Anse La Raye and Dennery have confidently secured their spots as finalists in this season’s SLFA Girls Under-15 Championship, following decisive victories in the semi-finals held at the Technical Centre in Grande Riviere, Dennery, last Saturday (January 10).

Despite starting the game with one player short, Dennery demonstrated resilience and skill, overcoming a determined Desruisseaux team with a 2–0 victory.

The East Coast team capitalized on key moments, scoring through an own goal by Paisley McFarlane in the 14th minute, followed by a solid goal from Trudy Joseph in the 25th minute.

While Desruisseaux needed to regroup after missing critical opportunities, Dennery seized their chances, sealing their victory with decisive play.
