The boy’s quarter final was against RAB Blue. This game was a tough one for both teams and was a great game to watch, however, it finished 0-0 and needed to go into penalties to decide who would progress forward to the semi-final.

Mid way through the game, Leland made some spectacular reaction saves to keep KSS in the game but unfortunately, despite their efforts, KSS were unable to reply with a goal and lost their semi-final 1-0.
