Nathan Quashie con­tin­ued to win over the hearts of his new school, San Juan North Sec­ondary, by net­ting an­oth­er de­ci­sive item in their 2-1 win over vis­i­tors Trin­i­ty Col­lege East to move top of the 16-team Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) Boys' Pre­mier Di­vi­sion, on Wednes­day.

With pre­vi­ous leader and un­beat­en team Fa­ti­ma Col­lege suf­fer­ing a 1-0 loss at its Mu­cu­rapo Road home venue to for­mer cham­pi­ons Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege of San Fer­nan­do to end its runs at six match­es, the Jer­ry Moe-coached San Juan North now leads the ta­ble with 18 points from sev­en match­es af­ter re­bound­ing from a 5-2 home loss to Fa­ti­ma, with the lat­ter now sec­ond on 16 points.

At the San Juan North Sec­ondary ground in Bourg Mu­la­tresse, Ja­heem Dan­clair re­dis­cov­ered his scor­ing touch by net­ting San Juan North's open­er, his fifth goal of the sea­son.

How­ev­er, Trin­i­ty East, com­ing off its first win of the sea­son, 2-1 over Mal­ick Sec­ondary would even things up be­fore the half-time whis­tle thanks to Jonathan Em­rith, his first of the sea­son.

But in an even­ly-matched sec­ond half, Quashie, who trans­ferred from Queen's Roy­al Col­lege (QRC) pri­or to the start of the sea­son net­ted the de­ci­sive item in the 63rd with his sev­enth item of the cam­paign to se­cure all three points.

Down at Mu­cu­rapo Road, Fa­ti­ma's brief stint at the top of the stand­ings end­ed af­ter one round af­ter a sec­ond-half goal from Levi Jones proved de­ci­sive for Pre­sen­ta­tion with the lat­ter im­prov­ing to 14 points in fourth spot, one be­hind four-time league win­ner Na­pari­ma Col­lege, who was hand­ed a sec­ond straight loss af­ter start­ing the sea­son with five straights wins, in a 3-2 loss to de­fend­ing cham­pi­on, St Bene­dict's Col­lege who trailed 2-0 ear­ly on.

At Lewis Street, San Fer­nan­do, Na­pari­ma went ahead in the 25th minute when de­fend­er Josi­ah Coop­er's down­ward head­er at the far post from a Jk­won Bai­ley free-kick beat goal­keep­er Thane De­venish.

Eight min­utes lat­er, the pro­lif­ic Kanye Fran­cis latched on­to a loose ball at the top of the 18-yard box to fire past De­venish on his near post for a 2-0 ad­van­tage for the host.

But two min­utes be­fore the in­ter­val, St Bene­dict's boost­ed their chances of a sec­ond-half come­back when Je­re­mi­ah Niles slammed home a right-sided cen­tre from Mala­cai Webb past goal­keep­er Tyrece Ro­main.

Both teams cre­at­ed a few chances on the re­sump­tion, but it was the vis­i­tors who took theirs with a free-kick from Keanu More­an glanc­ing off the head of Na­pari­ma's Tevin Pan­tor which elud­ed his own goal­keep­er Ro­main in­to the far cor­ner to tie up the score at 2-2 in the 68th.

In the 76th minute, some slop­py de­fend­ing by sub­sti­tute An­to­nio Hill, who failed to clear a long ball from An­tho­ny Williams, saw the ball drop­ping at the feet of Webb, who fired in­to the net on the sec­ond at­tempt af­ter his first shot on tar­get was blocked by Ro­main.

The win, the sec­ond on the trot for the 'La Ro­main Li­ons', the de­fend­ing SS­FL Pre­mier Di­vi­sion cham­pi­ons ex­tend­ed their un­beat­en run to five match­es af­ter start­ing the sea­son with two straight de­feats to move to 11 points in the 11th spot, one point be­hind the trio of St An­tho­ny's Col­lege, Ari­ma North Sec­ondary, and St Mary's Col­lege who were all in win­ners row, while Spey­side Sec­ondary is fifth with 13 points.

In the oth­er match­es, Spey­side bat­tled past vis­i­tor East Mu­cu­rapo 2-1; St An­tho­ny's crushed Pleas­antville Sec­ondary 6-1; Ari­ma North edged Mal­ick Sec­ondary 2-1, QRC pun­ished Ch­agua­nas North 6-0, and St Mary's over­came host Bish­op's High, 3-2.
