'Pres' face struggling Fatima

Un­beat­en 'Pres' as the team is com­mon­ly called, will take on low­ly Fa­ti­ma Col­lege at the Man­ny Ramjohn Sta­di­um, Mara­bel­la from 3:40 pm. The south­ern­ers are fresh from a 1-0 tri­umph over dif­fi­cult cam­paign­ers at home- Trin­i­ty Col­lege East at Arou­ca on Wednes­day and will fan­cy their chances this af­ter­noon in­side their own back­yard.

Fa­ti­ma has strug­gled to find its form this sea­son and found it­self in the rel­e­ga­tion zone. If the team failed to se­cure much-need­ed points in the re­main­ing four match­es then next sea­son could see the Mu­cu­rapo road school cam­paign­ing in the cham­pi­onships di­vi­sion.

'Pres' on 28 points af­ter 10 match­es, a mere three points ahead of the team's clos­est chal­lengers San Juan North Sec­ondary, whose un­beat­en run for the sea­son was snapped by St Au­gus­tine ear­li­er this week, re­mains in the ti­tle hunt. The San Juan boys, how­ev­er, are still in the sec­ond po­si­tion with 25 points and will need to win against third on the stand­ings Na­pari­ma, at home.

A bye this week kept Na­pari­ma on 22 points for the past two round of match­es, but coach An­gus Eve and his troops will be fac­ing the game of their lives. Like Trin­i­ty Col­lege East, the San Juan lads are dif­fi­cult con­tenders at home, but to­day they will at­tempt to up the ante, af­ter Wednes­day's de­mor­al­is­ing re­sult in Srt Au­gus­tine. All match­es be­gin at 3:40 pm.
