GEORGETOWN Football Club (GFC) will take on Police in the final of the Corona Beer Invitational tournament in less than seven days’ time at the GFC ground, Bourda.

The two teams had very different paths to their respective final spots.
In the first semi-final at the GFC ground on Sunday evening, the hosts railroaded Northern Rangers 3-0 after some stunning football.
GFC always looked positive and heightened their playing spirit, leading to their first goal in the 14th from Benjamin Opera.
He followed up just after the half and latched on to the end of a beautiful pass to score his and GFC’s second of the night in the 55th minute, to set his side on the path to victory before Dwayne Roberts closed off the show in the 64th.
In the second game, however, it was an absolute nightmare for both sides as four red cards were shared equally between the two teams.
Quincy Holder of Police and Barrel Tyrell were both ejected in the 31st minute after an on-field altercation leaving both teams down to 10 men before the first-half whistle.
Eventually, Western suffered further loss when Linden Pickett departed for a brutal challenge in the midfield, sending the fans on the sidelines into frenzy.
It wasn’t long after, that Lerone Charles in the 72nd got his marching orders back to the pavilion after a two-feet lunge on an opposing player.
In the end, Dwain Jacobs secured the winning goal for Police and put them through to the final.
Western will now have to play Northern Rangers for third place.
