Clarendon College, St Benedicts in tomorrow’s final
JAMAICA’S Clarendon College will play Trinidad’s St Benedicts for Friday’s KFC Goodwill Football series trophy after both teams moved on following Tuesday evening’s clashes.
In the first of the two games, it was Clarendon who wasted little time in asserting their authority over Suriname’s VMO4 in a 3-1 fashion.

Romarion Thompson in the 16th minute opened the scoring for the Jamaican side before Daniel Clark’s 31st minute strike put them two ahead.
VM04 would try to stage a comeback in the second half, Justin Jackson finding the back of the nets in the 50th but an otherwise dominant Clarendon put the icing on the cake through Deandrae Gallimore (90th+2).

Meanwhile Guyana’s only hope of lifting the trophy went up in flames when St Benedicts needled Chase Academic Foundation.
A valiant fight by the hometown lads came down to a 90+3 minute strike which sank the hearts of those gathered the Ministry of Education Ground.

Chase took the fight to the outsiders with two tries in the first half hitting the bar.
While they came close to scoring on other encounters, their failure to finish when it mattered means that they must now play for third place.
Friday’s final is set for 20:00 hours.
