Electrifying Esther
Final Review (Women)
(Kupu-Kupu Vs Red Hawks)
This season’s final pitted two new teams, Kupu-Kupu and Red Hawks. Boosting last season’s MVP Esther, Red Hawks started brightly with open chances, while Kupu-Kupu defended well. But Red Hawks managed to open the defense which allowed a slick through pass from Esther released Abby whose shot found the net. Kupu-Kupu meanwhile, had a glorious chance to level the match, but Najwa’s shot was blocked to safety by Bobby. Esther then got her hat trick after two back to back goals that ended Kupu-Kupu’s remaining hope. The icing on the cake came when she dribbled past three players before grabbing her fourth and assuring Red Hawks as the second champions of the tournament. Eventhough Kupu-Kupu got second, they were still proud with being runner up.
CiTY Girls Settle For Third
3rd Place Play-Off
(Emergency Vs CiTY Girls)
The 3rd place play-off saw Emergency entertaining last season’s runners up City Girls. The match started with each team playing cautiously and took time to settle in. The first breakthrough came from Maneesha. Her constant pressure on Emergency's defense caused havoc in their penalty box, causing her shot finding the left bottom corner of Emergency’s goal. Emergency then increased their intensity, but it backfired because a quick counter attack from City Girls gave them their second goal as Maneesha’s shot found the bottom corner of Emergency’s goal. Emergency though did not give up and pulled one back at the beginning of the second half when their intelligent midfield play caught City Girls off guard. Thus, Shal’s shot from the middle of the court found the botton corner of Tulika’s goal. City Girls then had to defend well as Emergency pushed them all the way but their comeback never happend as City Girls held on for the bronze Medal.
