The draw was completed and the semi-finals where drawn as follows:

Laguna Social Club vs Cannon Bar
Gib Utd (R/J Refrigeration) vs NewCastle Boix (Youth team)

The 1st semi-finals between the Laguna and Cannon Bar was taken all the way to the last game. However Laguna at one point being 3-1 up and only needing 1 more game from the remaining 3 games. The Cannon Bar where not ready to give up the fight and pulled level to 3 games a piece.

The decider was contended between Pepe Mascareñas (Cannon Bar) and Fidelio Bonfante (Laguna). Very closely fought and Fidelio won 2-1 to make way for the Laguna to play in the final.

In the other semi-final it was the Youth team (Newcastle Boix) against the experienced league runners-up Gib Utd (R/J Refrigeration).

The Young kids though nervous tried there hardest against their strong opponents but it wasn’t to be their day.

Having lost 4-0 and thus conceding the match they still fought on to pull up a respectable final result losing most of the reminder of the matches 2-1.

Furthermore amongst the youth, the highlights where Jeremy Cruz and Stefan Federico from Newcastle Boix, both did exceptionally well and both will attend the Youth European Cup in Germany this coming July. Jeremy took his opponent to the final leg and he scored very well including lots of tons and several 140’s. Stefan was able to beat his opponent 2-0 giving the young lads a win amongst their highly fought but unfortunate other losses.

The finals where contended between 2nd Division Laguna Social Club and Premier division Gib Utd. Gib Utd where just too strong for them taking the final 6-1.

Well done to the worthy winners.
