Yesterday’s action was intense and saw two matches having to be decided in extra time; one decided via kicks from the penalty mark. That match saw Bamia eventually getting rid of Circuitville 2-0; their goalkeeper being the hero as he saved all four of the shots that Circuitville took.
An own goal by Hauraruni cost them their match against Waiakabra in the second period of extra time, however, the former were still able to make it through to the quarter-finals as one of the two best losing teams in the opening round. The other team advancing via the route, was Circuitville.
In other results, Soesdyke defeated Laluni 2-0, compliments of goals from Mark Barker and Tyrone Khan. Kuru Kuru College won via a similar margin over Banakari; Encosi Morris and his brother, Nickoli, crafted the win.
The widest margin of victory was recorded by Yarrowkabra, over St. Cuthbert’s, 4-1, on account of a double off the boot of Terrance Glasgow. Shemar Schultz and Christopher Fung notched in one apiece to complete the win. St. Cuthbert’s consolation came from Wayne Wong.
The opening match of the day produced a 2-1 win for Swan Madaweni over Kuru Kururu, 2-1. The winning goals were scored by Anderson Webber and Abraham Webb, the lone response from the losers came from Anthony Roberts.
