TAHITI – The semi finals of the 2009 Coupe de Polynesie kick off this weekend with Temanava, Tahiti U-20, AS Vaiete and AS Manu Ura all looking for a strong start.
Earlier in the week Vaiete eased past TAC 4-1 in the 2nd leg of the quarter finals so the team’s confidence will be high going into the next stage.
The Tahiti U-20 had a tougher time in their quarter final match up against AS Tiara Tahiti. Tiare opened the scoring through Pascal Gelima but Garry Rochette scored for the U-20s to secure a draw. It was enough to send them through to send them through to the final four.
In the other quarter finals, Manu Ura did well to beat Tefana 2-1 while Temanava edged past Venus 1-0 to make semi finals for the second year in a row.
