With only four matches played, champions St Anthony’s College got a result which justified its title as season “favourites”, when the Westmoorings “Tigers” traveled to Serpentine Road, and left with a 3-0 victory, at the expense of St Mary’s College, in the BGTT/First Citizens Secondary Schools’ Football League (SSFL) North Zone, yesterday.
The 2011 “invincibles” opened with another goal from Kareem Corbin in the 12th minute, for a 1-0 lead at the half, before one of the outstanding talent’s of last season Adrian Millette slotted home a brace (47th, 57th), for a comfortable victory, least expected by coach Nigel Grosvenor, who previously described the test as a “difficult one”.
The result put St Anthony’s on 10 points from four matches, with the only points dropped coming from a 0-0 stalemate to newly promoted Diego Martin North Secondary. The win also saw St Anthony’s extend its unbeaten run to 23 matches since the beginning of last season’s campaign. St Mary’s, suffering its second loss, has lacked any creativity in the final third of the pitch as it has recorded just one goal in four matches.
Meanwhile, at Fatima Ground, Mucurapo, it was Diego Martin North which almost spoiled another party. In a scrappy affair, Fatima College managed to scrape a 1-0 victory over the Diego Martin team, thanks to another important goal from Arvin Prescod in the first half.
The zone’s other match saw QRC remain without a point as Trinity recorded its first victory of the season via a 2-1 victory.
 
Leader “Pres” whips Moruga 6-0 for fourth straight win
 
Presentation College San Fernando showed no mercy when it trounced a sorry Moruga team 6-0, at Moruga, to remain on top of the standings, with a perfect 12 points from four matches.
The team’s leading scorer for the past two seasons Shackiel Henry was on target with four goals (seven goals in four matches), with Jivaughn Dimsoy and Angel Williams adding one a piece to sink Moruga to yet another loss (its third in as many matches).
Shiva Boys, the reigning South Zone champions, meanwhile, also continued its winning ways with a narrow 1-0 away win over Princes Town, thanks to a match-winning first-half effort scored by none other than Nathaniel Garcia, who has bagged every goal and won every match for the team this season.
Shiva now sits three points behind Presentation, but with a match in hand.
Nicholas Dillon scored a hat-trick in Naparima’s 5-0 victory over second-from-bottom Pleasantville.
 
El Do East, San Juan win
 
El Dorado East and San Juan North both secured away victories over Trinity East and Toco Secondary respectively to join idle Arima North at the top of the East Zone standings with seven points each from three matches.
For El Dorado East, the “Blue Thunder” Gabriel Ragout scored in the ninth minute to tie up the score after David Lezama had given host Trinity a shock eighth minute advantage.
Mikal Primus then netted in the 28th minute to put the visitors ahead 2-1 which they took into the interval before Shaquille Bertrand added a 55th minute insurance item for the visitors. 
San Juan made the journey to Toco and came away with a 2-0 triumph via strikes from Corrie Dhanoolal in the 35th minute, and Brent Sam, the nephew of former national striker, Hector Sam, five minutes from full-time.
Meanwhile, Ricardo John scored in the 36th and 78th minute and Aikim Andrews in the 75th for the “Green Machine” of St Augustine to shut-out host El Dorado West, 3-0 in the zone’s other match.
