Uitvlugt Secondary sealed their berth to the Region #3 semi-final round after edging Leonora Technical Institute (LTI) 2-0 in a physical affair yesterday in the seventh annual Digicel Schools Football Championships.

The fixture, which was staged at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora, was anything but a classic as both teams struggled to create opportunities against robust defending.

The large viewership would have to wait until the second period for the fixture to come alive with Uitvlugt given a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the 50th minute from the penalty mark, following a rash challenge inside the right of the box.
