Two games were contested at CIFA Academy Field in Matavera, Cook Islands on Saturday as the preliminary round for an available OFC Champions League group-stage berth concluded.
In the opener, Campbell Best (44', 57', 59') and Josh Karika (74', 88', 90'+5) each produced a hat trick as Tupapa Maraerenga destroyed Utulei Youth 9-1 to keep their flickering hopes of advancing to the group stage alive-----for the time being.
In the nightcap, Jamie Mason (25' , 68', 90'+4) and Sam Blackburn (31', 64', 90') each delivered a hat trick as Vailima Kiwi clinched the preliminary group and advanced to the group stage with a 7-1 annihilation of Veitongo FC.
