With WASA FC and Real Maracas playing to yet another goalless draw, as it did in the first leg fixture, earlier this season, Joe Public, playing at the same time was able to soar to within a point at the top, with perhaps the most important match for the top two looming a week away.
Westside Superstarz, meanwhile, could not muster the same dominant victory it did on the second day of the season against newly promoted and bottom of the table Biche United, but was made to come from two goals dow to salvage a 2-2 draw.
Marvin Gooding (24th) and the team’s leading scorer Maurice Billy (45th) gave Biche a surprise 2-0 lead heading into the half time interval, before Kareem Freitas (49th) and Joel Saxon (61st) salvaged the much needed point to remain in the hunt for its first Super League crown.
Fortunately, Westside remains with a match in hand (with Club Sando) and a victory may see Westside very much back into the title challenge. In Sunday’s battle of the two Tobago clubs, Stokely Vale and 1976 FC Phoenix played to a 1-1 draw. Dario Holmes opened in the 48th minute for Phoenix, before Rundel Winchester secured a point for both teams with a quarter hour remaining in the match.
