Kevon Woodley banged in a second-half double to lead Club Sando to a 5-1 thrashing of Siparia Spurs in their top-of-the-table Group A “Big Eight” match to climb to within a point of T&T Football Association National Super League crown on Sunday.
Devon Modeste opened the scoring for Club Sando in the 29th minute at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella for a 1-0 half-time lead before Woodley netted a quick brace, in the 55th and 62nd to put the match beyond doubt.
Former national youth player Jack Weedon extended the lead to 4-0 in the 86th while Kerwin Baptiste pulled one back for Spurs in the 89th, only for Keith Williams to net a fifth for Club Sando on the stroke of full-time.
The win lifted Club Sando to maximum 15 points from five matches, five more than Suprs and Defence Force with two matches left for each club.
Defence Force kept its faint hopes alive with a 2-0 blanking of WASA thanks to goals from Jamal Goodridge and Michael Edwards while in the other matches, Aaron Ballantyne’s treble led La Horquetta past Guaya United 5-4, and Petrotrin Palo Seco drew goalless with 1976 FC Phoenix.
