Goal in time saves P/Town, Tigers, Malick win in the mud.

Goal in time saves P/Town.
By: Garth Wattley (Express).
[/size]

Three minutes into yesterday's top-of-the table clash, Princes Town Senior Comprehensive striker Andre Quashie hit his penalty high enough to give Naparima College custodian Curtis Julien the chance to save the kick.
However, 20 minutes from the end of this BG T&T Secondary Schools Football League South Zone encounter, Julien's opposite number Brandon Williams couldn't get a hand to Anthony Parris' drive, which duly struck the net.
The first goal in 160 minutes of play this season between these keen rivals in the SSFL South Zone looked enough to win "Naps" three vital points and stretch their slim lead over second placed Princes Town to four. But no!
In the last minute of this Manny Ramjohn Stadium fixture, Kyim Balthazar left the Naparima fans, and their players, dumfounded with the most accurate of headers. Out of the blue it came, with not a minute to spare: 1-1 the final score.
And while it did nothing to help P/Town close the one-point gap at the summit, Balthazar's goal kept the race tight. And allowed Quashie to breathe easier.
Down to the last minute yesterday, he must have been anxiously reliving Julien's penalty stop, or conversely, his miss in a match where clear-cut chances were scarce, especially for Princes Town and where taking points off the leaders was vital to P/Town's title hopes.
A further thwarting of Quashie by Julien in the first half following a square pass from his skipper Shevon Frederick and a clearance in front of his keeper by a Naps defender of a goal-bound effort seemed to be the best Princes Town could manage.
In truth, their opponents seemed to have their measure. Not that the Naparima midfield was shredding the P/Town defence to bits. There was too much wayward passing in the game from either side for defence men to have been so pressured. But, in the first half especially, Naps enjoyed the greater possession.
Striker Shahdon Winchester, no longer so tiny a lad but still busy, twice forced Princes Town keeper Williams to concede corners.
But on this slicked up field, there was little fluency to the play. The second half did not improve the quality. But Princes Town enjoyed more parity.
Still, after the "Green Hornets" had lost possession in their half and Parris eventually collected, shifted one defender and wrong-footed the keeper with an effort that seemed deflected, Naps appeared to have done the business again, getting the goal that mattered. But like the old thief in the night, Balthazar came calling.
Jumping well, he met one last, desperate cross from the right side of the 18-metre box with a downward header that beat Julien for precision rather than power. Into the bottom right hand corner of the net it nestled. A vital point saved for P/Town, two lost for Naps. Quashie would get a good night's sleep.
Tigers, Malick win in the mud.
By: Kern De Freitas (Express).


Despite the muddy conditions at their respective BG T&T Secondary Schools Football League North Zone venues, neither St Anthony's College nor Malick Senior Comprehensive slipped up in the competition yesterday.
The "Tigers" romped to a 3-1 halftime lead away to Fatima College at Mucurapo Road, finishing on the better end of a 4-3 victory. And Malick got the better of Mucurapo Secondary Comprehensive 4-2 at Trinity College's Moka ground, to keep the battle for the "North" title and a place in the National "Big Five" on course for a photo-finish.
Qian Grosvenor found the net in first half injury time, then again early in the second period to put the match beyond Fatima. But there were still some nervous moments at the end for the Westmoorings side, after conceding to Fatima skipper Sheldon Bateau in stoppage time. But Bateau's second goal was the final one of the match, meaning full points for their opponents.
Subway ‘Tigers’ edge Fatima 4-3.
By: Joel Bailey (Newsday).


Bradley Lawrence scored twice to guide North Zone leaders, the Subway-sponsored “Westmoorings Tigers” St Anthony’s to a nail-biting 4-3 win over Fatima as the Championship Division of the BG Trinidad and Tobago Secondary Schools Football League continued.
At the Fatima Ground yesterday, the visitors were 2-0 up through Nicholas Hernandez (eighth minute) and Lawrence (20th) before Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 striker Stephen Knox pulled one back (40th).
Lawrence got his second on the stroke of half-time before another TT U-17 player, defender Sheldon Bateau, converted a 50th minute freekick to reduce the deficit to 3-2.
Qian Grovesnor put the “Tigers” 4-2 ahead in the 52nd but Bateau gave Fatima a glimmer of hope with his second, in stoppage time. However, it was a little too late for the hosts.
Randy Castillo netted a double as Malick kept up the pressure on the “Tigers” with a 4-2 spanking of dethroned champs Mucurapo at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
National Under-17 defender Robert Primus and Kaydaye Gabriel added one each for Malick while Jovan James and Muta Taylor responded for Mucurapo.
And the clash between Diego Martin and Trinity ended in a 2-2 draw at Diego Martin with Kevon Duram and Jeremy McMeo scoring for the visitors.
Naparima and Princes Town battled to an exciting 1-1 draw in the top of the table South Zone contest at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella. Anthony Parris’ second-half strike seemed to be enough for the reigning champs Naps before Kareem Balthazar responded in stoppage time.
The second game of the double-header saw Presentation San Fernando spank St Bene-dict’s 3-0 with items from Akeem Marshall (30th), Jerome Diaz (80th) and Jamaal Clarence (86th).
Vessigny got a double from Keegan Bacchus as they edged hosts Siparia 2-1, despite a Daniel Henry strike for the struggling Siparia.
Carapichaima, who successfully retained their Central Zone crown, extended their winning streak to eight matches with a 3-2 result away to Waterloo. Michael Renaud got a pair for Carapichaima while Phillip Wickham added the other. Wendell Archibald and Malcolm Nedd replied for the hosts.
Deleon Massy notched a hat-trick while Shane Katwaroo and Dane Taylor chipped in with one each for Marabella as they trounced last-placed Tabaquite 5-0 at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva while the contest between Chaguanas Secondary and Presentation Chaguanas did not play due to the absence of the match officials.
San Juan stayed top in the East Zone after a 5-1 hammering of the visiting Toco, with Kareem Girod, Kevin McNeil, Elijah Manners, Keston Jackie and Akil James on target for the hosts.
But 2006 champs, the “Green Machine” St Augustine, remained in second place after whipping the “Dial Dynamos” Arima 3-0 at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima. Mason Hall remained ahead in the Tobago Zone following a 1-0 win against Bishop High at Shaw Park, Scarborough.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Not much between P. town and Naps.  They know each other too well.  Looks like it will be down to the wire.  Go Benedicts!  Have some pride and play well against Naps. ;)
