The Escriva Cup was held on Friday 1 November at International Park. The Cup, played for annually, was won for the second time by Class of 13 who defeated FJV 2-1 in a very close game. The Men’s Cup attracted eighteen teams in six groups of three so that every team played at least two matches.
The competition was run on a Night Soccer basis and each match lasted thirty minutes. Winners of each Group and the two best runners up went into the quarter finals. This meant that the finalists played five games.
The six group winners were Wantocks, Mullumbimby Moonshooters, FJV, Class of 13, FDS and Young DD and they were joined by second placed Delta Physio and Locked In. After the Quarter finals had been played the semi-finalists had been decided with Class of 13 to meet Mullumbimby Moonshooters and FJV to play FDS.
The semi-finals were both very close games with Class of 13 winning 1-0 and FJV winning 3-2. Scorer for Class of 13 was Jake perry and for FJV, Jack Moustoukas netted twice and Logan Guglielmana Once.
In the Grand Final Class of 13 beat FJV 2-1 to retain the trophy. Taryn Bradford and Chris Achille scored the goals for Class of thirteen and Jhett Jones replied for FJV.
The Ladies competition only attracted two teams so Goalden Girls and Fat and Furious played off for the trophy with Fat and Furious winning 2-1. Goals for Fat and Furious were scored by Sienna Lago, Sian Reardon, and Kya Quagliata.
A big Thank You for all the teams who took part and helped to raise money for a very good cause.
