Desert Rats FC played in their Cup Final, with a 33% advantage over their opponents and playing 4-1-4-1 vs 4-3N-3, and the defeated manager from their Semi-Final also attended and supported the Rats, thank-you. It's been a lean past few matches for the strike force, poor performances reflected in poor ratings, and the Management had a dilemma as to which of the three to field. In the event, Julien Renard was chosen and he turned in a much-improved performance, opening the scoring in the 18th minute and adding a second on the stroke of half-time. The midfielders took over after the break, left-winger Unal Ozdemir netting five minutes after the break and right-winger Emerson de Alencar Arraes assisting Ireneusz Jezierski late on to complete the 4-0 win. Rats 'keeper Bismark Carroll was the star of the defence, saving 4 out of 5 of the shots on target mustered by the opposition.
