They have now earned the right to challenge 2013 winner St. Pius in next week’s semi-final after the latter registered a 2-1 win over St. Stephen’s in overtime, while West Ruimveldt and St. Agnes are the other teams making it to the semi-finals.
The holders had to overcome a steely North Georgetown unit with Antwoine Vincent making the difference after he netted a spectacular goal that many feel is a strong candidate for Goal of the Tournament.

The battle for the 9-16 positions saw Tucville Primary beat Redeemer 4-0. John Harry scored twice in the second and 11th minutes, while Jamal Embrack and Ronaldo Gomes in the 19th and 28th minutes respectively.
Also, St. Margaret’s thumped Mae’s 4-0 compliments of a Mickelle Andrews helmet-trick in the 17th, 24th, 26th and 28th minute.
On the other hand, Winfer Gardens edged South Ruimveldt 1-0. Orlando Dickie scored in the 39th minute, while Stella Maris edged St. Agnes 5-4 on penalty kicks.
John Hynes bagged a brace in the 16th and 25th minutes for Stella Maris, while Tyrese Hart netted in the eighth and 24th minutes in a 2-2 stalemate.
