Defence Force, the reigning champions of the Trinidad and Tobago Premier Football League (TTPFL), are set to continue their 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup journey as they face Jamaica’s Mount Pleasant Football Academy in the semifinal’s first leg. The match will take place at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo on October 22 at 6 pm, with the return leg scheduled for October 29 in Jamaica. Defence Force secured their spot in the semifinals by finishing second in Group B, narrowly edging out Weymouth Wales FC on goal difference. Key players like captain Kevin Molino and midfielder Cassim Kellar, both named to the Caribbean Cup’s Best XI, will be crucial in this high-stakes encounter. Mount Pleasant, on the other hand, topped Group A with a flawless record, including a dominant 2-0 victory over MIC Central FC Reboot in Mucurapo last month. Defence Force will also welcome back striker Isaiah Leacock and Tobago playmaker Adriel George, adding depth to their squad. However, they will miss right-back Isaiah Garcia due to yellow card accumulation. Under the leadership of interim coach Devorn Jorsling, Defence Force aims to overcome Mount Pleasant’s near-perfect form and advance to the final.
