A beaver-trick from strik­er Lar­ry Noel led San Juan North Sec­ondary School to a more-than-con­vinc­ing 5-1 vic­to­ry over Queen’s Roy­al Col­lege (QRC) in Group B of the Pre­mier Di­vi­sion of the Tiger Tanks Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League at the San Juan School Ground on Wednes­day af­ter­noon.

The Roy­alians sought to put up a fight in the ear­ly mo­ments of the match, but Noel proved to be too much on the day. His enor­mous tal­ent be­came QRC’s con­cern from as ear­ly as the sec­ond minute when a one-two with Elizsha Rogers en­abled him to ex­ploit an open QRC de­fence on the left side and with the goal at his mer­cy, Noel hit low and hard in­to the va­cant far post for the 1-0 ad­van­tage.

How­ev­er, the San Juan cel­e­bra­tions were mut­ed less than a minute lat­er. Tau Lam­see ben­e­fit­ted from a blun­der in the cen­tre of the field and he ri­fled his ef­fort past goal­keep­er Xavion Haynes for the equalis­er in the 3rd minute.

The goal, how­ev­er, failed to pre­vent the dom­i­nance that fol­lowed, cour­tesy of the bril­liance of Noel. The pro­lif­ic strik­er sent his team 2-1 up in the 18th minute be­fore he gal­loped on to a through ball in the 41st minute, and de­spite the chal­lenge by QRC’s Mic­ah Nel­son, Noel kept his com­po­sure to beat She­muel Cas­sidy in the QRC goal for a 3-1 lead which they took to the half-time in­ter­val.

At the re­sump­tion, it was all San Juan North with at­tempts that went abeg­ging. But they would not be de­nied as Kedell Jones was gift­ed a through ball and he tucked it be­yond the dive of Cas­sidy to send his team 4-1 up in the 49th minute.

Noel lat­er com­plet­ed his rout from an­oth­er ball down the left side and from an acute an­gle, he beat Cas­sidy at his near post with a thun­der­ous left-foot­ed dri­ve that sealed max­i­mum points for his team in the group.
