HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago’s Defence Force were forced to come from behind to force a 1-1 draw with Bermuda’s Dandy Town in the first leg of their Caribbean Football Union Club Championships at BAA Field on Thursday night.
Dandy Town, nicknamed the Hornets who are Bermuda’s defending league champions, stung their more fancied opponents by taking the lead in the 23rd minute when Jahmel Swan headed in after goalkeeper Kevin Graham totally misjudged a Damon Ming corner.
But it took the Trinidadian Pro League champions only eight minutes to draw level through Sean Narcis.
The midfielder drove from deep, swapped passes with Jerwyn Balthazar on the edge of the penalty area and, with the home defence split, fired home past goalkeeper Daniel Johnson.
Both sides spurned chances to take the lead before the interval.
The visitors largely had the better of play after the break but could not add to their tally, and a draw proved a fair result on the night.
The second leg will be played in Trinidad on March 19.
