With berths to the semi-final round still up for grabs the final two quarterfinal matches in the Den Amstel Mash Knockout Cup will take place today at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
The opening matchup at 18:30hrs will pit Eagles FC against Young Achievers while last year’s losing finalist Uitvlugt Warriors will battle Golden Warriors in the feature contest from 20:30hrs.
Defending champion Pouderoyen and tourney hosts Den Amstel sealed their semi-final berths following lopsided quarterfinal wins at the same venue on Friday.
