The home of Trinidad and Tobago football

ST BENEDICT’S College football head coach Randolph Boyce said the coaching staff showed their players past tapes of the school’s illustrious days in an effort to ignite the fire in them for the 2022 season. It seemed to spark the players as St Benedict’s lifted the 2022 Tiger Tanks Secondary Schools Football League premiership division title, on Wednesday.
“MOVE over San Juan and let Fatima pass!” That was the cry of Fatima College students after the school’s premiership football team emerged with a narrow 1-0 win over San Juan North Secondary in the semifinals of the Secondary Schools Football League Premiership division on Saturday.

There is no denying that Trinidad and Tobago football is nowhere near where it needs to be.
