The three teams to gain pro­mo­tion to the 2025 Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League Pre­mier Di­vi­sion will be de­ter­mined on Tues­day (Jan­u­ary 21) when the two resched­uled Round One match­es take place.

As it stands, three of the four teams, which will be in ac­tion on the fi­nal day of the round-robin com­pe­ti­tion, will be in the mix to ce­ment a top-three fin­ish and pro­mo­tion.

This, as Cara­pichaima East Sec­ondary, Trin­i­ty Col­lege of Mo­ka and Hillview Col­lege, all have five points each and are locked in a three-way lead at the top while Scar­bor­ough Sec­ondary is next with four points, and cel­lar-placed Pleas­antville Sec­ondary, one.

How­ev­er, while East Zone cham­pi­on Hillview has com­plet­ed its four-match cam­paign and needs re­sults to go its way to re­main among the top three, Cara­pichaima East Sec­ondary, Trin­i­ty Col­lege of Mo­ka and Scar­bor­ough Sec­ondary, all have a match left.

On Tues­day, Pleas­antville Sec­ondary, who saw its pro­mo­tion hopes end in a 3-1 away loss to Scar­bor­ough Sec­ondary ear­li­er this month, hosts Trin­i­ty Col­lege of Mo­ka at Man­nie Ramjohn Sta­di­um Train­ing Field in Mara­bel­la while Cara­pichaima East meets Scar­bor­ough Sec­ondary at St Mary's Recre­ation Ground, both from 3.30 pm.

Such is the close­ness of the pro­mo­tion race, Cara­pichaima East, who will en­ter the round at the top of the ta­ble, could still find it­self out­side of the top three should it suf­fer a de­feat by a heavy mar­gin while Trin­i­ty Col­lege of Mo­ka could al­so suf­fer the same out­come should it go un­der to Pleas­antville.

At the end of the "Big Five", the top three teams will be pro­mot­ed to re­place the trio of Spey­side Sec­ondary, East Mu­cu­rapo Sec­ondary, and Mir­a­cle Min­istries Pen­te­costal High School, who were rel­e­gat­ed af­ter end­ing in po­si­tions 14th, 15th, and 16th, re­spec­tive­ly, in the 2024 SS­FL Pre­mier Di­vi­sion.

Tues­day's match­es
