The 2025 Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) premier division has reached a thrilling juncture, with St Benedict’s College emerging as the new frontrunners. On October 28, Naparima College, previously at the top of the 16-team table, were dethroned, setting the stage for an intense title race. St Benedict’s, the national intercol champions, now hold a narrow one-point lead over Fatima College, with Naparima and Presentation College San Fernando trailing closely behind. The league’s climax is set for November 3, when St Benedict’s and Naparima face off in a highly anticipated match at Lewis Street, San Fernando. Meanwhile, Fatima and Presentation College will be closely monitoring the outcome as they continue their own title pursuits. Naparima’s recent stumble, including a 3-2 loss to St Anthony’s College, has added unpredictability to the competition. With seven matches scheduled for October 31, including key clashes like St Benedict’s vs. St Mary’s College and St Anthony’s vs. Fatima, the league’s final weeks promise high drama. The postponed match between Naparima and Signal Hill further complicates the standings, as Signal Hill must now play eight games in a condensed period. As the season nears its end, every match could prove decisive in determining the 2025 SSFL champions.
