Horizons Premiership – Easter Cup

Semi final action saw two fantastic matchups on paper. In the first game Massey hosted Red Sox . Massey got off to a good start and went 1-0 early on. This fired Red Sox into life and led 2-1 at the break. Massey managed to score in the second half and at 2-2 game on! Neither side were able to unlock the other and fate would be decided by penalties. Red Sox holding their nerve to book a spot in the final. Takaro hosted Feilding in the other semi and put up a valiant fight, but Feilding showed their experience at this level and took the game 4-2. Michael Lewis back amongst the goals!

360 Logistics Championship – Charity Cup

They’ve just gone and done it! North End upset Jokers with a epic win! Jokers have had a stella season, lets not take anything away from what they have achieved this season and going into the final surely they were red hot favourites. But that’s the beauty of the cup and the nature of knockout football. North End deserved winners 3-2 and sign their season off on a high.
