This was the big game of the day of tNew Salamis the current League Champions and Tripimeni the Champions of the previous year. Tripimeni got off to a good start with some good flowing football with a goal in the first half from Vas.

The second half Tripimeni slowed down and New Salamis were continually attacking the Tripimeni rearguard and the reds were rewarded with a penalty in the 75th minute which was taken and scored by Richard. New Salamis continued to pile on the pressure and their reward for their hard work came in the 85th minute when from a cross across the goal led to Kyri Portou heading the ball into the corner of the net , a fantastic goal to end a great match.
