They will meet J W Marriott Hotel in the semi final. Hotel football Le Meridien AL Aqah got back to their winning ways after a slight slump in form in the last few games. They defeated Millenium Airport Hotel 10-3. Al Aqah scored in the very second minute as Tariq pounced on a defensive lapse to open the account. They dominated the game for most of the time and scored two quick goals in two minutes through Roshan and Ahmed to make it three nil. Francois and Mohammed made it five nil just before a hardworking Terry Scott scored for the Millenium team to end the first half at 5-1. In the second half Ahmed (2) and Mohammed scored in quick succession to make it 8-1. Terry Scott was again instrumental in scoring his sides second goal before Francois scored a goal to make the score 8-3. Before the Millenium team had any idea of a fight back Roshan and Mohammed completed the tally and romped home 10-3 winners. Le Meridien Al Aqah will meet Jumeirah Beach Club in the semi finals. Open football Dnata Ramp Services stormed into the semi finals of the Open Football tournament blanking Panjim by four goals to nil. Hussain put Dnata in the lead with a superb shot. Hassan increased the tally to two after five minutes and Saeed made it three nil just before half time. The second half belonged to Panjim who did everything but score. Keegan, Joshua and Darryl missed sitters infront of the Dnata Goal. Hasan completed the scoring in the dying minutes of the game to emerge 4-0 victors. They will meet Siolim United in the semi finals. Meanwhile, Vaxim Divar secured their place in the semi finals defeating a stubborn Gmmos team by three goals to one. Gmmos held the Divar lads at bay for most of the first half and almost scored themselves when Roy missed an open goal. Gmmos continued to put the pressure with Urban and Jerry coming close several times. Thomas in the Divar goal denied the Gmmos forwards two sure goals. Russel Rodrigues sprung onto a loose ball and sent in a fierce shot to open the account for Divar. Gmmos hit back immediately with Roy scoring from close range. The first half ended one-all. The second half was exciting with both teams going all out to score. Orlando however was on target for the Divar team and Russel Rosario made sure of the victory and dashed Gmmos hopes. Divar will meet St Anthony Pernem in the second semi final today. The tournaments are being conducted at Sportzone by Gulf International Promotions as part of the Dubai Summer Surprises.
