Today, matches continue at the same venue from 3.15 pm with Holy Name Convent and South East Port-of-Spain squaring off in a girl’s contest followed by QRC and South East Port-of-Spain boys one hour later.

The league comprises six boys teams and five girls teams in all, with matches being played every Wednesday and Friday until February 28.
For the schools which have recently become involved in the TTHB’s Development Programme the TTHB will host its Secondary Schools Minor-League Tournament on March 21 from 8 am to 5 pm at the National Hockey Centre, Tacarigua, for schools in the North, West and East Zones and at Debe High School, Debe for schools in the South and Central Zones.
