Club Sando copped the 2023 WoLF league title, and on July 19, they defeated the Army/Coast Guard combination by a 2-1 margin in Mucurapo to seize the Women Warriors Wellness invitational football crown in exciting fashion. On July 29, the south-based team will again try to defy the Defence Force battalion as they go after another title.

In the first semi, Club Sando made light work of Tobago Chicas as they got a comprehensive 6-0 win at the St James Police Barracks on July 21. Pleasantville Secondary starlet Nikita Gosine walked away with the MVP award at the Women Wellness tournament, and she was up to her old tricks again against Tobago Chicas as she got herself on the scoresheet.

Club Sando, who possess a nice mix of promising youth players and players with national team experience, also got goals from seasoned campaigners such as Afiya Cornwall, Khadidra Debesette and Chrissy Mitchell en route to their facile win.

In the second semifinal on July 23, Defence Force set up their rematch with Club Sando when they spanked Tobago's Jewels SC by a 5-1 margin in Mucurapo.
