Cole Barnes and Andrew Luciano scored touchdowns as the Wilton fifth grade Blue team defeated Darien Blue 12-0 on Sunday to advance to the championship game in the Fairfield County Football League.

Wilton, which improved to 9-1, will face New Canaan Red in the final on Saturday at 5 p.m. at New Canaan's Dunning Stadium.

Sunday's contest was a back-and-forth game early and the first quarter ended in a scoreless tie with neither team doing much on offense. Wilton, however, came alive in the second quarter.

While Richard Nolan, Billy Ronk, Kyle Phillips, Dean DiNanno, Tyler Previte, Matthew Graham, Johnny Wu, Max Colburn, Thomas Costello and Joey Seaman led the defense with well-executed tackles, the offense started to show a spark as well.

Runs by Phillips and Ronk, behind the blocking of DiNanno, Wu, Nolan, Matthew King, Jiffy Lescica, Malcolm McGregor and Liam Jenkins, put Wilton in good position.

Previte and Luciano ran well on the ground, but it was Phillips' 17-yard touchdown pass to Barnes that got Wilton going. Ronk ended the second quarter with a 24-yard run, but time expired before Wilton could run another play.

The third-quarter highlights included a tackle by Phillips for a loss and other solid tackles from the Warriors' defense in addition to Wu's fumble recovery. Luciano's TD run with 2:52 left in the quarter gave Wilton a 12-0 lead.

The game between top seed Darien and No. 4 Wilton in the semifinals of the Class M field hockey state tournament was postponed until Thursday at New Canaan at 7 p.m.

Darien, which is seeking a fifth consecutive state championship, enters the game at 19-1. The Blue Wave advanced to the semifinals with a 2-1 overtime victory over No. 8 Guilford.

Wilton, which is 19-3, reached the final four with a 1-0 victory over No. 5 seed New Fairfield.

The winner faces No. 6 Barlow or No. 7 Branford, whose semifinal game also was postponed Wednesday, in the finals on Saturday at Wethersfield.
