The decisive Leg 2 games in the quarterfinals of the National Amateur Interdistrict Championship (NAIC) 2023 were played over the weekend, and the four series winners are now poised to enter the home-and-away semifinals beginning with Leg 1 games this coming weekend.

On Saturday, July 22, at the Ambergris Stadium, visiting Club Atletico FC swept their series against Shark Shooters FC with a 6-4 win, after prevailing the previous week by a 3-1 score in Belmopan. The aggregate score was therefore, Club Atletico 9-5 over Shark Shooters. Scoring on the island for Club Atletico were Dylon Gongora (15? & 83?), Camilo Sanchez (32?, 59? & 6? PK) and Freybin Pagoada (55?); while Shark Shooters? goals came from Steven Baizar (28?, 45+2? & 64?) and Damian Pollard (37?).

At the Carl Ramos Stadium in Dangriga, an early goal by Enrique Valdez (18?) was enough to give visiting Caribbean Rum Boyz FC the 1-0 victory over Griga Conquerors. Having drawn 2-2 the previous week, Caribbean Rum Boyz are the 3-2 aggregate winners and will go on to the semifinals.
On Sunday afternoon at the Carolina Football Field in Corozal, the Calcutta Bulls FC, who had won by a 1-0 score in week over Napoles FC at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium, found themselves this time on the losing end of the same score, thus at the end of regulation they were in a 1-1 aggregate tie. Daijon Daniels (50?) the tournament?s leading goal scorer got the game winner for Napoles. In overtime, Calcutta Bulls got 2 goals for the final aggregate of 3-1 over Napoles. Calcutta benefited from a Napoles own goal by Humberto Requena (103? OG), and Reiner Santoya (113?) put the icing on the cake for the Calcutta Bulls FC win and a spot in the semifinals.

Also on Sunday, it was another overtime situation at the Marion Jones Sports Complex, where Lake-I FC and Mavericks United FC played to a 2-2 regulation stalemate, the same score that occurred in their meeting last week in P.G. Kevin Young (26?) and Kenroy Linarez (66?) scored for Lake-I, while Jaren Lambey (10? & 60?) got both goals for Mavericks. In the ensuing overtime, Lake-I got 2 goals, another from Kenroy Linarez (99?) and the other from Whitfield Cumberbach (109?), to secure the aggregate 6-4 win and a semifinal berth.
