Soesdyke Falcons scorers from right, Raymond Khan, Tyrone Khan, Tyrell Khan and Shawn Samnauth.

Tyrone Khan scored from a corner kick, Agricola’s goalkeeper Anthony Ifill misjudging the take and stepped over the goal line with the ball tightly in his grasp.
Khan’s brother Tyrell sent his side into the lead with a beautifully taken free kick that curled into the far corner from a side on angle on the right side of goal in the 28th minute. It was a lead that the Soesdyke team defended up until the 67th minute when Agricola drew level on account of a Yupas Murray goal.
