CLICO San Juan Jabloteh will be seeking to do far better than last season when they take on Defence Force from seven o'clock tonight in the second match of a Courts Pro Bowl quarter-final double-header at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar.

Champions in 2004 and 2005, Jabloteh were knocked out at the same stage last year by eventual winners Vibe CT 105 W Connection.

Should they get past the Army-Coast Guard combination, they will set up another showdown with W Connection, who easily beat North East Stars by a 4-0 margin in their quarter-final on Friday night.

In the opening game at Malabar this evening, Neal & Massy Caledonia AIA are fancied to see off qualifiers St Ann's Rangers. But that match may yet turn out much closer than expected.

Rangers are struggling in the 2008 T&T Pro League, but fought W Connection all the way in last year's Pro Bowl final, holding them 2-2, before losing on penalties.

Caledonia can still beat anyone on their day, but have not regained the form which saw them lead the Pro League for most of last season. -Ian Prescott
