Kadeem Corbin and Kwesi Allen bagged a goal each on either side of the half to guide defending zonal champion St Anthony’s College to a famous 2-1 victory over an uninspired rival St Mary in the BGTT First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), yesterday.

The result added insult to injury for St Mary’s, which was leapfrogged by St Anthony’s. St Anthony’s enjoyed its third consecutive league win, while St Mary’s suffered its first loss in what has been a promising start to the campaign for coach Jason Edwards’ Saints.

Corbin scored in the 32nd minute to give the host team, St Anthony’s a 1-0 advantage at half time. Only moments into the second half, St Anthony’s made it 2-0 when Kwesi Allen, one of the players who remained from the National Coca-Cola InterCol winning team from last year.

St Mary’s subsequently found the perfect response through Rashad Hyacinth who tucked away a penalty kick in the 52nd minute, which was called for a hand-ball by Tigers defender Shaquille Huggins.

St Mary’s showed little life in its effort to level the scores, thus leaving Nigel Grosvenor’s St Anthony’s to enjoy yet another win, in what is shaping up to be an exiting year in North Zone football.

The other results in the zone saw Fatima College edge newly-promoted Malick Secondary 3-2, after the latter team came from 2-0 down to level the scores, while Queen’s Royal College eked out a 2-1 win over Diego Martin North Secondary.

Action in Tobago was also carded for yesterday, but referees were unavailable for the matches. The matches will instead be played today. Action will also resume in two other zones, the East and South Zones. The Central Zone will restart on Saturday with a full round of matches.

In the East, the last remaining team on a 100 per cent winning record, St Augustine Secondary, which is also the defending league champion will travel to the Arima Municipal Stadium to face rock bottom, Valencia Secondary, which remains without a point after three matches. South Zone champion Presentation, aiming to continue its 100 per cent winning record will also host a newly-promoted Mayaro Secondary at Union Hall.
