Tavia Skeete and Talia Martin scored a goal each to see Speyside High School to a 2-1 victory over Bishop's High in the Tobago zone in the Girls' Championship Division of the Shell/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) on Thursday afternoon.
The teams met at Speyside recreation ground and were locked in a tight battle but it was Speyside prevailing.
Darianne Henry, who later named one of Bishop's most valuable player after the match-up, was the scorer for her unit. Her team-mate Abrielle Baynes shared the honour with her for her contribution.
For Speyside, Martin and Anisha Alexander were named the leading players in the lone match played in the zone.
The other match between Signal Hill and Mason Hall was cancelled due to a waterlogged field.
Back in Trinidad, Five Rivers and El Dorado East put some commanding performances to continue their respective run for the East Zone title. Five Rivers defeated Valencia 6-0 while El Dorado beat San Juan North, 5-2.
The match between Manzanilla Secondary and Bishop Anstey East did not play.
Down South, Fyzabad overpowered Moruga, 11-0.
Point Fortin East was carded to play Pleasantville but that affair did not come off either.
The action continues tomorrow with each match kicking off at 3 pm.
