Annai Secondary created history in the Digicel Schools Football Championship, overcoming a 4-0 deficit to defeat DC Caesar Fox 7-5 in the second semi-final, last evening at the National Track and Field Centre, and earn the right to challenge defending champions Chase Academy in Sunday’s final.

The Region Nine titlist shocked the large gathering that had descended on the venue, outscoring the three time losing finalist and seven time Region Seven victor 6-1, after falling behind 4-0 in the opening 30 minutes.

A Reon McNaughton double in the fourth and 12th minute, alongside strikes from Alvon Hunter and Nadir Walker appeared to have settled the contest in favour of DC Caesar Fox.
