Naps take Big Four advantage National Under-20 standout Jabari Mitchell opened and closed the scoring, while his T&T teammates Nicholas Dillon and Martieon Watson got one each to put Naparima in prime position to seal the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) double with a 5-2 away rout of Speyside Secondary. Naparima, which entered the match trailing St Anthony’s College on goal difference, went above the “Tigers” as the latter team only edged San Juan North Secondary 4-3. The results ruled Speyside and San Juan out of contention for the title, while it opened the prospect of an exciting finale to the competition. Naparima College will host St Anthony’s College in the third and final Big Four round robin match, at Lewis St, San Fernando, on Saturday. San Juan took the lead over St Anthony’s after securing a winning result, which reflected an easy outing in Tobago. However, Speyside put on a good challenge particularly late in the first half and early in the second. Naparima went 2-0 up in the 20th minute. Mitchell and Dillon scored within 60 seconds of the other. Speyside then responded in the 29th through top forward Brandon Benjamin, and got the equaliser five minutes into the second period. But, two minutes later, Naparima retook the advantage with a goal from Watson, before substitute Akinola Gregory scored an insurance item in the 75th minute. Mitchell then completed the rout with virtually the final play of the match. In Westmoorings, another national U-20 midfielder, Matthew Woo Ling opened for St Anthony’s, before Kwesi Allen secured a hat-trick to see the Premier Division runner-up to a narrow win. When the top two teams meet on Saturday, a draw would suffice for Naparima to claim the title. standings Teams Pld W D L F A Pts Naparima 2 2 0 0 7 2 6 St Anthony’s 2 2 0 0 7 3 6 San Juan North 2 0 0 2 3 6 0 Speyside 2 0 0 2 2 8 0 standings Naparima 5 (Jabari Mitchell 19th, 90th, Nicholas Dillon 20th, Martieon Watson 53rd, Akinola Gregory 75th) v Speyside 2 (Brandon Benjamin 29th, Marcus Caesar 51st) St Anthony’s 4 (Matthew Woo Ling, Kwesi Allen 3) v San Juan North 3 Source:: Guardian Sports The post Naps take Big Four advantage appeared first on Trinidad & Tobago Online. #trinidad
