Police FC Climb to second, Defence Force Stumble

Police FC overtook the second spot from Defence Force after winning 3-2 against AC Port of Spain on Sunday at the St James Barracks.

Police FC were already counting their three points sitting comfortably with a 3-0 lead with goals from Tyrese Bailey (35), Rakeem Cabie (72) and former youth player Juma Clarance (82). However, Kyle Bartholomew (88) and Che Benny (90+2) pulled two goals back to make the last few minutes very interesting, but it wasn’t enough.

 As of late, AC POS under the charge of inspirational midfielder Che Benny have showed grit and determination. He will unfortunately be unavailable for a few matches as he will be representing T&T in Futsal at the Caribbean Games in Guadeloupe.

Deportivo Point Fortin impressive second round display continued; they weren’t as fluent this time because they needed an injury time penalty to dethrone Central Soccer World 1-0 on Saturday night at the Arima Velodrome.

The thrilling encounter seemed to be heading for a draw until referee Crystal Sobers pointed to the penalty spot in the 90+2. Nathaniel Garcia held his nerves, stepped up and spanked it home for the 1-0 victory.
