Jarryon Paul fired in two goals as Queen's Park II crushed Petrotrin 5-1 in clash of unbeaten teams to make it four wins from as many matches in the inaugural Queen's Park Cricket Club Hockey Festival on Thursday night.
In addition to Paul, Mark Ayen, Jordan Reynos and Marcus Pascal added a goal each for QPCC II while Shaquille Daniel got Petrotrin's lone reply at the Queen's Park Oval, Tragarete Road.
With the win, Queen's Park II improved to maximum 12 points from four matches, three ahead of the Oilmen and Queen's Park I, which spanked Courts Malvern, 4-1 led by a double from Dominic Young.
Jerazano Bell and Nicholas Camacho also found the target for QPCC I, to cancel out Teague Marcano's consolation strike for Malvern.
In the other men's match, Fatima led by a hat trick from Jordan Vieira blasted Paragon 6-3.
However, in the women's Open, Paragon continued its 100 per cent winning record, blanking Magtastic 2-0 with Gabrielle Thompson and Alanna Lewis the scorers, for a third straight win, and certain of a place in today's semifinal ahead of last night's final round of preliminary matches.
Pink also cemented a semifinal spot with a similar 2-0 defeat of Guyana's Hikers for their third win as well thanks to goals from Mika Ella Tang and Brittney Hingh.
In the mixed division, Petrotrin edged Paragon 2-1 to end its three-match Pool A series with six points the same as Drinks United, but with an inferior goal difference of plus-two to its rivals, plus-three and must hope that Malvern which has three points and a failed to beat winless Paragon, by a big margin to edge into the semis.
And in Pool B, Hikers also won 2-1, over Coal Pot to lead with six points, two more than its opponent with a match left against Don't Trust Us (one point) for each team.
And in the veterans, Shiraz Ali scored three goals to lead Fatima to a 5-0 drubbing of Carib and a semifinal meeting with Queen's Park.
