The leadership of the CNG National Super League (NSL) Championship Division changed hands today as Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC) edged Prisons FC 1-0 at YTC in Arouca.
A second half goal from attacker Jerome Charles condemned Prisons to their first league defeat of the season and put the “Parkites” two points clear at the top of the Championship standings, although Prisons have a game in hand.
There was a shuffle between third and fourth too, as a Hector Sam hattrick helped Saddle Hill Hotspur skip to third place with a 5-0 mauling of Xtra Foods Chaguanas FC.
Saddle Hill remain tied on points with Cunupia United but now enjoy a superior goal difference. Cunupia were also on winners’ row this evening, as they edged Barrackpore United 2-1 thanks to strikes by Andrew Tinto and Eduardo Guedes.
The latter result, coupled with a surprise win by Edinburgh 500, saw Barrackpore slip to the bottom of the Championship standings.
Barrackpore managed just one win and a solitary draw from eight outings this season and are in danger of being relegated to the zonal level.

The bottom two Championship teams will be demoted at the end of the season.
Edinburgh 500 gave themselves a fighting chance of beating the drop this evening with a 2-1 win over Petit Valley United at home.
In today’s other fixture, the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) continued their charge into mid-table as a Jamal Creighton double helped the schoolboys to a 4-1 win over Malabar FC in D’Abadie.
