SSFL 2024: Fatima travel to St Augustine, “Pres Lions” host E/Mucurapo—full Premier fixtures

Reigning Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Premier Division champions Fatima College will kick off their title defence away to newly promoted St Augustine Secondary on Warren Street, as the 2024 top flight schools football season kicks off on Wednesday 11 September.

St Augustine, who were relegated in 2022, bounced straight back to the Premier Division and lifted the 2023 National Big Five title on the way. The Green Machine will have an immediate test of their readiness against the northern giants, who were also National Under-16 champs in 2023.
