DEFENDING Republic Bank Limited Secondary Schools League Champions Chase Academy are set to battle in a top of the table clash with Waramuri Secondary.
The two will play out the final match-up on Sunday from 17:00 hours, while the day’s opening clash will see South Ruimveldt Secondary meeting President’s College.
While West Ruimveldt Secondary are set to match skills with East Ruimveldt.
Champs, Chase Academy, lead the points table with five wins in five, same as Dolphin who have also gone unbeaten but Chase hold onto the top spot by virtue of their superior goal difference of 26 goals.
Waramuri Top have lost a solidary clash with four wins in five games for 12 points, as they round out the podium positions.
Bartica with two wins and a draw are fourth, while West Ruimveldt with one win and draw on four points in fifth place in the eight-team league table.
Co-director of Petra Troy Mendonca says the next two rounds of the league will be exciting and crucial as teams seek the top spot.
“This game with Chase and Waramuri is going to be a very decisive game. Waramuri lost last week to Dolphin, so there is a situation where three teams are fighting for the top honors, Dolphin, Chase and Waramuri. So, if Waramuri beats Chase, it could be a big final showdown on the following Sunday, even if Chase wins it, it still will be because both Chase and Dolphin will be fighting for top honours.”
