After a scoreless first half at the BAA Field, the Flanagan’s Onions would get a 58th minute penalty strike from Shaki Swan to defeat Vasco Da Gama 1 – 0.

This game was an emotional one, as players came to terms with the loss of 20-year-old Mazhye Burchall, who tragically died in a road traffic collision earlier that day.
A moment of silence was held prior to the start of the match, which ended in a 1 – 1 draw, with Lejuan Simmons scoring for Robin Hood in the 42nd minute, however an own goal in the 81st minute by a Robin Hood defender earned the Devonshire Cougars a point.
