National forward Nicholas Grant completed a sensational weekend for Petrotrin with goals in a 2-1 win over previous leaders Queen's Park CC to go top of the Men's Championship Division table at Tacarigua.Grant found the back of the net in the 36th but Jordan Reynos drew the Parkites level in the 47th only to be red carded a few minutes along with Petrotrin's Bertrand Duncan.
With both teams down to ten-men, Grant then got the decisise item in the 54th minutes to hand his team a second win in as many days, and third of the season to lead maximum nine points, two ahead of Defence Force.Petrotrin had a much easier outing 24 hours earlier, a 4-1 bashing of Fatima led by a Wayne Legerton hat-trick and oen from Solomon Eccles, while David Lee was on target for the losers.
Also on Saturday, four different players were on target for Defence Force in a 4-2 defeat of Paragon 4-2. Brian Burrowes fired Defence Force into a fourth minute lead by national striker Akim Toussaint replied for Paragon five minutes later.
Anthony Morales (20th) and national defender Marcus James (34th) then netted to put the "Teteron men" 3-1 ahead but T&T forward Kiel Murray cut the deficit to 2-3 in the 42nd, only for his international team-mate Mickell Pierre to seal all three points for Defence Force a minute later.
And in Tobago, visiting Courts Malvern blanked Paradise 3-0 with Tariq Marcano scoring a pair and Christopher Lazar, the other.
