Arnett Gardens took the early advantage in the first leg of the Jamaica Women’s Premier League (JWPL) semi-finals after they defeated Los Perfectos 3-2 yesterday in a tightly contested affair at the Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence.

Shikira Douglas continued her prolific form in front of goal, bagging a brace in the second and 42nd minutes for Arnett, while captain Tuanashae Hamilton added her name to the scoresheet in the 77th.

Los Perfectos had the ever-reliable Venicia Reid to thank for their goals, as she also scored a brace in the 28th and 88th to keep their chances of reaching the final alive.
