Hav­ing crushed Princes Town West 28-0 on Sun­day, Oc­to­ber 1 led by 14 goals from na­tion­al youth team play­er Niki­ta Go­sine, Pleas­antville re­peat­ed the same score line in their maul­ing of Pa­lo Seco Sec­ondary with Go­sine (N) adding six goals, Taye-Ann Wylie scor­ing four, Na­talia Go­sine three, and the pair of Maya Wong, and Aman­da Nanan chipped in with two goals each.

Kay­ley No­ray had opened the scor­ing for Bish­op’s East in the 17th minute while Emil­ly Har­ri­lal al­so net­ted in the 50th to can­cel out Shaquil­la Daniel’s brace for Barataria North in the 42nd, and 52nd min­utes af­ter Ali­cia Roberts had briefly tied up the score at 1-1 in the 30th.

In the North, St Joseph’s Con­vent (PoS) stayed on course to claim the crown af­ter a 3-1 whip­ping of Bish­ops Anstey led by a brace from Scar­lett Cole to push their points tal­ly to 22 and three match­es left, while Bish­ops has 20, and two match­es left in­clud­ing a fi­nal day en­counter with the lead­ers.
