Sportsweight.blogspot.com gathered that Dolphins F.C played barren draw against Amatuer Division One side, CKC, in the first semi final played on Tuesday at the Liberation Stadium.
According to the Media Officer of Dolphins F.C, Acheru China, said both teams were expected to play penalties having played barren draw but the State's F.A cited poor security for the postponement of the match till the next day, Wednesday, 14th, April,2010.
China, said the F.A bizzarely came up with a another plan on Wednesday stressing that both sides should play a 20 minute per half but CKC refused because the rules says that a match should go into penalty shootout when two teams play a draw in the Federation Cup Semi final.
Following CKC insistence, the F.A again called for a replay on Friday as the Federation Cup would come up on Saturdy.
In the second semi final clash, Sharks laboured to a 1-0 win over Go Round.
