Greeks in 4-1 Over Kelmendi FC
Greeks won 4-1 in a very easy game where they outmatched Kelmendi, who seemed more interested in fighting the referee than playing soccer.
The Greeks scored first to take the lead, and a foul from Kelmendi prompted the referee to issue a yellow card to their player. However, it turned into a red card on Kelmendi as they stormed the field to attack the referee, headbutting him and pushing him. The half was called 10 minutes early. Initially the referee called off the game, however it was later decided to continue it from the 2nd half.
Veteran Shaun Foster captained the Greeks over 30s and will continue to do so in this national cup and regular league play. Coached by returning veteran Peter Nikolakakos. The over 30s are currently on a four game winning streak and a five game undefeated streak. They await the winner of CPR Old Bhoys vs CPR Joga Dhor match that will determine their opponent in the final for NY. The winner will represent NY in the over 30 National Cup.
