Thu. March 5 | 8:00 PM Rivers of Living Water FC 0 – 4 Garden Hotspurs

Security Forces United climb the playoff table
Security Forces United delivered a statement performance in the opening fixture, defeating Trinity/Challengers United 2-1 to record back-to-back wins. With playoff positions tightening across the division, every point is precious — and Security Forces are making it clear they intend to be in that conversation. For Trinity, the defeat is a damaging setback. Having lost three of their last four, their grip on a playoff spot is loosening at exactly the wrong time of the season.

Hotspurs send a message with four-goal rout
Garden Hotspurs put on a commanding display, brushing aside Rivers of Living Water FC 4-0 in the late fixture to solidify their playoff positioning. With clubs bunched tightly in the standings, goal difference could prove decisive when playoff places are decided — and Hotspurs’ four-goal haul will not have gone unnoticed by their rivals. It was a performance full of purpose and intensity from a side with plenty still to play for.
For Rivers of Living Water, still anchored to minus three points at the foot of the table, the 4-0 defeat sums up a season to forget. The focus now shifts to Friday night, when Lodge Patriots take on Mantab and Saddlers United host Conaree Fireball International — two more crucial fixtures in what is shaping up to be a thrilling playoff race.
