MIC Cen­tral FC Re­boot got a goal on each side of the half from mid­field­er John-Paul Rochford and Kevon "Show­time" Wood­ley, re­spec­tive­ly, in shut­ting out Ea­gles FC 2-0 and mov­ing to sec­ond in Tier I on the T&T Pre­mier Foot­ball League stand­ings.

Af­ter a fly­ing start to the league that pushed them up front ear­ly, coach Ja­son Spence's team's per­for­mance on the field dipped af­ter los­ing play­ers to in­ter­na­tion­al clubs. At the Ari­ma Velo­drome on Sat­ur­day though, they lift­ed them­selves from fourth to the sec­ond po­si­tion in the 12-team ta­ble.

Rochford fired his team ahead af­ter just the third minute and 'Show­time', who was cut from na­tion­al coach Dwight Yorke's squad for the Con­ca­caf Gold Cup and World Cup Qual­i­fiers, showed his ca­pa­bil­i­ties by seal­ing the win­ner for the Cen­tral Sharks ten min­utes from the end (80th minute).

The Sharks now trail leader De­fence Force by 12 points af­ter the Army/Coast Guard/Civil­ians com­bi­na­tion team de­feat­ed San Juan Jabloteh 3-1 on Fri­day at the Phase II Recre­ation Ground in La Hor­quet­ta to move to 39 points while main­tain­ing their un­beat­en record.

Al­so Sat­ur­day, Prison Ser­vice FC thrashed Point Fortin Civic 3-0 in the sec­ond match of a dou­ble­head­er, how­ev­er, the win could not af­fect a change in their po­si­tion on the stand­ings. Bren­don Figuera led the way for the prison of­fi­cers with a dou­ble to take the spot­light in the en­counter.

Rhon­del Gib­son, though, caused ear­ly prob­lems for the team from deep south from the penal­ty spot in the eighth minute, hand­ing Prison Ser­vice a 1-0 ad­van­tage.

Figuera pushed his team fur­ther ahead 2-0 with his open­er in the 51st minute. He then end­ed all chances the Point Fortin-based unit had of mak­ing a come­back by seal­ing the win in the 90+3 minute.

The win was on­ly the sec­ond for the prison of­fi­cers all sea­son, and with three drawn ac­counts to their cred­it, they moved to nine points but re­mained in the 10th po­si­tion.
