Jordan Riley fired in the lone goal as defending champions, Presentation College of San Fernando edged Trinity Collge East 1-0 to move into a three-way lead at the top of the Shell/First Citizens Secondary Schools Football League Premier Division, yesterday.
Riley got the decisive item in the closely fought contest in the 34th minute for a ninth win in ten matches for 28 points, three clear of former joint leaders San Juan North Secondary, which was surprisingly vanquished 4-1 at East Zone rivals, St Augustine Secondary.

Jerry Morris pulled a goal back for San Juan in the 50th, but Dorion Sampson netted the fourth item for St Augustine in the 78th minute to kill off the contest.
In other matches, St Anthony's College slipped past Fatima College 1-0; Carapichaima East whipped St Mary’s College 3-1; Trinity College Moka battled past East Mucurapo 1-0; Queen’s Royal College blanked St Benedict’s College 3-0, and Bishop’s High and Valencia Secondary drew 1-1.

Presentation San Fernando notched their ninth win in 10 matches after defeating Trinity East 1-0 in Trincity. Jordan Riley got his name on the scoresheet, in the 34th, to secure full points for the 2017 title-holders.
