Defending champion Tivoli Gardens put their Claro KSAFA Jackie Bell knockout title on the line this Sunday when they play Cavaliers in one semi-final at the Harbour View Mini-Stadium at 6:00pm.

In the other semi-final, Boys’ Town tackle August Town in an all premier league clash in the curtain raiser starting at 4:00 pm.

Tivoli Gardens, which turned back the challenge of premier league leader Harbour View in the quarter final, should prove too much for Super League leader Cavaliers.

Tivoli defeated Harbour View 3-1 on aggregate after battling to a 1-1 draw in the second leg. They had won the first leg 2-0 at home.

Meanwhile Cavaliers upset Waterhouse on the away goal rule after playing to a 1-1 at Drewsland last Wednesday. The first leg ended 0-0.

Despite their heroics, Cavaliers will find it extremely hard to deny Tivoli Gardens from advancing to the finals.

The other semi-final should be very intriguing as August Town seem to be finding their footing at the right time and Boys’ Town must be careful despite their big 13-2 aggregate quarterfinal win.

The Red Brigade outclassed Major League outfit Greenwich Town 11-0 in the second leg at Collie Smith Drive after playing to a 2-2 draw in the first leg at Tinson Pen.

While August Town turned back the inconsistent premier league team Arnett Gardens 3-0 on aggregate after playing to a 0-0 draw in their first encounter.

August Town have climbed out of the premier league relegation zone winning three of their last four games into seventh spot and should give a good account of themselves against Boys’ Town.

Rockfort rock Central Kingston in Major League feature

A 66th minute strike from Leon Maduro gave Rockfort a hard-fought 1-0 win over Central Kingston in their top-of-the-table Claro KSAFA Major League clash at Winchester Park on Saturday.

Rockfort which started the day three points behind in second spot, are now level with Central Kingston on 33 points but remained second with an inferior goal difference.

Central Kingston remained in pole position with a goal difference of plus 24 after scoring 32 goals and conceding eight times. Rockfort have scored 32 while conceding 12 for a plus 20-goal difference.

With seven sets of games remaining, it will be an intriguing run to the wire for the title in what is turning out to be a two horse race. Central Kingston’s Ricardo Taylor was red carded in the 43rd minute to give Rockfort the ascendancy before they lost Twaine Winter two minutes before full time.

At the Edward Seaga Stadium, home team Police National missed a glorious chance to close the gap on the leader after playing to a tame 0-0 draw with lowly Olympic Gardens.

However, they stayed third on 27 points, six behind leaders Central Kingston and Rockfort while Olympic Gardens remained 11th spot with nine points.

At Vauxhall High School, Brown’s Town rebounded from last week’s defeat to score an exciting 3-2 win over Cooreville Gardens.
Daniel Gilzene scored twice for Cooreville in the fourth and 60th minutes but could not prevent Brown’s Town from securing their fourth win of the season.
Ricardo Sinclair in the 13th levelled the game before Graeme Green gave the East Kingston team a 39th minute lead. But it took an 89th minute goal from Trevor Campbell to seal the win for Brown’s Town.
Brown’s Town climbed a spot into seventh on 20 points while Cooreville stayed in 10th spot on 12 points, just above the relegation zone.

It took a last minute goal from Everton Mattis for Liguanea to peg back Molynes United to a 1-1 draw at Jamaica College.

Sydney Manyon had given the visiting Molynes a 10th minute lead and looked well on their way to their second win in their last three games.

But that was not to be as Mattis had other ideas and struck in the 90+ minutes for a share of the spoils. Liguanea inched to 21 points in sixth spot while Molynes stayed ninth five points behind.

Fourth-placed UWI scored the biggest win of the round trouncing Swallowfield 4-0 courtesy of a double strike from Anthony Grant in the 29th and 63rd minutes respectively.

Yashiema Love in the 52nd and Kenrick Brown in the 53rd completed the rout for UWI which was notching their eight win from 15 games.

UWI moved to 26 points and closed the gap on third-placed Police to just one point while Swallowfield which was losing their 11th game from 14 matches, remained rooted to the bottom on five points.

Greenwich Town continued their good run with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Whitfield Town at Tinson Pen.
Damion Campbell had given the home team a 21st minute lead before Kemar Haynes equalized for Whitfield four minutes later. An own goal in the 39th and David Shultz 62nd minute goals ensured that Greenwich Town stayed fifth on 24 points.

Shultz now moves a clear second in the goal-scoring chart to nine goals only one behind teammate Ricardo Monroe on 10.

Whitfield Town with their fifth loss of the season slipped a spot to eight on 17 points.
