Both the defending champions Wisburg Secondary and inaugural Champions Linden Foundation Secondary suffered heavy defeats by two times runners up C.W.S.S. and breakthrough talent Harmony Secondary respectively.
Due to instances of indiscipline both Jamal McKenzie (W.S.S.) and Jermaine Batson (C.W.S.S.) were debarred from any further participation in this year’s tournament.
The second semifinal round is scheduled to be played today, at the same venue, where both defeated teams will try to better their opponents and grab a qualifying spot, through the aggregate goal system being used, for the Grand Finale on Tuesday 3rd May, 2011, at the MSC Ground.
