St Ann’s Rangers stayed clear of the chasing pack in the Under-15 and Under-17 Divisions of the Oasis Youth Pro League with comfortable wins over T&TEC on Sunday.
In the under-15 age group, the trio of Isaiah Lopez (15th), Yevan Rajpaul (52nd) and Raheam Borde (86th) were all on target for Rangers in a come-from-behind 3-1 whipping of the “Electricity Boys” who had taken a fifth-minute lead through Christian Williams.
The win was the eighth from nine matches for Rangers to improve to 24 points, six clear of W Connection which blanked Caledonia AIA 2-0 with first-half strikes from Isaiah Garcia and Kierron Mason.
Defence Force is also on 18 but from nine matches, one more than W Connection has played after a 7-0 mauling of North East Stars led by a double from Trey Hanley.
The St Ann’s-based Rangers youngsters were more potent in the under-17 competition with Josh Toussaint scoring twice in a 5-2 thumping of T&TEC to push their points tally to 20 from nine matches, five ahead of Central FC and T&TEC.
Central FC also enjoyed an emphatic win, 5-1 over Police with Nicholas Dillon and Elijah Jennings scoring two each and Simon Joseph, the other.
However, in the Under-13 Division, Defence Force is top of the table with 24 points from nine matches after trouncing Stars 5-0 in their top-of-the-table clash with a goal each from Tiguan O’Brien, Adonjah Sullan, Joel Brown, Jea-heim Mc Fee and Tyrese Bailey. Despite the loss, Stars stayed second with 21 points.
