Colts are the Best Dark Virginia Cup winners one
more time. The fighting Belmont Battalion edged
glamour boys Malvern 1-0, with a 35th minute goal
by Hilton Moore……. there was no stopping
Moore’s smashing right-footer from an inside left
position, after he collected, a Daniel pass and
raced goal wards.
When Malvern attacked, they found skipper Victor
McGill a difficult man to pass, and when they did
manage to do so, goalkeeper Roderick McLean
saved splendidly. Malvern was unlucky not to
equalise in the 74th minute when with keeper
McLean beaten by Olric Boxill’s shot, full back
Stephen Figaro cleared off the goal-line.

Colts Club was the pride and joy of the district of
Belmont. The Club was located on Zampty Lane in
Belmont and when you play for Colts it was like the
people of Belmont adopted you as their son.
Although I lived in Morvant, all of my aunts and uncles
lived in Belmont. I stayed in Belmont for long periods
at a time, and playing with Colts was one of the best
things that happened in my career.
My brother Victor was my role model and the influence
on most of my football decisions. He had a powerful
shot and was one of a few defenders who scored from
the run of play almost every season. He played for all
my teams both in Trinidad and in Canada and we
would have played together on the national team had I
not migrated. But I was around for most of the BDV
Cup run in ‘72 before leaving after the semi final.
