Having surged to the top of the BGTT/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Premier Division with a 2-0 win over Speyside in the last round of matches, new leader San Juan North will now look to solidify its hold on the top spot.
Currently San Juan North, third placed finishers behind double-crown champions Naparima College and St Anthony's College last year lead the 15-team table with 18 points from eight matches, one more than Presentation College of San Fernando.
Naparima and fellow southerners Shiva Boys are joint third with 16 points from seven matches each followed by St Benedict's College (14 pts), St Mary's College (13) and the duo of St Anthony's College and St Augustine Secondary, both with 11 points and still in the hunt for the league and top four finish as well.
Today, San Juan North led by lanky striker Brent Sam, scorer of both goals in the win over Speyside to carry his season tally to eight, will travel to Fyzabad, which is coming off a 1-0 loss to Trinity College, Moka, to remain in the bottom four with six points.
With Presentation on a bye, fellow south schools Naparima, Shiva Boys and St Benedict's can all move ahead should they pick up full points over Trinity College East, Queen's Royal College and St Augustine, respectively.
Over in Tobago, St Mary's will hope to get back to winning ways after its 3-1 home loss to Shiva when it tackles Speyside while St Anthony's, which conceded a last gasp equaliser in a 3-3 draw with St Augustine last time out, travels to Fatima College, which is coming off a first win this season, 3-0 against Trinity East.
In the other match on today, Carapichaima East is at home to Trinity Moka. All matches kick off at 3.45pm unless otherwise stated.
