HONIARA – Our Kakamora Women’s team caused the biggest upset in the SIFF Women’s Open Category semifinals by beating high flying Western Turtles at the SIFF academy yesterday.
Locked 1-1 at half time, Our Kakamora’s Dorcas Kaisi made sure her team advanced into the final tomorrow against Malaita Eagles when she slotted in their second goal.
Western Turtles’ officials, cried foul when match referee allowed the goal believing the goal scorer Ms Kaisi was standing in an offside position. But the referees inspector Justin
Mutukera was adamant and stood by the decision.
Meanwhile, national teenage striker Layda Samani brought smiles to Malaita Eagles fans when she scored the only goal to separate them from Honiara.
Both teams had good scoring opportunities but poor finishing saw them struggling until Samani separated them with her goal midway through second half.
The final will be played at Lawson Tama on Friday.
HONIARA – Our Telekom Cup men’s soccer final on Saturday has been rescheduled based on police advise.
LOC coordinator Noel Wagapu confirmed this morning that police have requested that the matches are brought forward by an hour which means the play off for third place match will now
be at 1p.m and finals at 3p.m.
This will allow enough time should the matches go into extra time for them to complete before night falls.
The police are cautious because of what had happened at the weekend when hundreds of fans invaded the pitch and smashed window glasses at the SIFF’s former headquarters when Malaita
Eagles lost to West Honiara.
