SSFL strips St. Benedict’s of League title after eligibility controversy
St. Benedict’s College has been stripped of the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) title after the organisers ruled that the tournament’s top scorer, Derrell “Zoom Zoom” Garcia, was not a bona fide student of the institution when he participated in four matches during the 2024 season.
By virtue of the ruling, St. Benedict’s were docked 12 of their 41 points and relegated to fourth on the final standings, as their victories against San Juan North Secondary (1-0), Fatima College (3-1), St. Anthony’s College (2-1), and Queen’s Royal College (2-1) have been forfeited.
