lawmen triumphed 3-2 in kicks from the penalty mark, in their quarter-final encounter.

Connection took the lead in the 20th minute through captain Hughtun Hector, who collected a headed pass from striker Jamal Charles and, unmarked in the penalty box, slotted a left-footed shot to the left of goalkeeper Adrian Foncette.

Police dominated the majority of play thereafter, and duly got the equaliser in the 86th. Right-back Jibri McDavid got a pass from striker Jameel Perry and squared to Christon Thomas, who slotted home from close range.

In the penalty shootout, Niquan Caruth, Thomas and Dexter Alleyne netted for Police while Kevon Goddard and Malik St Prix replied for Connection.

In the earlier game at Couva, Central FC showed no mercy on their opponents as they humiliated St Ann’s Rangers 8-0.

The semi-finals are carded to take place on Sunday while the final is set for February 19 - all at the aforementioned Couva venue.
