Subway to Glory: Who is your standout SSFL goalkeeper in 2026?

Fatima College captain Jahaem “Yellows” Bailey’s record goal scoring run rightly garnered much attention in the 2026 Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Premiership competition, with Naparima College forward Adasa Richardson’s coming of age also representing a highlight.

But what about the Premiership’s top goalkeepers this season? Who do you think deserves their flowers?

Is St Mary’s College custodian Donnell Thomas your favourite schoolboy custodian in 2026? Or Presentation College (San Fernando) veteran Marcelo Phillip? Or young Queen’s Royal College (QRC) goalkeeper Akinlade Jones?

Maybe St Anthony’s College’s Necose Moore or Signal Hill Secondary’s Kaleb Romeo… or someone else entirely!
