DEFENDING champions Barbican and Los Perfectos will contest the final of the Sherwin Williams/ColourScape KO competition following respective wins over Trelawny Women and Waterhouse at the Prison Oval yesterday.

Barbican waltzed into the September 11 decider with a comfortable 3-1 win, while Los Perfectos clipped Waterhouse 2-0 in the feature encounter.

A double strike by Jodi-Ann McGregor in the 15th and 73rd minutes, along with substitute Nadola Chase's 82nd-minute strike, paved the way for Barbican.

Substitute Kemulea Onroy, who replaced Yaneak Anderson the 58th, had pulled Trelawny level in the 60th with basically her first touch of the game.

Playing before a decent-sized crowd in Spanish Town, national player McGregor opened the scoring for the Charles Edwards-coached Barbican directly from a corner kick which beat goalkeeper Nicole Brown in the 15th.

Barbican continued to dominate with McGregor, captain Alicia James, the impressive Trudian Mills and Yanique Goldspring pulling the strings.

Edwards brought on the dangerous Chase at the start of the second half and within five minutes she should have scored a hat-trick and put the game to bed. However, she missed them all.

In contrast, Trelawny's coach Cassman Williams looked like a genius after bringing on Onroy in the 58th and two minutes later she was on the card, pulling her team level after 60 minutes.

But Barbican were not to be denied and McGregor ghosted in at the back post to tap home a James free-kick in the 73rd to restore the advantage.

Chase finally got onto the scoresheet after brilliant combination play from Shenique Smith and McGregor to seal the win in the 82nd.

While Barbican marched into the final, it was the second consecutive year that Trelawny were losing at the semi-final stage after their 2-4 penalty-kick loss against Waterhouse last season.

In the other semi-final, Los Perfectos of Manchester stunned ther opponents with an early goal from Sinell Briscoe in the third minute, before Nugene Nugent sealed the issue in the 90th.
