The quarter finals of the Island Citizen Sporting Club (ICSC) and San Pedro High School (SPHS) Five-a-side Football Tournament took place this past weekend, and only four senior teams are advancing. As the road narrows to the championship, the games have become heated.
As always, fanatics gathered at the Angel Nuñez Auditorium on all four game nights to cheer on their favorite teams. In this phase of the competition, eliminations were only for the senior category, due to the size of the group; all little leagues and female teams remain in the tournament until the semi-finals.

The tournament continued on Friday, July 8th with United FC facing Boca Bombers in the first match. Both teams played amazingly, and the game ended up in a draw, 2-2. The second and last match of the evening ended up in a 5-3 win for Island Pure over Scorpions.
