Her­itage Pe­tro­le­um Point Fortin Civic will on Sat­ur­day at­tempt to join three oth­er teams in the semi­fi­nal of the T&T Pre­mier Foot­ball League (TTPFL) Knock­out play­offs when they take on Tiger Tanks Club San­do FC from 4 pm at the Man­nie Ramjohn Sta­di­um in Mara­bel­la.

Club San­do, the TTPFL qual­i­fi­er for the CON­CA­CAF Caribbean Shield next month, edged Cunu­pia FC 1-0 in a re­vised round of 16 fix­ture on Wednes­day at the same venue.

Their win came cour­tesy of a Nicholas Dil­lon strike that put them on a col­li­sion course with the Point Fortin team that has been wait­ing since they de­feat­ed To­ba­go team 1976 Phoenix 2-1 at the Ari­ma Velo­drome on Ju­ly 1.

To date, the trun­cat­ed League win­ner De­fence Force has booked a spot in­to the semi­fi­nals, along­side Po­lice FC and Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers, who shocked AC Port-of-Spain 2-1 at the Velo­drome on the week­end.

The win­ner of to­day's en­counter will face the De­fence Force on Tues­day at the first match of a dou­ble­head­er at the Diego Mar­tin Sport­ing Com­plex, while the Law­men and Rangers will tan­gle in the oth­er semi­fi­nal.

Club San­do will have the ser­vices of their new sign­ing, strik­er Kadeem Corbin who has just re­turned from T&T's hu­mil­i­at­ing 6-0 loss to the Unit­ed States in Group A of the CON­CA­CAF Gold Cup in the USA. With that loss, the So­ca War­riors were boot­ed out of the tour­na­ment.

Yes­ter­day, Club San­do man­ag­er Ed­di­son Dean said his team will not be at full strength for the match as de­fend­er Josi­ah Trim­ming­ham is cur­rent­ly away on tri­als in the USA. How­ev­er, he said he is not a be­liev­er in tak­ing any team for grant­ed as foot­ball is played and de­cid­ed on the day.

"It will no doubt be a com­pet­i­tive match. I do not think any team will have the ad­van­tage be­cause in a match any­thing can hap­pen. We will wait un­til lat­er to see what hap­pens," Dean said.
