CARAPICHAIMA Senior Comprehensive continued their climb up the ladder of the East/Central Zone of the BWIA Secondary Schools Football league, with a 2-1 win over Presentation College, Chaguanas on Saturday.

In the Central 'Derby' contested on a good playing surface at Carapichaima, the home team had the benefit of an own goal 10 minutes from full time, to pick up another valuable three points. The win pushed 'Caps' into fifth position with eights points after seven rounds of matches. 'Caps ' have secured two victories and two draws in its last four games, while 'Pres' have two points and are at the bottom of the standings after the first stage of the competition.

The 'derby' was played in a cordial atmosphere, with 'Caps' enjoying the better of the exchanges in the first part of the game. And it was no surprise when skipper Justin Hamilton scored with a header in the 30th minute, from a right-side cross provided by Maurice Parkes. The homesters went into the interval with a 1-0 lead. On the resumption, 'Pres' pressed for the equaliser and was rewarded when Michael Greene headed home in the 60th minute from a right-side corner.

The teams had an equal share of the exchanges in the remaining period, until 'Caps' broke the deadlock, when a shot was deflected into the goal by a 'Pres' defender. Caps' will host El Dorado in the second stage of the competition on Wednesday, while Presentation will be on the road to St Augustine Senior Comprehensive.
