Stokelyvale miss out in Tobago

STOKELYVALE have missed a chance to go top of the table in the Warner Group of Companies-sponsored Semi-Professional Football League Premier Division of the Tobago Football Association. This after they were held to a 2-2 draw by arch-rivals Georgia at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet. Ellis St. Hillaire put Georgia ahead in Friday night’s match, but Kurt Campbell soon had The Vale back level.  And when Michael Carrington scored it appeared they were on the way to victory. But a Ryan Romeo goal late into the second session, knotted up the scores a second time. Bethel United got their first victory over the new season when they whipped Earlbrokes FC 4-2 in the earlier Friday night fixture. Joel John fired home a hat-trick and Jason Surrey got the other goal for the lads from Bethel, while Osmond Kent and Brinsley Reid got goals for Earlbrokes. Sidey’s FC also got their season first, trouncing Hope Village Milan 4-1 at the Roxborough ground on Saturday. Sylvester John stroked home a double, Hallam Bishop and Shurland Brathwaite got one apiece for Sidey’s, while Mayon Quashie got the consolation for Milan. In Sports and Games Ltd-sponsored zonal action, Stag Uprising got off the mark in their Western Conference match, edging DSX Young Hearts 1-0 with an Odel Guy goal on Saturday at the Mt Gomery Ground.

To date, St. Clair’s Coaching School striker Keon Yearwood is the leading goalscorer in the Premier Division with six to his credit, closely followed by 1976 FC Phoenix XS counterpart Selvon Turner with five.
