The Semi Finals were played on the 8th January and it must be said the Young Lilies pitch was awful. It had not been cut and the grass was far too long. Never the less, all the teams played some very attractive football. Fast Eleven and Home Tigers eventually coming out on top. 
It must be noted that it was very hard for the Peacemakers to play two games in one day but that, as they say, is football.

The final was a very tense affair. The grass on the pitch had now been cut making skilful football a lot easier.
Both teams played some fine football with perhaps the Home Tigers shading the contest. However they did not take their chances and it was Fast Eleven who opened the scoring not long before half time with a well taken goal.
The second half had hardly started when Fast Eleven scored their second. It really was an excellent goal and looked to have put Fast Eleven most of the way towards winning the cup. Home Tigers  were visibly rocked by the quick second goal but great credit must go to them for they picked themselves up and started to play the better football. Home Tigers piled on the pressure and eventually Fast Eleven cracked and gave away a penalty. They were not too happy with the decision and in truth it could have gone either way. Some refs would have given it and some wouldn't. Fanaze strode forward to take this high pressure penalty and coolly slotted it home. 
The Tigers were now in with a chance. Truth is often stranger than fiction and you couldn't make the next bit up. Again under heavy pressure the defence wilted and gave away another penalty. This time however it was totally clear cut and there should have been no protests. However Fast Eleven were extremely unhappy, understandably as they had now given two penalties away. They took their protest far too far however and very disappointingly it was twenty minutes before the game could continue, with very heated arguments going on off the pitch. 
It must be noted here that had there been a stronger representation from the organising committee, the situation may have been resolved a lot more quickly. However, given the fact that the ref had given the penalty, and it most certainly was a clear cut penalty, there was no other option but to continue. Again Fanaze strode up to the spot. This had now become an incredibly important kick and Fanaze was under extreme pressure. However once more he slotted it home and the tie was level.
The two teams carried on playing attractive football but could not be separated. The rules called for extra time but due to the delay there was no time as darkness was fast approaching.
