Friends Boys School has been unable to find their groove and is out of the playoff picture with four losses. However, they have one final game this coming Friday against All Saints to at least get one victory to finish the tournament.
St. John?s Anglican continues to top Group A and has secured a spot in the playoffs. They will face St. Mary?s in their final game on Tuesday. St. Mary?s can make the playoffs, if the other teams comply. But that is wishful thinking, because they will first have to defeat St. John?s Anglican in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
In the second game, the girls from Queen?s Square Anglican and Central Christian battled to a nil-nil draw. Both teams are tied with Muslim Community with four points total. Unfortunately for Central Christian, they stand at third place with no more games to play and are out of the playoffs. Queen Square Anglican holds second place but are not in the clear yet. Muslim Community and Saint Martin de Porres are still in contention.
No games were played on Monday due to some schedule adjustments. However, on Tuesday, February 28, the girls from St. John?s Anglican stunned St. Mary?s with a late goal with five minutes remaining in regulation from Britney Belisle.
