Two teams soaring at the top of the TCC League do battle in Week 8 action. Real Sapphire enjoyed a dominant streak, the best-ever start to a TCC campaign for a debutant, winning 4 and drawing 2 of their first 6 matches, but good things come to an end, and whether they can be rekindled is another subject entirely. 

Dino needs an injection of fresh impetus. The set piece specialists have a routine for everything but have stumbled since losing their winning run in week 5. They have scored the most goals from free kicks, and have even added throw-ins to the repertoire. Coach Godwin Gibson has them inspired to a tee. 

STAT ATTACK

5 – Dino have conceded the least goals in the TCC League this season, it would have to stand the test of Real Sapphire, who have scored a whooping 18, the second most in the league.

MAN TO WATCH

A schemer, he is a joy to watch on his day. If he gets going, Dino are unstoppable.
