San Juan Secondary slammed defending zonal champions St Augustine Secondary 6-1 at their Bourg Mulatresse home ground to extend their lead at top the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) East Zone.


The current zonal leaders are now on a maximum 18 points and put themselves five points clear of El Dorado who were on a bye.

In Arima, Hillview College, led by former Eldo assistant coach John Henry, got the better of the hosts 3-1.

The San Juan run has been a tremendous one, as they have now gone unbeaten in the six games they have played to date. They have only been really kept close, unexpectedly, by Malabar Composite in a 2-1 affair back September 10.

There was nothing close about yesterday's game.

The Green Machine's inconsistent form cropped up again and caused them to be hammered at the hands of the very hungry San Juan side. They remain locked on 10 points.

San Juan will be thinking that if they can keep up their momentum, their drought of East zone titles will be at the end of this season.

They romped to a 3-1 lead at the half-time interval with Green Machine striker Shastri Spencer's penalty conversion barely keeping St Augustine in the game.

But they failed to contain the threat from the homesters who saw Anthony Guppy netting a hat trick of goals, the last of which was a scorcher that rattled the net after a late and futile acrobatic attempt by St Augustine Secondary keeper Jonathan Chance in the dying minutes of the match.
