Jamaica Women's Premier League semi-finals continue Saturday at Centre of Excellence

The Jamaica Women's Premier League semi-finals move into the second-leg stage on Saturday, May 23, at the Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence, with two places in the final on the line.

The opening match is scheduled for 3 p.m., when Frazsiers Whip take on Real Mona. Frazsiers Whip enter the fixture with the advantage and are being billed as close to securing a place in the final, but the promotion stressed that the tie remains alive until full-time.

One speaker said the team’s target is to close out the campaign strongly after starting the season as defending champions. The stated aim was to carry that standard through the entire competition.

The second semi-final follows at 6 p.m., with Arnett Gardens facing Los Perfectos. Arnett Gardens hold the aggregate lead going into the match, but the contest is still being presented as one in which a single goal could shift the outcome.

A speaker for the trailing side said the focus would be on reassessing the first leg, dealing with injury concerns and trying to have players ready for the return match.

Another speaker noted that the opposition had been performing well and showing strong determination, adding that the players would not easily give up. The semi-final double-header will decide which teams advance and which sides end their run in the competition.
