Akeen Lynch scores hattrick for “El Do”
By: Rachael Thompson-King (Guardian).[/size]
A 3-0 win over Hillview College by St Augustine Senior Comprehensive at home yesterday keeps the “Green Machine” prospect of reclaiming the East Zone league title very likely.
St Augustine goals came from Glynn Franklyn, Anthony Moses and Christon Mark.
The “Green Machine” is at the head of the standings with 28 points, four more than San Juan Secondary Comprehensive (24 point), who also secured a huge win over Arima Senior Comprehensive, 10-2.
Three players—Elijah Manner, Neil Mitchell and Hayden John— each netted a double to lead San Juan’s scoring attack after leading 3-1 at the half in a match that was played in Bourg Mulatresse, San Juan.
The other goals were scored by Joel Russell, Jonathon Romaine, Kareem Jirod and Anthony Guppy.
For Arima, who is in last place in the zone, Khalid Claude and Kellon Malchan scored the goals.
At El Dorado, the host, behind a hattrick from Akeen Lynch in the first half, defeated Toco 4-1.
“El Do” final item was scored by Kerry Latapy.
Malabar Composite was not in action as it was on a bye.
Results
St Augustine 3 (Glynn Franklyn, Anthony Moses, Christon Mark) v Hillview 0.
San Juan 10 (Elijah Manner 2, Neil Mitchell 2, Hayden John 2, Joel Russell, Jonathon Romaine, Kareem Jirod, Anthony Guppy) v Arima 2 (Khalid Claude, Kellon Malchan).
El Dorado 4 (Akeen Lynch 3, Kerry Latapy) v Toco 1.
Mucurapo within sight of retaining title.

Mucurapo Senior Comprehensive is one point away from its third successive North Zone title, following victory over QRC yesterday at Fatima Ground, Mucurapo, its eighth win of the British Gas Secondary Schools Football season.
Goals on either side of the half from Al Mohammed (41st) and Khaleem Highland (65th) were enough to give “Compre” another triumph.
A draw against Malick on Saturday will be enough to see the zonal leader repeat as champion.
Fatima’s 0-0 draw with Malick yesterday also ensured that Mucurapo’s task would be easy, as the 2005 Intercol winner was seven points behind the leader at the start of the day and needed a win to keep in contention for the title. Qian Grovesnor was on target four times for St Anthony’s, who drubbed St Mary’s 7-2 in Westmoorings.
Results
Fatima 0 v Malick 0.
Mucurapo 2 (Al Mohammed 41st, Khlaeem Highland 65th) v QRC 0.
St Anthony’s 7 (Qian Grovesnor (4), Justin Highley, Kerron Villaroel, Andre Sebro) v St Mary’s 2.
Carapichaima wins in Central.
By: Kwame Williams (Guardian).[/size]
Without having to kick a ball, Carapichaima Senior Secondary clinched its first ever Central Zone league title yesterday.
“Caps” beat Tabaquite 3-0 on Monday in the only match played in the zone that day. This saw it strecthing its lead over the pack to 11 points and needing just one point from its final three fixtures to win.
If Marabella, the team in second place, had won yesterday then Carapichaima would have had to wait until the next round of matches to be crowned kings.
Marabella was unable to do so however, falling 2-0 to Presentation College San Fernando at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva in the second match of a double-header. In the first match at the same venue Chaguanas whipped UCB 3-1.
Results
UCB 1 v Chaguanas 3 (Fidel Glasgow (2), o.g.)
Marabella 0 v Presentation 2 (Zerron Forte, Wayne Nicome).

Jerron Quashie opened the scoring, giving the defending champ a 1-0 lead it held until the end of the first half.

Trevin Caesar got the go-ahead-goal, before Jevaughn Arnold settled things with his late strike.
Diego Nicholson notched a hattrick for Signal Hill, as it thumped Mason Hall 6-3 at the Dwight Yorke Stadium’s Training Ground. Curtis Moses, who scored twice, and Ruel Waldrop accounted for the other three items.
