Terryl Elwin netted a double as San Juan Secondary Comprehensive upset Arima Senior Comprehensive 2-0 as action continued in the East Zone of the British Gas Secondary School Football League yesterday.
San Juan, playing at home, got the support it needed on and off the field to pull-off the win and break the second-place tie with the “Dial Dynamos.”
Arima now shares the third spot with Hillview College, who drew 1-1 with El Dorado Senior Comprehensive in another East Zone match.
Carlyle Mitchell gave Hillview the lead to close the first half, with a header from a free kick taken by Kevin Lewis just outside the right of the penalty box.
Honourable mention must be given to goalkeeper Bevon Francois, who saved two penalties on either side of the halves.
However, the “Blue Thunder” was rescued by Dwight Crichlow, who equalised to close the match.
Anderson Cadet showned for Valencia High School with three goals but the Valencia “Diamond Cutters” had to settle for a 3-3 draw with Barataria. Keston Samuel netted two, Jonathon Romaine the other goal for Barataria.
