Usually dominant in the opening games of the Caribbean Football Union Club Championship, the clubs from Trinidad got off to a slow start this week on the road. Defence Force opened with a 1-1 draw against the Dandy Town Hornets and Caledonia AIA were only able to register a 1-0 victory versus Newtown United.
In other action, Walking Boyz cruised to a 3-0 victory with two strikes in the first half on the road and the third four minutes into the second stanza against host Northern United. Poised to move on with a three-goal lead heading home, Walking Boyz would next face the deending CFU champion and three time CONCACAF Champions League participant Puerto Rico Islanders in the next round. The Islanders were the lone club seeded directly into Second Round.
Another series saw Inter Moengotapoe take a 1-0 lead on the road against Milerock, leaving the home clubs winless through the first legs of the four series.
The fifth series featuring River Plate Puerto Rico, which recently announced its roster, and Bodden Town is being held entirely in the Cayman Islands due to stadium availability and will not kick off until March 18 with the second leg two days later.
