Trinidad & Tobago’s Digicel Pro League Champions Defence Force made light work of Milerock on Sunday night at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground, Linden, with a comfortable 4-0 win in their first leg clash of the Caribbean Football Union Club Championship second round.
Veteran player Michael Edwards scored his second double of this season’s Club Championship with second half goals in the 65th and 75th minutes following first half strikes by Kerry Joseph (7th minute) and Richard Roy (35th minute) against the Guyana GFF Super League second-place team which included former Pro League standouts Collie Hercules and Kayode McKinnon.
Joseph scored his other double against Bermudan side Dandy Town Hornets in the first round of the CFU Club Championship.
The comfortable away win on Sunday puts the Ross Russell coached Defence Force in the driver’s seat with the return leg set for April 22 at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva, Trinidad.
Also on April 22, fellow TT Pro League club Caledonia AIA, like Milerock, making its CFU debut this season, will contest Tempete of Haiti in their second-round first-leg match as part of a double-header with the return set for May 7 in Haiti.
The winners of the second round home and away series will advance to the semi-final round in T&T from May 25 with the final and third-place games set for four days later.
The semifinal winners and third placed club will qualify for the 2011-2012 CONCACAF Champions League.
In the other second-round home and away series, Puerto Rico Islanders begin defence of their title on April 23 at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon against Suriname’s Walking Boyz, while Guyana GFF Super League champs Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United will play River Plate FC of Puerto Rico on Friday, April 15 at the National Stadium and Sunday at the GCC.
