Jaffet Williams found the back of the net twice to help Senior Division champions Couva West to a 3-1 upset over Gasparillo in their Central Zone Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) Coca Cola Zonal Intercol quarterfinal, the second match of a double-header at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva, yesterday.

The home team which will be playing in next season’s league, took the lead in the first minute when Williams netted the first of his double.

Christopher Joseph then made it 2-0 in the 25th, as the underdogs went into the half with the advantage. Williams put the icing on the cake with his second goal in the 67th to make it 3-0, before Gasparillo got a consolation item from Jemal Callender two minutes later.

Couva will now take on defending champion Carapichaima in the first semifinal on Tuesday at the same venue. In the first match, a Sidel Diaz double and one from Travis Singh helped Tabaquite to a 3-2 win over Presentation College in their quarterfinal.

Singh gave Tabaquite the lead with a strike in the 10th minute, before Diaz netted his double in the 25th and 33rd for a 3-0 lead. Presentation got their hopes up with two strikes from Suraj Ramcharran in the 57th and Brian Charles in the 88th.

However, when the final whistle sounded they were a goal behind. Tabaquite will face Waterloo in semifinal action.

Today defending East Zone champion St Augustine will take on Senior Division champions Valencia East at the San Juan ground from 3.30, while National champions El Dorado will meet Trinity East at St Augustine ground for the same time.

North Zone league champion and national Big-Five finalist, St Anthony’s will meet Senior Division champions, Maple Leaf International in its quarterfinal, at Fatima ground from 3.45.
