The Final Four has played out, and the battle for the championship has been set.
The possession oriented Hapuna FC fought out a tough match with Beasts. Hapuna looked to be strolling to a comfortable 2-0 victory, before Beasts scored a goal late, to really put the pressure on. Hapuna held there nerve, though, and buried a 3rd goal to end the tie. HFC again showed they were not only the strongest midfield oriented team, but their potent attack again was a daunting task for the opposition. Hapuna now has scored an impressive 18 goals in the Dew Cup
In the other semifinal matchup, Ocala put up a awe inspiring offensive onslaught on a usually tough tough DVB defense. A wild first half saw Ocala get out early 1-0, immediately followed by Bushwackers bagging 2 goals to take the lead, but Ocala came right back for 2 more to go to the half up 4-2. A wide open first half was followed by a tranquil second half, and Ocala cruised to the final 5-2. This cant really be considered an upset, but that scoreline is definitely an eye catcher.

Grand Final Thoughts:
In the end, the Dew Cup's 4th installment will feature 2 fairly similar teams. Strong midfields, potent attacks, balanced defenses. The two highest scoring teams in the tournament will hopefully put on a show for all to enjoy. Who will win the midfield, and which attack will matchup with the weaker defensive sectors will decide it all. Prediction? Might as well flip a coin, mine said heads, not sure which team that is. Two worthy clubs, one game to rule them all.....
