SUCCESS/LAVENTILLE, making their debut yesterday to top flight soccer in the North Zone of the BWIA Secondary Schools Football League, began their campaign on a winning note by shutting out Tranquillity 3-1 at Queen's Park Oval, Port-of-Spain.
One a damp outfield, Success displayed some slick-passing that had the Tranquillity side baffled.
They were rewarded with their first goal in the 34th minute when striker Shem Mc Farlane was brought down inside the 18-yard box and a penalty awarded. The spot kick was successfully taken by Kerry Joseph.
Ten minutes later Tranquility's goalkeeper Richard Arneaud mishandled a right side cross and Ian Mc Auley was on spot to tap home. In the second session, the Victoria Avenue boys created much more scoring opportunities, but could not convert them.
They eventually pulled one back 15 minutes into the half when Cetewayo Edwards' long range shot sailed into the net.
To add insult to injury Tranquillity had two players sent off - Jade Whiteman (67th) and substitute Kenty Drumant (78th).
Now down to nine men, Tranquillity were unable to stop Kendall Cadore from netting in the 82nd minute for Sussess' third goal.
Sussess play again tomorrow against Wednesday's winners St Mary's (3-2 over St Anthony's) on Saints ground, Serpentine Road.
