Isaiah Alexander of Trinity College, Moka was the toast of his team-mates yesterday, as his lone goal earned a 1-0 win over Queen’s Royal College, St Clair.
The win moved Trinity to the top of the 2016 Shell/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League Premier Division with seven points.
The victory was its second on the trot after edging San Juan North, 2-1 on Saturday.
The trio of Shiva Boys Hindu College, St Anthony’s College and Presentation College of San Fernando are all on six points.
At San Juan North Secondary Ground, Bourg Mulatresse, the host got a second-half double from Jerome Boyce to cancel out Shiva Boys’ Tyrell Emmanuel 42nd minute strike in a 2-1 win.
Emmanuel along with team-mate Quinn Rodney were expected to be part of the national Under-20 team which left for Guyana yesterday for a pre-Caribbean Football Union tournament camp, but for various reasons the duo remained with their school team while goalkeeper Denzil Smith made the journey.
At Warren Street, St Anthony’s got a goal each from Derron John and Haile Beckles, a penalty to earn a similar come-from-behind 2-1 win over host St Augustine, while Jordon Riley’s 55th strike earned Presentation College a 1-0 win over St Benedict’s College.
Defending champions, Naparima got their first win of the campaign thanks to Lee Isaiah’s 89th strike to get past Fyzabad 2-1 while Fatima blanked St Mary’s 2-0 and Signal Hill slipped past East Mucurapo for their first wins as well. (NS)
