San Juan North Secondary and Presentation College of San Fernando kept up their 100 percent winning records at the top of Group B of the Tiger Tanks Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Premier Division with contrasting Round Four wins, on Wednesday.
Playing away from home on a very heavy surface at Trincity, San Juan North got a lone strike from Larry Noel to defeat Trinity College East for a fourth straight win in as many matches while handing the host a third straight 1-0 loss.
Noel got his goal as early as the second minute to push his league-leading tally to 12 goals, while San Juan North who also saw a left-footed Lindell Sween free-kick ricochet off the crossbar in the 27th minute improved to a maximum of 12 points, level with Inter-Col holders Presentation College to stay on course to secure the two semifinal playoff spots from the Group.
At Union Hall, San Fernando, Presentation got first-half items from Caleb Boyce, his fourth of the campaign, and Maliq Brathwaite and a second-half strike from Mackeil Edwards in a 3-0 win over Moruga Secondary, who remained bottom of the eight-team table without a point.
At St Mary’s College Ground, Serpentine Road, St Clair, Aydon Caruth (22nd penalty), Zion Aberdeen (37th), Musaddiq Mohammed (52nd), and Stephon James (64th) were all on target for Queen's Royal College (QRC) in their 4-2 triumph over Malick Secondary, who got two late items from J'Lon Matthews in the 70th and 73rd minutes.
At African Grounds, Enterprise, Zion Harley netted a first-half double for East Mucurapo in a 2-1 win against Chaguanas North Secondary, who had Justin Lewis on target.
