SUPER LEAGUE hopefuls Boys' Town turned in a major shocker to deny Premier League top four team Waterhouse the chance of winning the KSAFA/NEM Jackie Bell KO Trophy for a third successive year.
The 'Colour Reds', a former kingpin, eliminated Water-house 2-1 at their Collie Smith Drive playfield yesterday to move into the semi-finals.
Rollin Francis was the hit man, scoring both goals against their Drewsland opponents, whose goal was scored by Damion Powell.
"Rollin Francis had a very good game, he ran hard at the Waterhouse team," Boys' Town's coach, Andrew Price, said.
"In a knockout competition there are always some giant-killing acts, sometimes the playing field becomes more level," he added. "We came prepared to challenge for every ball and whatever Waterhouse were going to do today they were going to do it under pressure."
Waterhouse are now going through a bit of a bad patch with two losses and as many draws in their past four NPL games. That plunge got bitter with the quarter-final defeat.
"We feel badly about it (the loss)," admitted Barry Brown, their assistant coach. "We thought we just gave up without a fight. The opportunity to have won three straight (titles), we see it as an opportunity lost."
In other games Arnett Gardens, fielding Kevin Wilson for the first time this season, had to wait until the last few seconds of added time to come up with the deciding goal from an unlikely source, central defender Alex Thomas' spectacular 'bicycle' kick, to beat Santos 1-0 at Tony Spaulding Sports Complex.
"I just wanted to get a shot off, I tried the 'bicycle' kick and it worked," exclaimed Thomas of his finish from the goalmouth with his back to goal.
Santos put up a determined effort and had a lot of possession, even though Arnett were more threatening. At one point late in the second half, the Super League mid-season champions felt cheated out of a penalty when referee Michael Mitchell gave striker Fabian Nethersole a yellow card for 'diving' when he went down under a challenge from Gregory Messam.
"I am very very pleased of the performance of the guys," Santos' coach, Carlton Dennis, said. "They showed a lot of character out there, and some of the calls were questionable, but we came here to play football and I think football won today."
Constant Spring, reduced to 10 men at the 32nd minute through Denzil Mitchell's expulsion for striking Robert Scarlett, also emerged with a 1-0 margin at home, beating Harbour View off a Nashaun Allen goal in a game where the teams shared domination of a half and got a fair share of chances while doing so.
"Some times the team with 10 becomes 12 because the players start working two times harder," Constant Spring's coach, Geoffrey Maxwell, said. "But it was a good win. It definitely gives us a push to go into the Premier League come Sunday."
Harbour View's Donovan Hayles complimented the victors, saying: "Honestly, I think Constant Spring played a very good game today. We weren't able to penetrate. They played with 10 men and we couldn't win, it's an epitome of how bad we played today."
In the other game Tivoli Gardens, fresh from their end of second round final success on Sunday, left it late to beat the Jamaica Defence Force at Up Park Camp where Christopher Nicholas' penalty enabled a 1-1 draw at full time. But Steve Green delivered the sudden-death goal to seal victory and a semi-final spot.
