- MARC STAMP STAR Writer

The JN Visa-Kingston and St Andrew Football Associatio­n (KSAFA) Jackie Bell knockout heats up with an allPremier league semi-finals double-header tonight at the Constant Spring Complex in St Andrew.

In the first game, defending champions Tivoli Gardens tackle Waterhouse, starting at 6:30 p.m., to be followed by Arnett Gardens against Harbour View at 8:30 p.m.

Spectators could be treated to some good football from four of the nation’s top clubs. The teams will come gunning for places in the final.

Tivoli knocked off Super League teams, Molynes and Rockfort on their way to the last four. Now, they are expected to get a hard fight from Waterhouse.

Both teams have good talent in all areas of the field. And, it could boil down to the team that wants it more.

Tivoli who are guided by Omar ‘Tiger’ Edwards, will rely on players such as veteran striker Jermaine ‘Teddy’ Johnson, captain Romaine Brackenrid­ge, André Moulton, Junior McGregor, among others, to advance to the final.

Waterhouse will come blazing with captain Nicholi Finlayson, Kemar ‘Bushy’ Beckford, Shawn Lawes, Ricardo Thomas and André McFarlane.

In the feature game, it could also be a close and competitiv­e affair.

The Jerome Waite-coached Arnett will look to captain Oneil ‘Bigga’ Thompson, Marvin Morgan, Renae Lloyd and goalkeeper Damion Hyatt.

Harbour View’s key players include captain Nicholas Beckett, Peter-Lee Vassell, Kemar Bennett, Christophe­r Harvey, Andrew Allen and Hugh Evans.

The winner of each game will advance to the final.
