I vaguely recall reading that L'Ouverture had sought help from O'Higgins (as well as Bolivar as you mentioned). Don't remember whether they met personally exactly.

Unfortunately, those two great men never met. The young O'Higgins came back to Chile in 1802, the same year the older Toussaint L'Ouverture was sent to jail in France. However, since O'Higgins was forced to leave Chile around 1817 and formed alliances with other independentists, it's possible that he accompanied Simon Bolivar to Haiti to meet with President Petion, another legend in Haiti's history. Also, notice that Miranda, a close friend of O'Higgins, also met with Dessalines in the early 1800's. So, it is possible that O'Higgins met Haitian leaders. However, it's unlikely that he met Toussaint Louverture.

Peace.

The New Digicel Ouverture 2007 season kicks off, Cavaly and Zénith Start At the Top

The new league season has officially kicked off as the Championnat National de Première Division got underway last saturday with a match between Racing Club Haïtien and Violette AC, the biggest league rivalry in Haïti.

At Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince, the 2 league giants played to a 1:1 draw in front of a mostly Racing Club Haïtien fan base. After a scoreless first half, Violette AC drew first blood thanks to a goal by Frederic Simon in the 68th minute. Unfortunately for the visitors, their lead was short-lived as the Haïtian International James Marcelin struck back for Racing Club Haïtien 6 minutes later.

During postgame interviews, Violette AC's manager Wébens Princimé expressed much disappointment in his squad's first half performance mentioning that they came out playing too timidly. Racing Club Haïtien's manager has promised the fans of Port-au-Prince that the club will have a positive result against Racing des Gonaïves tomorrow night despite the fact that the match will be played at Parc Vincent in downtown Gonaïves.

Alexandre Bourcicault: Strong Interest from RSC Anderlecht



Haitian correspondent, Julio Midy, has reported that Haitian International Alexandre Bourcicault has been involved in talks of a possible trade to Belgium Champions, RSC Anderlecht, after his performance in Haiti's first round match with Guadeloupe. Negotiations between RSC Anderlecht and Bourcicault's current club, Violette AC, will be in progress at a later time and if signed Bourcicault would most likely head for Europe after the Gold Cup.

Hey

I was just curious to find out what the payscale was like on the Haitian league. I ask because it seems a lot of money seems to have been invested (specially from the private sector) and the stadiums look nice, etc, etc...How would the pay rate compare to other Caribbean countries, for instance?
