San Juan slip up late, draw with Signal Hill in SSFL

San Juan North Secondary School’s hopes of avoiding relegation in the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) premier division took a hit after a dramatic late equalizer from Signal Hill Secondary on November 4. The match, held at San Juan North’s home ground in Bourg Mulatresse, ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving San Juan perilously close to the relegation zone. San Juan had taken the lead in the 28th minute through Malique Marrast and seemed poised to secure a crucial victory. However, Immanuel Wright’s stoppage-time goal for Signal Hill dashed their hopes, leaving San Juan just one point above the bottom three. With the season nearing its conclusion, the bottom three teams will be demoted to the championship division. Signal Hill, currently tenth in the standings, still have seven matches remaining and could climb into the top five with a strong finish. The season has been challenging for Signal Hill, with many of their matches postponed due to transportation issues between Trinidad and Tobago. The standings show St Benedict’s leading the table with 33 points, while San Juan North languishes in 13th place with only 10 points.
