Af­ter more than 62 goals scored in the quar­ter­fi­nal round of the Na­tion­al Co­ca-Co­la In­ter­col Play-off, yes­ter­day, 11 teams sealed Zon­al semi­fi­nal places, in­clu­sive of San Juan North, Na­pari­ma Col­lege, Cara­pichaima West Sec­ondary, and Spey­side High School.

In the East zone at the Bourge Mu­la­tresse Ground in San Juan, the home team was ex­treme­ly ruth­less against El Do­ra­do West Sec­ondary, crush­ing them 8-0.

The win came cour­tesy of braces from tal­ent­ed mid­field­er Lin­dell Sween, con­tin­u­ing to stand out in the Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) to date, Ja­heim Dan­clair and the equal­ly-tal­ent­ed Nathan Quashie.

The El Do­ra­do lads, strug­gled in the Cham­pi­onship Di­vi­sion this sea­son and failed to im­prove their for­tunes yes­ter­day as they found it hard to mount any sort of re­sis­tance.

Na­pari­ma Col­lege on the oth­er hand, made light work out of the St Madeleine Sec­ondary, de­spite re­mov­ing their en­tire coach­ing staff af­ter plac­ing third in the stand­ings in the Pre­mier Di­vi­sion of the SS­FL.

At the Lewis Street Recre­ation Ground in San Fer­nan­do, Na­pari­ma Col­lege warmed up with a brace each from Jaron Pas­call in the 12th and 23rd and Tevin Pan­tor in the 31st and 80th minute in thrash­ing St Madeleine 5-0 for the right to ad­vance to the south semis.

The oth­er Naps goal came from the boot of Xar­i­on France in the 74th minute.

How­ev­er, the Cen­tral zone was al­so abuzz with ac­tiv­i­ties. Cara­pichaima West Sec­ondary was par­tic­u­lar­ly lethal on Cou­va East Sec­ondary, ham­mer­ing them 12-0.

The Cen­tral Gi­ants were led by a beaver-trick from Jay­don Bartholomew (4) and a hat-trick from Supreme Out­ar, while Kar­mali Wil­son, Josi­ah Christo­pher, Ryan De­venish, Miguel Chin­holm and Dar­i­on Boswell were the oth­er scor­ers.

And in the sis­ter isle of To­ba­go, Spey­side wast­ed lit­tle time in crush­ing Good­wood High 10-0 at the Black Rock Recre­ation Ground to earn the right to face the win­ner of Scar­bor­ough Sec­ondary and Ma­son Hall Sec­ondary in the semis.

The Spey­side lads ben­e­fit­ed from hat-tricks from Shyan George in the 1st, 58th, and 61st min­utes, and Riquelme Phillips in the 54th, 59th and 64th.
