The third 11U match of the day, saw M. L. King and Learning Unlimited playing each other for the three points. The particularity of the match, relied in the fact that all team members of M. L. King 11U were female players, while all team members of LU were male players. M. L. King has been playing at high intensity throughout all the match, both on and off the ball. Their determination and counter-attack ability has to be given credit. The first half, ended 3 – 1 for Learning Unlimited, who showed good team chemistry. During the second half, the rhythm slowed down and M. L. King could not find their way to the goal despite an excellent performance from a technical and physical point of view. Conversely, LU has been very cynical during the second half and closed the match with an 8 – 1 win. Man of the Match à  Kemani Rize #11.

The first 13U match of DAY 4 faced Sr. Marie Laurence and Sr. Magda United Starts against each other. The first half has been very tight, with both teams attacking strong but without leaving any gaps in defence. This, has made it difficult for the teams to find their way to the goal, and this has been testified by a low scoring first half, which ended 2 – 1 for Marie Laurence. The second half, which has surely been more captivating, has seen both defences opening up, leaving plenty of space for their opponents. In particular, Marie Laurence best exploited this aspect, and scored an astonishing 7 more goals. Sr. Magda, however, created many worthy chances, but has been very unlucky and surely deserved to score more than one goal during the second half. Lastly, the closing minutes were played at low pace, with the end result of 9 to 2 for Marie Laurence 13U. Man of the Match à  Quincy Busby.
