Paul Tyndall, R Pottaya and M Tyndall took two wickets each for Ramnarine Memorial. Needing to score 99 runs from 100 Balls, the visitors raced to 104 for 1 from just 14 overs as Paul Tyndall returned with the bat to blast 51 not out, with three boundaries and two huge sixes. D Baldeo supported with 43 not out.
Ramnarine Memorial would not clash with Fyrish in the semi-finals while Rose Hall Town Tigers would play the winner of the Courtland versus Port Mourant second-round match in the other semi-finals.
Powerhouses Rose Hall Town Bakewell and Albion Community Centre have been debarred from this Tournament in an effort to allow other teams an opportunity to win a major tournament.
