The path to Cup glory has been decided in Canberra with the draws for the Australia Cup Qualifying Round 5 and 6 and the Women’s Federation Cup Semi-Finals having taken place at Football House in Deakin.
Community League 1 Majura FC will continue to spotlight the Magic of the Cup as they play host to high-flying Gungahlin United in the fourth Quarter Final fixture, the lowest ranked team left in the competition paired with the National Premier League outfit in a traditional David versus Goliath contest.
The winner of that fixture will have, as the reward, a Semi-Final match-up against the successful team from the Quarter Final 2 fixture which pits the NPL League Champions, O’Connor Knights against the Capital Premier League promotion hopefuls Queanbeyan City.
There’s a clash of the titans scheduled for the first Quarter Final fixture as NPL behemoths Monaro Panthers and Canberra Croatia go toe-to-toe with the winner facing an away trip in the last four against whoever advances from the tie between Tuggeranong United and Yoogali SC.
Over in the Women’s Federation Cup, the cup holders, Belconnen United, will be on the road in the Semi-Finals should they succeed in knocking out Tuggeranong United in their Quarter Final, the winner of the match between State League White Eagles and NPL West Canberra Wanderers awaiting.
And the team that moves on from the blockbuster Canberra Olympic versus Canberra Croatia Federation Cup Quarter Final, which will be live on BarTV Sports, will be away as well, coming up against the winner of ANU WFC and Gungahlin United.
All Men’s Australia Cup Quarter Finals will be streamed live on BarTV Sports, two Women’s Federation Cup Quarter Finals will also be streamed live, whilst all Men’s and Women’s Semi-Finals, and the Finals, will be available to watch live and free courtesy of our broadcast partners.
