ANNANDALE were in top form on Thursday afternoon as they romped to the top spot of the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers school football league at the Ministry of Education (MoE) ground on Carifesta Avenue.

The team registered a 5-0 drubbing of Dolphin Secondary School.

The East Coast Demerara team with a total of five national players maintained their perfect record of eight wins from eight matches contested, taking their points tally to 24 and their goal difference to +26.

Colin Henriques (two goals) led the scoring for Annandale, who have two tough games remaining, against third-place Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) who have 20 points and second-place Lodge (24 points).

League leaders Lodge Secondary were scheduled to be in action against St Rose’s High in the feature clash yesterday evening.

However, a no-show by the Church Street team – who have registered just one win from eight games – robbed the in-form team of the opportunity of matching Annandale’s tally of five, scored yesterday, to retain their top spot.

The walkover gave Lodge three points and two goals, as stipulated in the rules of the league.

Annandale skipper Harrigan noted after his side’s 5-0 win in the reduced 20-minute per half clash against Dolphin that although his team is playing well there are still areas that need improvement and with three matches remaining, his troops need to hold their focus to clinch the league title.
