South premier teams run riot in Intercol zonal ‘quarters’

In a spectacular display of skill and dominance, Naparima College delivered a crushing 15-0 victory over Rio Claro West in the Coca-Cola Intercol south zone quarter-finals on November 17. The match, held at Lewis Street in San Fernando, saw Ryan Radellant emerge as the star player, scoring five goals and leading his team to their biggest win of the season. Radellant opened the scoring in the fourth minute and continued his relentless performance with goals in the 32nd, 46th, 50th, and 66th minutes. His teammates Mikhael Bullock, Elijah Edwards, Jayden Caprietta, Darius Procope, Shabani Thompson, and Xarion France also contributed to the overwhelming scoreline, securing an 8-0 lead by halftime. The second half saw Seth Eve, Riquelme Phillips, France, and Procope adding to the tally, completing the historic victory. Meanwhile, defending champions St Benedict’s College advanced to the semi-finals with a 7-0 win over Siparia West, and Presentation College San Fernando triumphed 16-0 against Point Fortin Secondary. In the north zone, St George’s College edged Trinity East 4-3 on penalties, while Malick narrowly defeated Trinity Moka 1-0. Last year’s SSFL premiership winners Fatima also progressed with a 3-0 win over East Mucurapo. In a separate development, Signal Hill is expected to receive three points after St Augustine Secondary failed to show up for their rescheduled match, potentially shaking up the league standings as the season nears its climax.
