St Michael South through to semi-finals

AN ARANTES LAWRENCE strike in extra time pushed St Michael South to a 1-0 victory over Christ Church West Central in a tense quarter-final of the David Thompson Memorial Constituency Councils Football Classic at Bagatelle on Saturday night.

It was a sweet victory for St Michael South as they had to await the verdict of the arbitration committee which was looking into their abandoned round of 16 match against the City of Bridgetown at Bayville eight days earlier.

That match was abandoned in the 76th minute after a player from the City assaulted one of the referees. That incident incensed the spectators who rushed on to the field when St Michael South were leading 2-1.
