Day 24 - Palace teams report.
Palace Terriers started with a League match at home to 4th place, and seemed to be heading for another home win, but the visitors found another gear and levelled the score late on. Roberto Pigatto Baratto scored the Terriers goals.
Palace Casuals visited 3rd place, yielding 1.5Q, and put up a sterling defensive performance, conceding a goal halfway through the second half for a 0-1 defeat. Anatoliy Mustafa made his 100th appearance for the Casuals.
Palace Terriers resumed battle in the Cup Semi-Final, travelling away in the 2nd Leg with a 1-0 lead to protect from the 1st Leg against their Level 12 and 2.1Q better opponents. Again defensive play was the order of the day, and halfway into the first half Esneider Gil netted a 30-yard strike to give Terriers the lead and hand the home side a 3 goal target if they wanted to qualify for the Final. Abdou Ewagnignon tried to make the job even harder for the visitors by conceding a penalty to gift the hosts an equaliser, but the rest of the team rallied round and produced a superb performance to keep the score level and get Terriers into the Final with a 2-1 aggregate score.
