Knoxwood, Burton fight for semis spot
published: Saturday | June 3, 2006

ACTION CONTINUES this afternoon in the St. Elizabeth Co-Op Credit Union-sponsored St. Elizabeth Division One football competition.

Leeds take on Burton at Santa Cruz Community Centre while Knoxwood tackle Young Brazil at Mountain Side. Both matches begin at 3:30 p.m.

St. Elizabeth Technical (STETHS), Young Brazil and Leeds have already secured their spots in the semi-finals set to begin next Wednesday while Knoxwood and Burton are fighting for the final spot.

Meanwhile, in the parish's Alpart Division Two competition, North Hampton (nine points), Parottee United (six points) from Group B and Ginger (six points) from Group A have qualified for the semi-finals.

Arlington (three points) and Folly Police Youth Club (six points) will battle for the fourth and final semi-final spot at a venue and date to be announced.

In action on Wednesday, Parottee United defeated New Market 4-0, and Windsor failed to show for their game against North Hampton at Santa Cruz Community Centre.

On Tuesday, Ginger beat Arlington Police Youth Club (PYC) 4-2 while Folly Police Youth Club (PYC) beat Lacovia High School 1-0.

Also, the Major League first-leg final between Tafari Lions and Holland Police Youth Club will be played tomorrow at Munro College. Match time is 3:30 p.m.

Clarendon netball league heats up

The Jamalco-sponsored Clarendon Open netball league continues tomorrow with nine matches at Country Club, May Pen.

Four unbeaten teams, Jamalco, Blazer A, Windalco and Denbigh A, will be in action in the fifth round of matches.

Blazer A lead Group B with 12 points, Windalco and Denbigh A are on top of Group C with 12 points each while Jamalco lead Group A, also with 12 points.

In tomorrow's top matches Blazer A tackle Tidress and Denbigh A take on Longwood. Both these matches are set to start at 2:00 p.m.

Porus a win away from semis

With three places sewn up in the Captain's Bakery Manchester Major League, interest will mostly centre around who will cop the last semi-final spot in this weekend's close of the preliminary round.

The two games involving the main contenders are slated for the same time tomorrow as the local association attempts to guard against unfair juggling.

Neighbours Porus and Harmons Valley are caught in that jostle and will decide their own fate with victories. The two are locked on 17 points, with Porus having a +1 goal advantage and Harmons, a minus one difference.

Porus, who are coming off a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the already qualified Downs, appear to have the easier task ­ travelling to Hanbury to face Mandeville United who bowed out of contention with a 2-0 loss to Harmons last weekend.

Harmons have the game of their lives ­ a mission to convincingly defeat the competition's most consistent team, Hillstars.

Hillstars, the mid-season winners who racked up eight straight wins before two inconsequential losses to Mandeville United and Porus FC, reaffirmed their favourites tag by defeating second-placed New Green 2-0 last Sunday. It was an important statement ahead of the semi-finals.
