In the other semi-final Paul Bogle created history by advancing to their first final. They defeated Manchester High 1-0 in extra time after the teams played to a goalless draw in regular time at Prison Oval in Spanish Town.
Paul Irons scored the all-important goal for Paul Bogle, who became the first team from St Thomas to qualify for either the daCosta Cup or Ben Francis Knockout final.
