A goal on each side of the half en­sured that Ath­let­ics Club Port-of-Spain (AC PoS) main­tained the top spot in the Trinidad Group of the T&T Women’s Foot­ball League (TTWoLF) when they de­feat­ed Point Pi­o­neers 2-0 at the train­ing ground of the Man­nie Ramjohn Sta­di­um in Mara­bel­la Sat­ur­day (May 9) af­ter­noon.

​Mean­while, de­fend­ing cham­pi­on Club San­do FC could on­ly add one point to their tal­ly, mov­ing to 17 points cour­tesy of a goal­less draw with the Uni­ver­si­ty of T&T (UTT) at the train­ing ground of the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va.

Al­ready hold­ing a clear ad­van­tage over their op­po­nents, the AC Port-of-Spain women dom­i­nat­ed the match, with Emi­ly Nan­ton fir­ing them ahead for a 1-0 lead in the first half. Af­ter the break, na­tion­al strik­er Aaliyah Prince net­ted the in­sur­ance goal late in the sec­ond half.

​The re­sult pushed AC Port-of-Spain to 29 points, sev­en points ahead of their clos­est ri­vals, UTT, whose goal­less tie moved them to 22 points.

​Re­cent­ly, AC PoS coach Gilbert Bateau not­ed that his team has on­ly just start­ed to gel as a unit de­spite their strong form so far. They de­feat­ed sec­ond-placed UTT 4-0 last week at the Phase II Recre­ation Ground in La Hor­quet­ta.

​The "Cap­i­tal City Women" have been in cruise con­trol, bol­stered by sev­er­al T&T se­nior na­tion­al play­ers on their ros­ter.

“We had a few play­ers in­volved with the na­tion­al women’s team set-up, in­clud­ing Aaliyah Prince, Asha James, Shau­nalee Govia, Nao­mi Guer­ra, Aaliyah Trim, Tyan­na Williams, Nico­lette Craig, and Sum­mer Ar­joon, and in re­cent match­es they have re­al­ly worked and helped us to be at the top of the ta­ble,” stat­ed Bateau, a for­mer na­tion­al World Cup youth team tech­ni­cal staff mem­ber.
