Pleasantville upset Naps

DERRON MATTHEWS’ 20th-minute goal allowed Pleasantville Senior Comprehensive supporters and their much improved team to celebrate a 1-0  victory over Naparima in their British Gas Secondary Schools Football League South Zone match at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella,  yesterday.

Before a buzzing 3,000-odd crowd, the Arnim Phillip-coached team scored  the second major upset for the season so far, following Fatima’s win over triple-crowned champions St Anthony’s on Monday. Yesterday’s historic triumph also kept the “P-ville Boys” unbeaten record for the season intact and a chance to stay in contention for their first zonal league crown. Matthews who has been Pleasantville’s chief marksman, obliged once again and stunned Naps supporters. In other South Zone matches yesterday, Lyndon Luke’s 60th minute goal  spurred defending champions Princes Town to a 1-0 win over Fyzabad at the Princes Town Senior ground, while Vessigny and Presentation, San Fernando, played to a 0-0 draw at the Mahaica Oval, Point Fortin.
