San Juan North Sec­ondary School, led by in­flu­en­tial duo Lin­dell Sween and Nathan Quashie, will be hop­ing to main­tain or even stretch their lead at the top of the 16-team Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) Boys’ Pre­mier Di­vi­sion when they trav­el to Spey­side Sec­ondary Wednes­day for a 3.30 pm clash at Spey­side Recre­ation ground in To­ba­go.

San Juan North, un­der the su­per­vi­sion of long-serv­ing coach Jer­ry Moe, goes in­to the match with 21 points from eight match­es, two more than na­tion­al In­ter-Col cham­pi­on Fa­ti­ma Col­lege while four-time for­mer win­ners Na­pari­ma Col­lege sits third with 18 points, one ahead of an­oth­er for­mer cham­pi­on Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege of San Fer­nan­do. St An­tho­ny's Col­lege and Ari­ma North Sec­ondary are next with 15 points, one ahead of de­fend­ing cham­pi­on St Bene­dict's Col­lege with Spey­side, a fur­ther point back in the eighth po­si­tion.

So far this sea­son, San Juan North has rat­tled off three wins from as many match­es on the road, 2-0 over Pre­sen­ta­tion, 2-1 at Queen's Roy­al Col­lege and 1-0 over Ari­ma North and buoyed by their 6-0 thrash­ing of Bish­op's High School on Sat­ur­day at their San Juan home ground, will trav­el to the sis­ter-isle brim­ming with con­fi­dence.

On the oth­er hand, Spey­side has proved to be tricky op­po­si­tion at home, hav­ing se­cured vic­to­ries against Bish­op's High (3-1) and East Mu­cu­rapo Sec­ondary (2-1) while hold­ing Pre­sen­ta­tion to a 1-1 draw, with a 1-0 loss to Fa­ti­ma their lone blem­ish, and will be ea­ger to slow the ti­tle march of the vis­i­tors to­day.

In oth­er key match­es, Fa­ti­ma makes the short jour­ney to Mar­aval Road to face Queen's Roy­al Col­lege (QRC) while Na­pari­ma en­ter­tains Bish­op's High at Lewis Street, San Fer­nan­do; St Bene­dict's hosts Pre­sen­ta­tion at Ma­haica Oval, Point Fortin, and St An­tho­ny's is at home to Mal­ick Sec­ondary in West­moor­ings.

In the oth­er match­es, Ari­ma North and East Mu­cu­rapo meet at the Ari­ma Mu­nic­i­pal Sta­di­um, Trin­i­ty Col­lege East and St Mary's Col­lege square off at Trinci­ty, and cel­lar-placed duo Pleas­antville and Ch­agua­nas North do bat­tle at Yolande Pom­pey recre­ation ground in Princes Town.
