Khan repeats!! π Dominos keeps the dream alive!
Overwatch slip up with Jabb waiting to pounce! π³
If the penultimate matchday on Tuesday was part 1 of the final week thriller, we don't know what to expect on Friday. π
Firstly, Khan's Poultry deserve their flowers for repeating as Over-60 League champs. While their consistency was key, they were also aided by inept finishing from Murphy Clarke this season, who had their 7th draw in 8 games! This has allowed Carib with a chance to possibly snipe the silver medal on Friday.

If pizza was never to your thing, you'd have become a fan after seeing Dominos in the playoffs in the 36-45 category , and ensure you order out for the next lime.

Ian Welch-Phillips (their hero vs Sheppards) & capt. Marcus Chin Sang have them a 2-0 lead, only for Adam "Pluto' Farfan and Jesse Walker to equalize.
The goalkeeper for the pizza giant deserves all-you-can- eat privileges for the year, as his performances were instrumental in their push to the final versus Harts --- who pipped Renew via a Ryan de Silva aka "Spike" goal
In the other matches, Sheppards' Shane Hamel-Smith's beaver-trick in a 5-0 hammering of Rose ITSL and Kyra's penalty shootout victory over Onboard Freight closed off the night.
In the 46-53 category, Overwatch was held to a draw by party-poopers Earth Enerji, in what was their final match. They must now sit back and hope Enerji can pull off another upset, this time against Jabb Jouvert -- who only needs to draw to win the title.π«£
