Hillview College continued their impressive streak in the 2025 Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) First Citizens Boys’ ‘Big 5’ playoff, securing a commanding 3-0 victory over Mucurapo West Secondary on November 1. The match, held at Mucurapo West’s school grounds, showcased Hillview’s tactical prowess and determination to maintain their flawless record in the tournament. With two consecutive wins and a staggering +10 goal difference, Hillview is now a strong contender for promotion to the SSFL premier division in 2026. The game was a clash of contrasting styles, with Hillview’s patient passing game overpowering Mucurapo’s more direct approach. Mucurapo struggled to create significant chances, with their best opportunity coming in the fifth minute when striker Amenhotep Harper missed a shot over the bar. Hillview, on the other hand, dominated possession and tested Mucurapo’s goalkeeper Kenwyn Williams repeatedly. The breakthrough came in the 52nd minute when 15-year-old substitute Darnell Walcott volleyed in a close-range shot. Walcott’s stellar performance continued as he scored two more goals, sealing the victory and earning the Man of the Match award. Despite the loss, Mucurapo remains in second place, having won their opening game against Palo Seco Secondary. The tournament’s next matches are set for November 5, with Presentation College Chaguanas hosting Mucurapo and Palo Seco facing Speyside Secondary.
