drew the balls out of the hat and the teams were split into two

 |

|
 |
EPIC |
 |
SEWS |

 |
IDS Scheer |

Rebels FC |
With group I looking the
stronger, those in group II seemed to be quite happy that they had
missed out on having to play tournament favourites SEWS and
Wilderness.
Latino Akkies
missed their first game as they turned up late, but after that, the
group games went smoothly.
This year's
tournament high score surprisingly goes to TIP who beat Alcatel 7-0,
though Alcatel had the second biggest victory over Latino Akkies which
finished 6-0.
Latino Akkies
forfeited their quarter final match due to not having enough players
because of injuries.
TIP gave SEWS a
good hard battle and almost forced the game to penalties but for some
good defending and the crossbar saving their skin!
BLAkkies had
their best tournament yet reaching the semis, but found it too
difficult against Wilderness and then were unfortunate in the 3rd
place match which newcomers 2 FC Tryskac won.
It was a repeat
of last year's final with Wilderness and SEWS taking each other on.
SEWS thought they had scored in the first half but had the ball
crossed the line? The referee consulted a neutral spectator before
making his decision not to award a goal. The second half continued at
a frantic pace and as the minutes ticked away, Wilderness piled on the
pressure. A thunderbolt of a shot from quite some distance in the last
few moments sealed it for Wilderness. The holders had successfully
defended their crown and take the cup back home for another year.
