THE last four teams remaining in this year’s DIGICEL nationwide Schools KO football tournament have been confirmed and among them is the 5-time defending champions, Wismar/Christianburg Secondary School, who waltzed into tomorrow’s semi-final with an easy 6-0 drubbing of Tutorial Secondary, when quarter-final action climaxed at the Leonora Ground

yesterday.

The Cup holders, playing confident and, at times, exhilarating football, completely dominated their Berbician counterparts to set up a semi-final meeting tomorrow with Sir Leon Lessons (SLL).
Also securing a semi-final spot was the other Berbician quarter-finalist, Bush Lot Secondary, who also had little difficulty in getting past their opponents, Soesdyke Secondary by a 3-1 margin, for a meeting with Chase Academy in the other semi-final set for the Leonora Stadium.
In yesterday’s opening game, forward Titus Fraser blasted a hat-trick to propel Bush Lot into to their second semi-final berth in the history of the annual competition.
Fraser netted in the 4th, 14th and 80th minutes against a game Soesdyke side whose consolation goal came off of the boot of Tyrone Khan in the 24th minute.
In the feature game played under the lights, the defending champions made light work of Tutorial in a lopsided affair that indicated the Champs are out to take their 6th consecutive title. After a 17th minute conversion from just inside the area by Omar Brewley, the Lindeners toyed with their opponents for the remainder of the first period and failed to add to the score, as the ball was mostly played in the Tutorial half.

Within three minutes of the resumption, the lead was doubled by a well put- together play that started on the right side. The well- measured cross found an unmarked Amar Jones at the far post, and he rose to meet the ball and rocked the nets to double the lead and seemingly took the fight out of the Berbicians.
On the stroke of the hour the Tutorial side changed Goalkeeper and within five minutes Antoine Gill made it 3-0, and then seven minutes later Brewley netted his second goal. Jermaine Kingston then added his name to the score sheet in the 85th minute, and one minute from full time Shaquille Campbell completed the 6-0 rout.
Tomorrow’s opening semi-final will see Chase Academy against Bush Lot Secondary, after which SSL will try to end the reign of Wismar/Christianburg Secondary.
