FC San­ta Rosa and Queen’s Park Crick­et Club will have to wait un­til next week’s fi­nal match of the sea­son to de­ter­mine the 2018 T&T Su­per League cham­pi­ons af­ter both teams picked up con­trast­ing wins in the penul­ti­mate round of match­es. FC San­ta Rosa has 60 points and QPCC 57.

With the Parkites pick­ing up a de­fault win over Met­al X Erin FC to move to 51 points from 25 match­es, the onus was on FC San­ta Rosa to get max­i­mum points against strug­gling San Fer­nan­do Gi­ants, which they did cour­tesy a 4-1 tri­umph on Fri­day night at the Ari­ma Mu­nic­i­pal Sta­di­um in Ari­ma.

How­ev­er, it was the Gi­ants who stunned the host ear­ly on when Je­re­my Primus fired in a ninth-minute go-ahead item to rat­tle San­ta Rosa nerves.

But just as he has done all sea­son long, Kishun Seecha­ran came up with a time­ly strike, his 13th of the cam­paign, to get FC San­ta Rosa lev­el in the 12th.

Sev­en min­utes lat­er Noel Williams got the much de­served go-ahead item for San­ta which they took in­to the in­ter­val be­fore Williams again net­ted in the 66th for a 3-1 cush­ion with his tenth goal of the sea­son.

Akeem Gar­cia then capped off the win for FC San­ta Rosa with a 90th-minute goal to help car­ry his team to 60 points from 25 match­es, three ahead of the Parkites (57) which will have to­day off af­ter pick­ing up the de­fault win against Erin FC.

To­day, two match­es are on sched­ule with Prison Ser­vice ver­sus Cunu­pia FC, and Pe­tit Val­ley/Diego Mar­tin Unit­ed against Bethel Unit­ed.
