Fresh off a narrow win on Sunday, league leader WASA FC will return to action today against another winless team, Bethel United, in an away fixture carded to play at Plymouth Recreation Ground, Tobago, in one of eight TTFA Natioanl Super League matches. That match will kick off at 5 pm.
Today marks only the second match day that an entire round of matches is scheduled to be played. Since the start of the season all but one other round was affected by difficulties securing flights for teams traveling to and from Tobago. In fact, only two teams, WASA FC and Joe Public FC, which sits rock bottom has played all their scheduled matches. Tobago's 1976 FC Phoenix, meanwhile, has played the least number of matches–just once this season.
WASA, which extended its lead at the top of the table to four points over Petrotrin Palo Seco, following a 1-0 win over Real Maracas over the weekend, meets a Bethel United team which sits joint-bottom with just one point after three matches.
Meanwhile, Petrotrin, which played unbeaten after five matches (three wins, two draws and no losses), will host D'Lime Bar Goal City FC, from Tobago, at the Palo Seco Velodrome, from 4 pm. And, last season's league runner-up Club Sando, which sits third with ten points over Siparia Spurs on goal difference, will welcome 1976 FC Phoenix at Guaracara Park, Point-a-Pierre, 4 pm, in the latter team's second match of the season.
