Na­pari­ma Col­lege and San Juan North Sec­ondary both made it five wins on the trot each from as many match­es to re­main joint lead­ers of the Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) 16-team Pre­mier Di­vi­sion af­ter round five, on Wednes­day.

Down South at its Lewis Street, San Fer­nan­do venue, four-time cham­pi­on Na­pari­ma made it 22 goals with­out con­ced­ing at home with a 3-0 de­feat of Mal­ick Sec­ondary.

The trio of Jaron Pas­call, J'kwon Bai­ley with a penal­ty, and Tevin Pan­tor were all on the score­sheet for the Travis Mul­raine-coached south­ern­ers to push their points tal­ly to a max­i­mum 15 points, the same as San Juan North, 1-0 vic­tors away to the pre­vi­ous­ly un­beat­en Ari­ma North at the Ari­ma Mu­nic­i­pal Sta­di­um.

Ja­heem Dan­clair scored the lone goal of the con­test for San Juan North, two min­utes in­to time added on at the end of the first half. He was fastest to re­act to head home a re­bound af­ter a shot from Lin­dell Sween took a wicked bounce on the sur­face in front of goal­keep­er Di­az, be­fore ric­o­chet­ing off his knee in­to the San Juan North play­ers' path.

In the sec­ond half, Ari­ma North led by the in­flu­en­tial play of Dar­i­on Mar­fan, and Je­maul Ash­ing cre­at­ed a few ner­vous mo­ments for the Jer­ry Moe-coached San Juan North, but in the end the the San Juan boys held on for what could turn out to be three vi­tal points in the ti­tle race.

How­ev­er, at Mu­cu­rapo Road, reign­ing Na­tion­al In­ter-Col cham­pi­on Fa­ti­ma Col­lege had its per­fect start to the sea­son halt­ed in a 0-0 draw with de­fend­ing Na­tion­al League cham­pi­on St Bene­dict's Col­lege to slip to third on the ta­ble with 13 points. St Bene­dict's re­main in the bot­tom half of the stand­ings with five points in the 12th spot.

Af­ter los­ing their first two match­es, St An­tho­ny's is now up to fourth on the ta­ble with nine points af­ter they clob­bered Ch­agua­nas North 10-1 at Ed­in­burgh 500 recre­ation ground, Ch­agua­nas led by a hat trick from Aalon Wil­son-Wright.

The trio of An­dell Fras­er, Theo Cravador and Jean-Marc Thomas added two goals each for the "West­moor­ing Tigers" in their third straight win while Morde­cai Ford added the oth­er item, and Ne­gaste Moore the con­so­la­tion strike for the host who trailed 5-1 at the half.

Else­where, St Mary's Col­lege edged East Mu­cu­rapo Sec­ondary 3-2 in an all-North Zone clash, Bish­op's High stunned host Queen's Roy­al Col­lege (QRC) for their first win of the sea­son, Pleas­antville Sec­ondary picked up their first point of the cam­paign in a 2-2 draw with Trin­i­ty Col­lege East, and Spey­side Sec­ondary held vis­i­tors and for­mer cham­pi­ons Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege of San Fer­nan­do to a 1-all draw.
