Diminutive Duo torments defences.

San Juan Jabloteh stands alone a top the Oasis Youth TT Proleague standings with 25 points going into the second round of the League and seems to be unstoppable. (VIDEO)

The San Juan based team has swept aside all challengers and are poised to wrap up the league race early in the second round, enjoying a huge seven point lead with nine games to go.

The young ‘San Juan Kings’ have scored 34 goals in their nine games and have conceded only 4,two of those goals came in a come from behind 2-2 draw with a skillful Caledonia outfit, their only blemish to date.

Twenty-four of their goals have come from the boots of just four players, the hard working Akeem Garcia, the goal hungry Akim Andrews, the speedy Daniel Banfield and the skillful Kadeem Corbin.

The industrious Garcia and Andrews have eight goals a piece while Banfield and Corbin have scored four each.

For all their firepower up front and defensive discipline at the back it has been their style of play that has caught the eye of the football public this season. Their ability to put the ball on the ‘carpet’ and move it around the field is a sight to behold.

This is due in no small measure to their dynamic ‘Diminutive Duo’, Kadeem Corbin and Micah Lansiquoth. These two youngsters though small in stature have tormented defence after defence this season with their sublime skill and almost telepathic understanding.

When youth.ttproleague.com spoke to the two young men they had just finished helping their team edge the previously unbeaten Tobago United 1-0 at their San Juan North Secondary home ground.

Micah and Kadeem were very chatty and spoke freely about their dreams and hopes when it comes to football.

Twelve year old Micah who attends Carenage Boys Primary school said, “right now I’m just enjoying my football and hopefully I will be called up for the national under-14 team because although I’m smallie I know I’m as good as, or better than boys who are bigger that me”. “I am the new Latapy,” he joked.

Kadeem whose nickname is ‘Metro’ was quick to butt in, “I am the new Latapy I have all the skill and can score goals too,” the Petit Valley resident stated.

On his goals he said, “I want to make the national team and hopefully play in a World Cup both youth and senior” Kadeem who attends the Diego Martin North Secondary also said that he would like to help his school to ascend to championship football so he can play at intercol level, “I really would like to help my school get promoted so I could play Intercol."

As one watches the dynamic duo clown around off the field one could see why they have such a magical connection on the field.
