Rookie Trinidad and Tobago international Akeem Roach served further notice of his talent with a double strike yesterday evening as Club Sando outgunned Police FC 4-2 at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar.
The result saw Sando leapfrog Defence Force to fifth spot—albeit with a game in hand—while Police stayed seventh with just goal difference separating the “Lawmen” from St Ann’s Rangers.

Only one team this season, W Connection (47), have scored more than Police’s 32 Pro League goals. The problem is only Point Fortin Civic (56) have conceded more than their 33 goals against.
Twice, coach Richard Hood’s troops led through forward Jameel Perry and then defender Jibri McDavid. But Roach’s brace plus items from Kemuel Rivers and Kevon Piper saw Sando ease to victory.
Tomorrow’s contest between defending champions Central FC and Defence Force should be much relevant to the title chase, though. Central trail current leaders, Connection, by two points but can set that right from 6pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.
The Army/Coast Guard combination are on a three-match winless streak and should face a spritely Central outfit after the “Couva Sharks” collected three points on Saturday without the inconvenience of playing.
Table proppers Point Fortin Civic were almost an hour late for their contest against Central at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar and, as a result, the defending champions were awarded a three goal win.
It should at least be more taxing than that in Couva tomorrow for the Sharks who are aiming to become the first team in the Pro League’s history to win three consecutive league titles.

Police results was decided by the referee, Smart have issues with police or police coach, he should not be refereeing police games. He gave Club Sando a penalty for no reason and their second goal was clearly offside yet it was allowed. . Every game Smart referee with Police he gives the other team a penalty. Reporting that to the referees association is a waste of time
Police actually in a 3 way tie for second on most goals scored…but conceding is a different story…
Civic cannot be serious. It must have had flood on the main road. Wowwww..
