KONICA FC AND UTUELI LEAD SEMI-FINAL CHARGE

ASFA Men's Competition took a break from Pago Park

PAGO PAGO - Konica FC have taken command of Pool 1 in the national Men's Competition in Pago Pago following the latest round of fixtures played last weekend. Konica FC's 100% winning record was maintained thanks to a 4-0 victory over Manuula Heat coupled with Peace Brother's astonishing 0-2 reversal against FC SKBC that saw last week's table-toppers slipping into second place.

Fagasa closed the gap on Peace Brothers to just two points after a 7-0 win over struggling Tafuna Jets 2. Pago Youth stay in the hunt for a top two finish with a comfortable 6-0 victory over winless Flame On. Positions two through to six remain ultra competitive with three rounds still remaining before the finalists for the semi-finals are discovered.

The situation in Pool 2 remains equally intriguing with Utueli Youth continuing its charge toward the top two after a convincing 5-2 win over Autali. Tafuna Jets keep the blowtorch close on the table-topping Utueli after a narrow 2-1 win over Konica Airbase. Pansas 3-0 win over Ilaoa & Toomata in tandem with Pago Eagles easy 7-0 win over bottom-placed Aua Old School leaves the competition for semi-final spots wide open.

Matches in the national Men's and Women's competitions were transferred from the FIFA Goal Project facility at Pago Park to Kanana Fou temporarily with the founding congress of the American Samoa Football Federation (ASFF) scheduled to take place this weekend.

Round five fixtures scheduled for this weekend have consequently been postponed.

In the Women's Competition, Black Rose retained their 100% winning record with a 3-0 victory over Tafuna Jets. The race for second spot is far from clear cut with Pansa and Utueli tied on 9 points with Pago Girls and Fagasa in 4th and 5th place on 7 points.

Tafuna Jets and Lion Heart sit back in mid-table on 6 points-a-peice with the bottom three teams headed by Brave Heart FC on 3 points followed by Kip McGrath and Tafuna Jets 2 yet to record a single point.
