Signal Hill Secondary School delivered a commanding performance on November 20, thrashing Trinity East 9-1 in their penultimate rescheduled match of the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) premier division. The victory, secured at their home grounds in Tobago, keeps their premiership title aspirations firmly alive. Immaual Wright, Kyle James, and Jedidiah Marcelle each scored twice, showcasing Signal Hill’s offensive prowess and tactical superiority. The match began with Wright assisting Morgan for the opening goal in the ninth minute, followed by Nickel Williams’ unexpected long-range strike two minutes later. James added a third in the 16th minute, and Wright capitalized on a defensive error in the 32nd to make it 4-0. Despite Trinity East’s goalkeeper Ishmael Wadi making several saves, Signal Hill continued to dominate, with Wright and James extending the lead to 6-0 by halftime. The second half saw Wright convert a penalty in the 58th minute, while Trinity East managed a consolation goal in the 71st. Marcelle sealed the emphatic victory with two late goals, bringing the final score to 9-1. Signal Hill now sits fifth in the standings with 28 points and two matches remaining. Their title hopes hinge on a pending disciplinary committee ruling regarding their November 17 fixture against St Augustine, which could potentially propel them to third place. A win in their final match against Malick on November 24 could set up a thrilling title decider against league leaders Naparima College.
