Reigning champions Frazsiers Whip secured the Jamaica Women’s Premier League’s first semi-final berth in emphatic fashion on Saturday, routing Springers United 14-0 at Courtney Walsh Oval. The St Catherine powerhouse stretched its perfect run to 14 wins (42 points), locking in a top-four finish with six regular-season matches still on the slate.
Davia Richards, the league’s most lethal forward, fired in goals No. 25 through 28, while Shaniel Buckley and Sahai Panton each struck twice. Natoya Atkinson, Ackelia Johnson, Destiny Powell, Tiny Seaton, Tajay Stephenson and Devonae Lewis added singles. Springers, marooned at the foot of the table, have now leaked 82 goals in 13 outings and join Federal United on the list of clubs mathematically ruled out of the play-offs.
