Public aim to widen U-17 lead
THE EASTERN Lions, Joe Public, will be looking to widen their lead in the Under-17 Division as fourth round matches in the T&T Pro League continues today.
The Macoya-based lads won their three matches to date, against CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh, Defence Force and North East Stars; and will have a tricky encounter against South West Institute of Football (SWIF) at the Palo Seco Recreation Ground. But South Starworld Strikers can overtake Joe Public atop the standings if they defeat fellow unbeaten team W Connection at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.
Jabloteh will be looking for their first win of the season when they travel east to the Sangre Grande Recreation Ground to meet cellar-placed North East Stars while the struggling Army-Coast Guard combination will host Arima Fire at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo. The Starworld-Connection battle in the Under-15 category will also hold great significance as both teams are neck-and-neck at the top of the eight-team standings with six points. Under-17 fixtures will kick off at 10.30 am, with the U-15 matches beginning two hours earlier.
