North Zone leader Holy Name Convent Port-of-Spain, on Sunday moved to 15 points at the top of the standing in the zone after thrashing Bishops Anstey 8-4 at Fatima grounds in the Girls Championship Division of the Tiger Tanks Secondary Schools Football League.
Jessica Harragin led the way with a hat-trick, while Calypso Ayoung and Elliana Dyette each got a brace, and Jada Cummings got the other goal to ensure that the school stayed in strong contention to claim the win in the zone that would enable them, to progress to the play-offs next month.
At St Joseph’s Convent’s home ground, the home team will have to wait for organisers to decide what happens next in their encounter with Tranquility Secondary, which was abandoned with four minutes left in the game.
The St Joseph’s Convent girls led 9-0 when the referee called off the match. The St Joseph’s girls are second on the standings with nine points and a win in this game will take them to 12 points where they will maintain pressure on the leader.
In another North Zone match, the officials will also have to decide after the Diego Martin Central versus Bishop’s Centenary contest was also called off with 25 minutes to go due to rain. The Diego Martin girls were leading 2-1 at that time.
Meanwhile, in the East Zone, Five Rivers Secondary maintained their lead at the top of the table by hammering El Dorado East, 6-0. They now lead second-place St Augustine Secondary by three points on 12 points.
However, the St Augustine girls shut out Manzanilla Secondary 4-2 to move to nine points.
In another match, the San Juan North could not follow in the footsteps of their boys’ counterparts, as they went down 5-0 to Bishop Anstey East.
Meanwhile, matches in the south and central zones were postponed.
