East Zone champion St Augustine showed no sign of slowing down when action continued in all zones of the BGTT First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), yesterday, as the Green Machine handed San Juan North a 4-0 beating at home.The match was close to heading into the half without a goal but a minute before the interval Aikim Andrews scored to give St Augustine a 1-0 lead. Immediate upon the resumption Ricardo John bagged his second goal in as many matches as St Augustine took a two goal advantage. Just after the hour mark Andrews was once again on target which took his goal tally to four goals in three matches, before Akeem Garcia, who also scored in last week's 9-0 thrashing of Valencia, rounded off the scoring in added time.
The win put St Augustine on 12 points from four straight wins, six ahead of El Dorado West, Arima North and San Juan North. El Dorado West took a surprise 2-0 win over Arima North, while the other match in the zone ended in a 2-0 triumph for Trinity East over Valencia Secondary. In Trinity's win, Tyrik John, son of T&T footballing legend Stern John, was yet again on target as was Dharon Sutherland. The same two players were on target in Trinity's 2-0 win over El Dorado East, last week.In the North, the two teams which enjoyed the best start to the season, St Anthony's College and St Mary's College continued their winning ways. St Anthony's goals were almost equally separated in a match which the Tigers controlled from start to finish. Three players, Kwesi Allen (38th), Matthew Woo Ling and Kadeem Corbin (90th+) were all on target as St Anthony's eased past bottom-of-the-table Malick to secure its fourth consecutive victory and maintain top spot, tied with St Mary's College which played one match more. The Saints, guided by a first half double from an in-form Chinua Bernard took a comfortable 2-0 away win at Queen's Royal College.
Meanwhile, Diego Martin North secured its first point of the season when it held East Mucurapo to a goalless draw at Fatima College Ground.Down South, a brace from Shevon Diaz guided leader Shiva Boys to a comfortable 3-1 win over its hosts Pleasantville. Shiva Boys showed its intent early as Levi Garcia opened the scoring with a 3rd minute goal. Diaz got his name on the scoresheet in the 13th minute to give Shiva Boys a comfortable lead.Yohannes Richardson pulled one back six minutes before the break to give Pleasantville some hope going into the second half. However, Diaz put the match to rest with a goal in the final minute.Over at Princes Town, a goal apiece from Martieon Watson and Akeem Humphrey gave Naparima a 2-0 win over Princes Town. In the last match, second placed Presentation kept the pressure on Shiva Boys as Shaquille Henry's two goals led Presentation to an easy 3-0 win over St Benedicts.In Tobago, Speyside remained unbeaten and top of the table in style with a 5-0 win over Pentecostal L&L while Scarborough, the defending champion got back to winning ways and also remained unbeaten after a series of draws with a comfortable 3-0 win over Bishop's High.
