A strike on the hour-mark from pro­lif­ic teenaged for­ward Shack­iel Hen­ry dou­bled with a first-half ef­fort from An­dre Quashie hand­ed Siparia Spurs a com­fort­able 2-0 win over West­side Su­per­starz to fur­ther dis­tance the South-based club from a heat­ed blink/bmo­bile Na­tion­al Su­per League rel­e­ga­tion bat­tle.

The fix­ture was one of three played on Sun­day, to­geth­er with a win for sec­ond-from-bot­tom and reign­ing cham­pi­on WASA FC's and a 2-2 draw be­tween third-from-bot­tom Bethel and 1976 FC Phoenix. Bethel sal­vaged a late point thanks to an added-time goal from for­mer T&T de­fend­er Makan His­lop.

Spurs' win kept it four points ahead of the three-team rel­e­ga­tion zone. WASA, mean­while, claimed a 2-0 win over rock-bot­tom FC San­ta Rosa, via late goals from Jabari Raphael (79th) and vet­er­an strik­er and for­mer T&T stand­out Gary Glas­gow (89th). The vic­to­ry was WASA's sec­ond in suc­ces­sion, in what ap­pears to be a last grasp at sur­vival with few match­es re­main­ing in this sea­son's com­pe­ti­tion.

On Fri­day, Guaya Unit­ed com­plet­ed the dou­ble over for­mer long-stand­ing league leader Club San­do, with a 2-1 win. Guaya, with two match­es in hand, will have the op­por­tu­ni­ty to win the league out­right if it can take max­i­mum points from the next sev­en match­es.

Mal­abar FC, which leads the stand­ings on goal-dif­fer­ence over Club San­do, was on a bye for the week­end.

At the con­clu­sion of the league, three teams will be rel­e­gat­ed while two will be pro­mot­ed from the Cham­pi­ons of Cham­pi­ons Su­per League qual­i­fi­ca­tion tour­na­ment.
