2023 NYFL round-up: QPCC, Ball Blasters and Crown Trace among weekend standouts

The North and Tobago Zones as well as two Girls Under-20 divisions joined the Republic Cup National Football League fray last weekend, as youth football continued across Trinidad and Tobago.

QPCC FC finished unbeaten across four divisions in the North, although they had to settle for a goalless draw against Trendsetter Hawks in the Under-20 competition.

And Ball Blasters Youth Academy distinguished themselves on the opening day in Tobago with wins in three divisions—including a 15-0 thumping of TJ’s Soccer School in the Under-13 category.

It was not the biggest result in the Sister Isle as Brother Ry Football Academy won 17-1 against the St Clair Coaching School. While, in Trinidad, Crown Trace FC’s Under-13 squad stormed to a 15-0 triumph over Talent & Energy FC and, in the East Zone Under-13 division, Trincity Nationals whipped Ultimate Unison 13-0.

One team again managed double figures in the older age groups and, this time, it was the Pro Series Under-17s who swamped Laventille United 16-0—with five goals from National Under-17 midfielder Tau Lamsee.
