PELE, Black Water, Bacon and Georgetown Football Club (GFC), all booked their places in the semi-finals of the Frank Watson Memorial Football Tournament which continued yesterday at the GFC ground.

Pele edged Camptown 3-2 with goals coming from Leon Richardson in the second and 30th minutes, while the team’s third goal came off the boot of Akosi Jarvis in the 32nd minute.
Alonzo Ferdinand and Shamar DeMattos responded for Camptown in the 16th and 36th minutes respectively in the team’s losing cause.
Black Water on the other hand edged Fruta Conquerors 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out after the two teams were locked 0-0 at the end of the 40-minute regulation time.
Beacon then got the better of Santos, winning by a 4-2 margin in a penalty shootout after the two teams were locked 0-0 at the end of regulation time. GFC, through goals from Martin Carter and Stephan Laroc in the 7th and 33rd minutes respectively gave their team a 2-0 victory against Western Tigers.
Several protests have been made regarding the ages of some players from various team and the organisers indicated that they will have this sorted out by tomorrow.
Should any of the teams that fielded overage players be guilty of same, that team would be disqualified, even if they had won their game yesterday, and their respective opponents will replace them in the semifinal.
Only Saturday, Pele were disqualified from the Under-15 age group category of the tournament despite a 3-1 victory over Camptown, as it was discovered that Richardson who scored a double yesterday, was over 15 years of age.
Meanwhile, the semi-final, third place playoffs and the final of the Under-17 category will be contested next weekend.
According to the organisers of the tournament, each participant of the tournament will receive uniforms, school stationery and equipment at the conclusion of the tournament.
