Secondary School Football League (SSFL) Premier Division leaders Naparima College can ill afford to slip up today when they tackle Carapichaima East at Carapicahaima today.
Currently on 25 points, they are being chased by one-time leaders St Anthony’s College. The Tigers, on 24 points, host Chaguanas North in Westmoorings.
Carapichaima are in ninth with 12 points and seems to be the better of the two opponents on bare form while Chaguanas North are languishing two spots from the bottom on nine points. Those are two of seven games in this division today.
In Arima, the hapless Arima North, situated in 13th spot on seven points tackle third-placed San Juan North (22 points) who are looking to keep pace with the top two teams.
Fourth-placed Shiva Boys (21 points) have eighth-placed St Augustine (15 pts) as guests at Penal. At Trincity, fifth-placed Trinity East (19 points) oppose Fatima College in 10th spot (12 pts).
In a middle-of the-table fixture, St Mary’s College (7th on 15 points) travel to La Romain to meet St Benedict’s College (6th on 19 points).
Cellar-placed East Mucurapo (seven pts) will be looking to spring a surprise on Presentation San Fernando, 11th on nine points.
Across in Tobago, the situation at the top of the SSFL Tobago Zone standings is similar to the Premier Division.
Leaders Speyside (23 points) are just two points ahead of Signal Hill and will need to defeat fifth place Scarborough (6 pts) to keep pace because Signal Hill have a fairly easy assignment when they tackle Goodwood (4 pts) at Shaw Park in the seven team competition.
And in a middtle-of-the table clash Pentecostal L&L (3rd on 11 pts) go up against Roxborough (4th on seven pts).
