Stars oust Strikers from cup

NORTH EAST STARS defeated South Starworld Strikers 2-1 on aggregate to advance to the semi-final round of the FCB Cup, despite being edged 1-0 in their second-leg game.

In front of a sparse crowd at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, Arima, on Wednesday night, Maurice Jackson netted the only goal of the match for the Southerners in the 14th minute, but North East’s defence managed to hold firm until the final whistle.
