Pro League football kicks off Sunday

THE 2003 season of the Trinidad and Tobago Pro League football season will kick off on Sunday with a marquee matchup between defending champs CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh and Joe Public at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya, from 4 pm.

The season was officially launched at a press conference at the VIP Lounge, Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo yesterday, with newly-appointed chairman Larry Romany revealing that emphasis will be focussed on the player rather than the coach throughout the season. An official sponsor has yet to be determined for the 10-team league, which will feature Under-15 and U-17 matches on Saturday mornings with U-20 and senior team encounters on Sunday afternoons. South West Institute of Football (SWIF) and Tobago United are the additional teams in the league, but Tobago will not feature in the U-15 and U-17 events due to travel constraints.
