Nicholas Dillon scored a hat-trick as Naparima College crushed Chaguanas North 8-0 to maintain its top position in the premier division of the BGTT/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), at Chaguanas, yesterday.
Dillon was on target in the 20th, 48th and 64th minute as “Naps” kept its one point advantage at the top of the standings after ten rounds of action. Chaguanas was still in with a chance at halftime, as Naparima led 2-0 behind Dillon’s first goal and Jabari Mitchell’s item in the 30th minute.
However, Chaguanas fell apart in the second half conceding six goals. Jeremiah Kazar and Isaiah Hudson were also among the scorers. It was raining goals in Westmoorings, as home team St Anthony’s thumped north rivals Fatima 6-1.
National youth player Matthew Woo Ling struck a second half hat-trick (60th, 71st, 90th +2) as the “Tigers” held on to second place in the standings. Also finding the back of the net for St Anthony’s were Kwesi Allen (32nd), Andrew Rullow (63rd) and Raheem Borde (75th).
Also recording victories yesterday were Presentation College (San Fernando), San Juan North, Shiva Boys and Carapichaima East. The only draw on the day was a 1-1 finish between Trinity East and St Augustine.
