Banks FC downed their semifinal opponents Kuru Kururu easily with a 2-0 win. Devon ‘Peasy’ Forde scored in the 27th minute while Phillip Rowley scored two minutes into the second half.

However, Grove were made to fight for their spot in the final as they narrowly downed Timehri Panthers in a ‘Sudden Death’ penalty shootout that ended 6-5 after the game ended with a  1-1  scoreline.

Both teams who are also in the 22nd edition of the Kashif & Shanghai Football tournament will look to gain some momentum by winning the final come Sunday.
