IT ain't over till the fat lady sings. Queen's Royal College, at home, dominated most of their match against Trinity College, leading 3-1 in the second half, only to see Trinity get back well into injury time to draw in virtually the last kick.

This was as the BWIA Secondary Schools Football League continued in the north yesterday afternoon.

It was a match which saw the boys in blue running at their guests with attacks down both wings and as the Trinity goalkeeper, Abiola Benjamin, appeared a little uncertain, they scored in the ninth minute.

Two shots had been parried back into play and Mark-Anthony Williams finished the play when he pushed a simple side-footed shot into the goal. Sterling Brathwaite netted the second for the Royals and they went in at half time leading 2-1.

They stretched the lead to 3-1 when Ruel Rigsby beat an indecisive goalkeeper, heading a tame lob over his reach in the 55th. Almost from the kick off, Trinity struck back. The QRC keeper was caught in no man's land and Clinton Lawrence slipped a calmly taken shot past him.

The match had been inclined to be rough and from this point, tackles were even tougher, resulting in the Trinity captain being taken off and a total of four cards handed out in the match.

But the Trinity boys stuck to their guns, getting the equaliser through a brilliantly taken header by Oni Thomas from a left side cross.
