Congratulations to all the teams who have got through to the Semi's !

Believe its the first time for Auckland Rangers to go through to the James Rettie semi's (correct me if i'm wrong!), since their creation 4 years ago. And its also Lokomotiv's 1st James Rettie Cup Semi as well since they joined the League officially 4 years ago. Well done to both teams ! They both have tough games against WKK (Cup winners last season) and the Bob's (League winners last season), but it only takes 90 mns to change the course of history.

It was a close call for Celtic who needed to rely on Loko beating Uncle Bob in yesterday's game, and had to beat the Groovers by 4 goals for them to get through to the JR semi's - they fulfilled the scoring part, but this was to no avail as the Bob's beat Loko 1-0. Instead they play in the newly created Barnesalona Cup which gives teams in position 3 and 4 in their repsective groups the chance to win a trophy of their own.

Also need to mention that if the Groovers had beaten Celtic (and at 1/2 time, they were winning 3-0), they would have overtaken Barnes to play in the Barnesalona Cup.. letting 7 goals in, in the second half didn't help their cause..

Well done to Hendrix, Barnes and Madras for getting through to their 1st semi's in this League. All to play for !

Hope you all enjoy your semi's and good luck to all teams !
