FALMOUTH, Trelawny — The hunt for places in the finals of the Trelawny Football Association Monymusk White Overproof Rums Division One competition will start Saturday with the first leg of the semi-finals to be played at the Elliston Wakeland Centre, starting at 1:30pm.

Mid-season champions Salt Marsh which also finished with the most points, 28, will face Upsetters FC in one game, while All-Stars and Bacca Stars will square -off in the other.

The second leg will be played next week, at the same venue with the teams with the best aggregate over both legs advancing to the finals.

Despite finishing fifth overall in the final points table, Upsetters FC were included in the semi-finals at the expense of Muschett High School.

Muschett High had finished in fourth place on goal difference over Upsetters after both teams finished on 18 points, but league co-ordinator Marlene Brown told Observer West that the schoolboys were only allowed in the competition “for development purposes and were not eligible to contest the semi-finals”.

Meanwhile in last week’s final set of games, All-Stars beat North Star Academy 2-1 to finish second in the standings on 25 points, while Bacca Stars who beat Muschett High 1-0 were third with 21 points.

At Cedric Titus High, Nicholi Galloway scored two late goals to give All-Stars their win over North Star who were handed the lead in the 63rd minute by Romaine Nelson.

Galloway then drew his team level in the 76th before scoring the winner in the 82nd minute.

Carlton Drakes increased his league-leading tally to nine goals when he scored in the 70th minute in Bacca Stars’ 1-0 win over Muschett.

In another game at Rio Bueno, the home team blanked Friendship 3-0 with goals from Michael Bethune in the 48th minute, Rayon Broadie in the 70th and Ralston Knight in the 88th minute.
