DIRECTV W Connection followed Caledonia AIA out of the 2013/14 CONCACAF Champions League last night as the “Savonetta Boys” were eliminated from the confederation’s showpiece club competition in the group stage.

Caledonia AIA has one game left in its 2013 CONCACAF Champions League campaign and one feels the “Eastern Stallions” might prefer doing something more fun if given the choice; like maybe going to the dentist. It could not be more painful than facing the sort of spanking that Caledonia received …

Morvant/Laventille-based Pro League football club, Caledonia AIA, will try to inject some impetus into its 2013/14 season tomorrow on Wednesday September 18 when it hosts Mexican outfit, Toluca, in CONCACAF Champions League action from 8 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port of Spain.

The Suarez brothers would probably exchange text messages about Trinidad today. And there is no guarantee either will say anything that Caledonia AIA players, coaching staff and supporters would appreciate.
