In a significant legal ruling, Central FC has been mandated to compensate former head coach Terry Fenwick for the bonus he earned by leading the club to victory in the 2015 TT Pro League. The High Court, presided over by Justice Robin Mohammed, issued a consent order on September 22, resolving the long-standing dispute between Fenwick, the club, and former director Brent Sancho. The case, initiated in 2020 by Fenwick’s legal team, sought the release of his contractual bonus, which was contingent on the club’s league triumph. Despite Central FC securing the $870,000 prize money in October 2016, Fenwick’s share remained unpaid. Represented by attorney Peter Carter, Fenwick argued that the club had failed to honor its obligations. Carter noted that the consent order signifies Central FC’s acknowledgment of liability, with payments commencing on October 1 and set to continue monthly until the full amount is settled. Fenwick, who previously coached Central FC during the 2013-2014 season, briefly managed Belgian club CS Vise before returning to lead Central FC to Pro League glory in 2015. While the club was not represented by an attorney during the hearing, a director was present and willing to reach a compromise.

Henry, Spicer filled with pride after scoring maiden Trinidad and Tobago goals
In a commanding performance, Trinidad and Tobago secured a 3-0 victory against Bermuda in the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifier at the Bermuda National Stadium on October 10. The match marked a significant milestone for two of Trinidad and Tobago’s rising stars, Tyrese Spicer and Kobi Henry, who both scored their first international goals. Spicer, a dynamic winger, netted the second goal in the 30th minute after dispossessing Bermuda’s Justin Donawa, while Henry, a central defender, sealed the win with a goal in the 49th minute. Dante Sealy had earlier opened the scoring, with his free-kick saved but leading to Henry’s decisive strike. Both Spicer and Henry have quickly become integral to the team since their debuts earlier this year. Spicer, 24, has been a consistent threat on the left flank, while Henry, 21, has impressed with his defensive prowess and composure. The victory lifted Trinidad and Tobago to four points in Group B of the Concacaf final round, trailing behind leaders Curacao, who defeated Jamaica 2-0 on the same day. Looking ahead, Spicer emphasized the importance of their upcoming match against Curacao on October 14, describing it as a ‘massive game’ that will test their resolve. Henry echoed this sentiment, expressing confidence in the team’s ability to handle high-pressure situations. The win not only bolstered Trinidad and Tobago’s World Cup qualifying campaign but also showcased the emergence of a new generation of talent ready to make their mark on the international stage.

TOOTHLESS!
In a dramatic turn of events at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad, Curacao delivered a stunning 2-0 victory over Jamaica in the Concacaf World Cup Qualifying final round on Friday night. This defeat marks Jamaica’s first loss in the campaign, leaving the Reggae Boyz in a precarious position in Group B. Curacao’s goals, courtesy of Livano Comenencia and Kenji Gorre, propelled them to the top of the group with seven points, overtaking Jamaica, who now trail with six points. With only the group winner guaranteed a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Jamaica’s fate now hinges on Curacao dropping points in their remaining matches, including the return fixture in Jamaica. The Reggae Boyz must also fend off Trinidad and Tobago, who climbed to third place with a 3-0 win over Bermuda. The match saw Curacao dominate early, with Comenencia’s 25-yard strike in the 14th minute setting the tone. Despite Jamaica’s efforts, including near-misses from Tyreece Campbell and Jon Russell, Curacao’s defense held firm. Gorre’s spectacular goal in the 67th minute sealed the victory, leaving Jamaica’s late VAR-overturned goal by Richard King as a mere consolation. The Reggae Boyz now face a must-win clash against Bermuda on Tuesday, while Curacao prepares to host Trinidad and Tobago in their next fixture.

Determined Devine leads New Zealand to crushing win over Bangladesh
In a commanding display of skill and determination, New Zealand’s cricket team secured their first victory at the Women’s World Cup, defeating Bangladesh by a resounding 100 runs in Guwahati on Friday. The Kiwis, led by their inspirational captain Sophie Devine, finally found their rhythm after a rocky start to the tournament. Devine, who has been in stellar form, played a pivotal role with a gritty 63 off 85 balls, anchoring the innings and setting the stage for a competitive total. Her partnership of 112 runs with Brooke Halliday, who top-scored with 69, proved crucial in turning the tide for New Zealand. Despite early setbacks, including a brief pause for Devine to manage her Type 1 diabetes, the team rallied to post a formidable score. Bangladesh’s response faltered from the outset, with their top order collapsing under pressure from New Zealand’s bowlers, particularly Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu, who claimed three wickets each. The victory propels New Zealand to fifth place in the eight-team table, keeping their semi-final hopes alive. The team now looks ahead to their upcoming matches in Colombo and Bombay, aiming to build on this momentum. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s captain Nigar Sultana acknowledged the need for her top order to step up as they prepare to face tougher opponents in the remaining fixtures.

West Indies endure ‘tough’ start to 2nd Test vs India
In a commanding display of batting prowess, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten 173 propelled India to a dominant position on the opening day of the second Test against West Indies at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. The hosts concluded the day at 318-2, firmly in control of the match as they aim to secure a series sweep. Jaiswal, the left-handed opener, showcased a masterful blend of patience and aggression, striking 22 boundaries in his 253-ball innings. His marathon 193-run partnership with Sai Sudharsan (87) laid the foundation for India’s imposing total. Sudharsan’s dismissal in the final session was the only setback for India, as Jaiswal and skipper Shubman Gill (20*) steered the team to stumps without further loss. Jaiswal’s performance marked his fifth 150-plus score in Test cricket and his seventh century in just 26 matches, cementing his reputation as one of India’s most promising young talents. The 23-year-old, who debuted with a 171 against West Indies in 2023, celebrated his century with a heartfelt gesture to the enthusiastic crowd. West Indies’ bowlers struggled to contain the Indian batsmen, with assistant coach Floyd Reifer acknowledging the challenging day. India’s strong start, led by Jaiswal and KL Rahul (38), set the tone for their dominance. The visitors, led by Roston Chase, face an uphill battle to avoid another Test whitewash after their recent 0-3 defeat to Australia.
