RBTT Inter-Col action heats up today as BG T&T Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) North Zone champions Mucurapo Senior Comp battle against Diego Martin Government Secondary at the Hasely Crawford Stadium from 5 p.m.
After a sour defeat to St Augustine Senior Comprehensive on penalties in the SSFL Big Five competition last week, Compre will be hoping to regroup for the Intercol competition, where they cannot afford to slip up as every game is a virtual final.
Mucurapo lost against a weak Trinity College in the last league game of the season, but rebounded well for the Big Five games.
They continue to have problems in "big game" situations and that will be the top priority for coach Selris Figaro.
St Anthony's College will also be in action at the Hasely Crawford Stadium against Queen's Royal College (QRC) in the first game of the double-header from 3 p.m.
QRC have been in a battle against relegation throughout the season but finished the league above last place St Mary's College. The Royalians will be looking to put their poor league form behind them and salvage some pride from an otherwise dismal season.
St Anthony's finished in a strong fourth place in the North Zone and will be looking for redemption as they to try to salvage their season and recreate the form of the past teams which won back-to-back Intercol North Zone titles in 2001 and 2002.
And in Tobago, Roxborough Composite will also be looking to put their poor league performances behind them as they take on Bishop's High at the Dwight Yorke Stadium from 3.30 p.m.
