Debe High continued their march to another title for the 2010 season when they defeated Senior Division champion, Vessigny Secondary 1-0 in the BGTT Girls InterCol South Zone final at Skinner Park yesterday.
Despite being armed with the talented national U-17 twins, Khadisha and Khadidra Debesette, the game favourites were always in control of the contest. Vessigny upset Championship Division teams, Point Fortin East Secondary (3-0) and Holy Faith Convent (3-2), to earn its berth alongside Debe High.
