Angus Eve hit the surface running as new Club Sando Under-18 coach, steering the young Oranges to a 3-0 win over Police FC at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training ground in Marabella on Sunday, the opening day of the 2018 Flow Youth Pro League season.

Nikel Rawlins opened the scoring after just five minutes before a second half quick-fire double from Isa Bramble in the 54th and 56th minutes made sure of full points for Eve’s side against Police.

“I thought that Police (U18s) were well-organised but we were also organised and were able to be more effective in our ball movement and created more chances,” said Eve, who is also Sando’s first team coach.

“Although they (Police U18s) played well, I believe we could have had more goals. It was a good level of team performance by our players and encouragement going forward.”

Eve heaped praise on team captain Kodel Frontin, Daniel Lake, Ronaldo Mc Intosh, Dillon Yearwood, “influential midfielder” Nickel Rawlins and double-scorer Bramble who he said worked tirelessly throughout against a Police U18 side that had first team coach Richard Hood on their side lines.

“It augurs well for the players’ development to see (senior) Pro League coaches and staff working with the younger players in the Youth Pro League as I am doing now with Sando,” ended Eve.

Sando, though, had to settle for a point against the Blues in both the Under-14 and Under-16 divisions with the U14s, coached by Wayne Caesar, playing to a 1-1 draw after Anthony Williams levelled Police’s early lead through Jovonn Gomes before the U16s, coached by Keon Trim, battled to a 0-0 stalemate against the visitors.

Eve’s ex-club and reigning triple-triple champions San Juan Jabloteh were the only club to post wins in all three divisions through play yesterday while W Connection and St. Ann’s Rangers did so by virtue of wins by default over North East Stars and Central FC respectively.

Jabloteh, who achieved the extraordinary record of a third straight sweep of all three divisions in the FYPL last season, came from behind to defeat Defence Force 3-1 in the U14s at Trinity College East, then enjoyed a 3-0 win in the U16 division with Nathaniel James, who banged in a monstrous record-achieving 40 goals last season, scoring his team’s third and final goal.

Trevin Moore later scored five minutes from time to complete Jabloteh’s perfect day with a narrow 1-0 win over Defence Force in the U18 division at the Trincity venue.

Jabloteh will host Morvant Caledonia United next Sunday at San Juan North Secondary, while Club Sando must visit W Connection at the Ato Boldon Stadium main field.

W Connection picked up all three wins against North East Stars without a kick of the ball while Rangers, who defeated Central 3-1 in the U14s and 1-0 in the U16s, picked up their U18 win by default.

In other opening day results Morvant Caledonia defeated Point Fortin Civic 4-2 in the U14 division at Barataria Oval but surrendered full points to the southerners by default.
