With three rounds to go, Naparima College will be keen to bag three more points in its attempt to close in on the title in the inaugural BGTT/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League Premier Division when it host Trinity East, at Lewis Street, San Fernando this afternoon. Kick-off is 3.45 pm.
The Southerners led by in-form national Under-20 trio Jabari Mitchell, Nicholas Dillon and Martieon Watson have surged to the top of the table with 22 points from nine matches, closely followed by previous leader St Anthony's and San Juan North, both with 21 while Trinity East is fourth, a further two points behind.
The top three teams from the premier division will play for the Big-four national title along with the top team in the championship division from Tobago.
A win for Naps will keep them on course for the title, while any other result will leave the door open for St Anthony's, which thrashed Fatima 6-1 for its first win in four matches on Saturday, and San Juan North to go to the top.
St Anthony's also face a tricky away match to Presentation College of San Fernando in the second game of a double-header at Guaracara Park, Point-a-Pierre from 5 pm while San Juan North is at home to St Benedict's, one of two teams still in the mix with 18 points.
In the first match at Guaracara, Shiva Boys, the other team with 18 points host Arima North, in the lone 3 pm kick off.
