Suddenly, out of the huddle of frantic bodies, a San Juan attacker swiveled and struck the ball towards goal with an acrobatic kick that had Caps custodian Terell Leacock scrambling low to his right. In the 13th minute, a long throw came in, inducing a scramble in the Carapichaima penalty area. Long throws and corners were the tools of choice, and they almost paid dividends early on. In the sweltering heat of the first half, San Juan North unfurled a barrage of set piece weapons on Caps. CLAIR BACKLINE CRACKGopaul’s assertions were spot on too, and having only conceded nine goals so far this term-the fourth best record in the league-the pair proved to be a tricky nut to crack for the physically imposing Boyce and company. ![]() That is when you really see how those guys operate.” “Yes goals have scored on us this season but to be quite honest with ya, it’s not just the way they defend but it’s the way they communicate with the team and sometimes when we under pressure. “Jaron Pascall is a national and I feel that Brandon should be a national as well. “Our centre backs are the best centre backs in this league, and there is nobody yet to convince me otherwise,” exclaimed a proud Nicholas Gopaul, Carapichaima head coach, after the match.

The boys from San Juan welcomed backed talismanic captain Ronaldo Boyce from injury and, try as he might to unpick the hosts’ backline, central defensive pairing Jaron Pascall and opposing skipper Brandon St Clair showed that they can tussle with the best in this league. However, they resurrected their season with a 7-0 hammering of the underwhelming St Mary’s in mid-week and earned a worthy point from the high-flying ‘Caps’. Seven days ago, San Juan North were flirting with relegation after Presentation condemned them to their fourth loss in seven games. The match ebbed and flowed, each team enjoying clear-cut chances that just lacked the final finishing touch. In central, though, the nil-nil scoreline belied an interesting game. New head coach, Kerry Jameson, must be thinking about life in the Championship next season at this point.Ī reinvigorated QRC defeated the other cellar-placed team, Trinity College Moka, by 4-3 at home, with both National U-15 ace Nathaniel James and Jaheim Granderson on the scoresheet for the second time in a week. It is the second match in four days that the ‘Saints’ have shipped seven. Meanwhile, the other member of the chasing pack, St Anthony’s College, mauled St Mary’s College 7-0 to keep pace with the rest and did their goal difference no harm as well.
