Guaya gain ground on leaders

With new leaders Malabar FC (on goal difference) on a bye, Sando needed merely a draw to take sole possession at  the top of the standings.

And Club Sando’s Kerron Smith’s 30th minute effort seemed to have put them on the path to a victory.

But a double from Jody Allsop in the 42nd and 73rd minutes snatched the victory for Ron La Forest’s Guaya United, who gained three points and jumped to 40. Guaya are now the team to watch because they have two games in hand on the top two.

In another unexpected result, 11th placed Bethel United held fourth placed 1976 FC Phoenix to a 2-2 draw.

Makan Hislop proved the saviour as he scored a 90th minute equaliser to ensure a share of the points in the Tobago derby.

Andel Browne sent Phoenix to the front in the 12th minute before Duane Marcelle neutralised that strike for Bethel in the 32nd. Phoenix’s Dominique Kerr struck a 57th minute goal.

In other results, Siparia Spurs claimed a 2-0 victory over Westside Superstarz through goals from Andre Quashie (39th) and Shakiel Henry (60th), while WASA FC earned an identical result against FC Santa Rosa.

Jabari Raphael (79th) and Gary Glasgow (89th) were the scoerers for WASA. Meanwhile, Real Maracas earned a default 3-0 win over Stokely Vale FC.
