Holy Name Convent defeated St Joseph’s Convent 3-2 during their Secondary School Football League Girls Championship match at the St Joseph’s Convent Grounds at Federation Park, Port-of-Spain on Thursday.
It was the battle of the North Zone leaders Holy Name Convent led by the prolific scorer Jessica Harragin and the second-place team St Joseph’s Convent in the season’s second match-up.
Holy Name got the go-ahead goal from Chaya Vincent in 17th-minute to put her team out front, however, to level the season two-match series 1-1, Mikaela Yearwood netted in the 20th minute and Charlotte Hadeed extended the lead when she found the back of the net in the 49th-minute for St Joseph’s Convent. With both teams being spurred on by their supporters it was Harragin, who rose to the occasion and connected with strikes in the 55th and 66th minutes to deny the home team victory and a share of the season “Classico” honours.
Holy Name recorded a 4-2 victory in the team’s first meeting.
The teams will now shift their attention to the InterCol.
