TONIGHT, eight teams will play but only four will progress as the Ansa McAl/Stag Beer ‘West Side’ 5-A-Side football tournament reaches its quarter-finals stage. 

The Vergenoegen Rice Mill Tarmac will once again be the venue for the event which will see the eventual winners of the tournament pocket $200 000.
By all indications, the scores of persons who have been turning up nightly at the venue will be happy with the match-up that was made by virtue of how the teams performed and were seeded at the end of the preliminary round.
In the opening game tonight, one of the tournament’s two undefeated teams; New Road Eagles will come up against Broad Street, the lone Georgetown team left in the competition.
Even though they played undefeated, New Road Eagles have not really impressed the masses unlike their foes and opponents in tonight’s quarter-finals.
Broad Street seem sturdy and seasoned to this format of the game and can upstage the undefeated New Road Eagles team.
It will be interesting to see if Showstoppers can create an upset when they clash with pre-tournament favourites Tuschen Up-Top-Youths in game two.
Behind Devon Millington and the entertaining John ‘Brown Boy’ Waldron, the side established themselves as the ‘team to beat’ in the inaugural tournament on the ‘West Side’.
The two are undoubtedly the backbone of the Tuschen team and if they continue to improve in form, Showstoppers will be in for a long night.
The Uitvlugt and Stewartville Gunners game will ignite a rivalry that’s beyond football itself. Stewartville never failed to impress and have silently placed themselves as one the teams to watch in the tournament.
Uitvlugt, on the other hand, loaded with the ‘Bobb brothers’ will do their best to ensure that they remain in the money hunt but it’s anticipated that this game will be the biggest of the evening.
Vergenoegen All-Stars, the tournament’s other undefeated team and De Kinderen Village will feature in the night’s final game and will be an enthralling game.
Both sides have unpredictably reached the knock-out stage and have established themselves as legitimate contenders.
The semi-final is set for this Friday and the final on Sunday, September 7 at the Vergenoegen Rice Mill Tarmac.
