Trinidad & Tobago carried on their winning ways in the semifinals of the NAWIRA Caribbean Rugby Championship which is doubling as an International Rugby Board 2011 Rugby World Cup qualifier.
They defeated the defending champions and number one seed Barbados 56-0 on Wednesday.
The Calypso Warriors, who were seeded sixth for the tournament, will play fourth seeded Guyana in the tournament final on Saturday.
Guyana defeated Bermuda 25-13 in the other semifinal.
T&T team manager Curtis Nero said that the T&T players were drawing self-confidence from knowing they have put the work in.
"Given the pre tournament seeding we (T&T) are the underdogs and Guyana will go into the final as the favorites" said Nero.
Trinidad and Tobago has entered every Caribbean Rugby Championship since inception in 1966 winning the Caribbean title in 1967,1973,1985,1997 and 2001 and the inaugural South Caribbean Rugby Championship in 1999.
