MOCHO, Clarendon — Edwin Allen High stayed on course to win back-to-back ISSA Ben Francis Knockout titles after eliminating Garvey Maceo High 2-0 in their quarter-final game at Garvey Maceo High on Friday.

After being eliminated from the DaCosta Cup competition a week earlier, Edwin Allen High rebounded from their loss to Central High to lead three other teams into the last four.

Former champions Glenmuir High and Rusea’s High are also into the semi-finals after wins over Frome Technical and William Knibb Memorial, respectively, while York Castle High knocked out Dinthill Technical after beating them on penalty kicks.

Edwin Allen, whose win in the Ben Francis KO last season was their first hold on an ISSA football title, got goals from Tajae Thomas and Patrick Harrison in their game as they remained on course for a second hold.

Glenmuir High cruised to a 4-0 win over Frome Technical who were winless in their last five games across the DaCosta Cup and Ben Francis KO competitions.

Tajaun Cummings scored a brace while Kyle Gordon and Deandre Johnson got the other goals as Glenmuir High stayed on course for a sixth hold on the title and first since 2009.

The other two games were decided on penalty kicks after deadlocks in regulation time; York Castle High beat Dinthill Technical 5-4 on penalties after they ended 2-2 at Mt Pleasant Football Academy in St Ann.

At the Colin Miller Sports Complex in Lucea, Rusea’s High got the better of William Knibb Memorial 3-1 from the spot after they played out a 0-0 draw in regulation time.
