It took 32 kicks from the penalty spot to crown this year’s Coca-Cola East Zone Intercol champions as Arima North edged San Juan North Secondary 15-14 to lift the coveted title.
Both teams played to a 0-0 result at the end of regulation time and had to take 16 shots each from the penalty spot, to derive a winner.
In the end, a title-winning save from Arima North goalkeeper Isaiah Diaz kept San Juan North’s kicker Kent Guy from forcing another round of kicks. His timely save gave the home team a nervy but well-deserved victory over the defending champions.
This was Arima North’s second East Zone Intercol title.
Both school teams had a tough time trying to break the deadlock in the opening half, and heavy showers in the second posed additional challenges for the players along the slippery Larry Gomes Stadium surface in Arima.

Despite San Juan North being favourites, and dominating the opening minutes courtesy Lindell Sween and E. Rogers, Arima showed fight and also threatened on the counter.
Goalkeepers Diaz and Xavion Haynes might have kept the ball out of their nets for 90 minutes, but they were both kept busy throughout, as both teams chased the opening goal.
For Arima, strikers Tyrell Stapleton and winger Jeremy Ashing kept pressing the former champions.
After the first 30 minutes, the heavens opened as both defensive backlines tried to close out attacks.
Into the second period, the Arima and San Juan squads cancelled each other out, and despite them trying to counter on each play, both keepers stood firm, while the soggy outfield also forced unwanted errors.
Arima’s Darion Marfan had a good chance for Arima in the dying minutes but he scuppered his opportunity. Similarly, San Juan’s Sween could have bagged the winner in the 91st but he also faltered in front goal.
With the match heading to penalty kicks, both teams scored their first ten shots and then missed their first sudden death kicks. They shot nine more times each, scoring all. Ashing then scored again to make it 15-14, before Guy’s shot was saved by Diaz, to hand Arima the trophy.

At-Large Councilman-elect Eric Garrett has been denied funding for his barber school and he feels the decision is for political and reasons.
POLICE Complaints Authority (PCA) director David West said for this year, a total of 713 complaints against police officers have been made to the authority. West added this is reflective of a trend of increasing complaints against police officers that began in 2014.
He made the comments during a meeting between PCA officials and members of the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) at the Red House, Port of Spain, on Wednesday.
West recalled that in 2014-2015, when he began his tenure as PCA director, the authority had 352 complaints against police officers.
He said, “By 2021-2022 that had increased to 569 complaints.”
This, West continued, was an increase of 66.7 per cent.
He partly attributed the 713 complaints before the PCA this year because people use social media to complaints directly to the authority.
PCA deputy director Michelle Solomon-Baksh said the complainants may be ordinary citizens (including the relatives of police officers) or police officers themselves.
She referred to cases where relatives of police officers made complaints to the PCA in domestic violence situations.
In response to a question from PAC member Opposition Senator Jearlean John, Solomon-Baksh said the PCA did not direct police officers to investigate complaints which were made to it.
“Legislation mandates that no police officer is to work at the PCA. We are a civilian oversight body. So we can’t have a police officer engaged in our exercise.”
She said when the PCA referred complaints to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for further action, the DPP could then issue further instructions to the police to complete further actions which were outside of the authority’s operations.
Responding to a question from John, West clarified the difference between complaints and initial reports. He said the latter happend when “complainants first come in to the PCA and make a report but it doesn’t quite meet the standards of our serious police misconduct or our legal remit.” The number of these reports increased from 552 (2014-2015) to 1,028 (2021-2022).
West said that was an 86 per cent increase. Complaints brought before the PCA are considered closed when they are referred to either the Commissioner of Police (CoP) or the DPP for action to be taken by these respective office holders.
West told PAC members that from 2014-2022, 354 and 93 complaints were respectively sent to the CoP and DPP for action.
After explaining that the authority receives between 400 to 500 complaints per year, Solomon-Baksh said complaints were investigated by six teams of PCA officials under the supervision of West and herself.
She added that some of the matters were criminal matters which, by law, must be brought before a court before six months.
“Those matters have to be dealt with by the authority and by the teams, within a short space of time.” In cases where the authority does not complete its work on these matters within six months, Solomon-Baksh said, “If the matter goes over, the matter doesn’t die.”
She added, “We
