Meanwhile, Wolf Warriors of West Coast will take on Parika/Hydronie Sports Club to see which other team will go through to face the Berbice winners. Rangers SC were the first team to make it through having defeated Zeeburg Warriors last week.
In Berbice, Scotsburg United will face Fyrish Youths in a playoff this weekend to determine the winner after both teams qualified to represent Berbice in the national quarter-finals.
