Cappaquigley 2-2 Cutters
After we were left with just two games on Friday night, there was to be no shortage of importance as both games had a lot on the line. Cappaquigley who have had a real breakout year thanks to their tireless effort and quality knew a draw would seal them a place in the champions league places. They got off to the perfect start when a fantastic through ball was finished low to go 1 up. Cutters responded in quick fashion and a debit beautiful curling effort from Fionn levelled the tie and the sides went in level. Cutters really put the foot down and after being on top in the first half again looked the more dangerous team to begin the second. They were however undone and went behind again thanks to a superb breakaway goal from the students. Cutters again levelled a few minutes later when Locky found the back of the net. Cutters pushed and pushed for a winner and forced arguably the save of the entire Friday night soccer league campaign when a deflected effort was miraculously tipped over from the Cappa keeper. The game was to finish all square and Cappa secure that all important final spot in the champions league
Bluestreak 2-3 Wembledines
Another drama filled game with huge implications for the post season took place at 8pm where Bluestreak needed just a point to keep their Champions League spot. They got off to the perfect start when Micheal Blake headed home a great delivery to go 1 up. Bluestreak didn’t stop there and just 10 minutes later it was that man Blake again and they were 2 up and had the Champions League post season in sight. Wembledines however had other intentions and just before half time pulled one back when a whipped in corner was headed home to go in 2-1 down at half time. This wasn’t to be the last corner to cause agony for Bluestreak and yet again they were undone by a corner with 10 to go to set up a barrage of attacks from Wembledines for the last 10 minutes. Bluestreak retreated further and further back and had looked to have done enough until the literal last touch of the game. Yet another header from a corner sparked great scenes as Wembledines secured a vital win and their place in the last 4 of the Champions League. Bluestreak will be kicking themselves for not holding on and now instead venture to the Europa League post season
