St Ignatius of Region #9 sealed their maiden final appearance in the Digicel Schools Football Championship, defeating Region #1’s Waramuri 3-1 in their semi-final encounter on Wednesday at the Ministry of Education (MOE) ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Following a scoreless first half, Romel Ernest handed St Ignatius the lead following a 52nd minute strike. Morgan Taruma then doubled their advantage, as he found the back of the net in the 55th minute. Waramuri managed to reduce the deficit in the 68th minute via a Danesh Williams conversion.
However, the victory was sealed seven minutes later, as Ernest completed his brace. St. Ignatius will now battle Carmel Secondary of Georgetown for the coveted title on Sunday at the same venue from 19:00hrs, after the Georgetown unit defeated DC Caesar Fox in the first semi-final fixture.
