Defending champions Arnett Gardens ended their campaign at the CFU Club Sheild tournament after going down 4-1 to AC Port of Spain at the Haseley Crawford Stadium in Trinidad on Tuesday.
Arnett who won their opening game 4 nil over Dublanc of Dominica on Sunday was eliminated from the competition due to this year’s new format which is using the Swiss-Style model for the group phase,
The Swiss-Style model means despite being drawn in a group of six teams, Arnett will only play two matches in the first round, which will be used to determine their final group positions.
