SIBU: Sibu Football League Div II Group A champion Cheetah FC will take on Group B champion Petra Giant FC in the final to be held at Prison Field on Sept 20 at 3.30pm.

Cheetah edged Sentosa 2-1 while Petra Giant thrashed Tg Sherikh FC 6-4 in the semi-finals to set up the Sunday showdown.

Sibu FA secretary Abdul Hajis Abdullah predicted a tough match this weekend.

“The team that make the least mistakes will lift the title,” he said, adding there was little that separated the two teams keen to lift the inaugural title.

“This is an interesting match-up with lots of set pieces. Hopefully, fans will turn up in full force,” he added.

Sentosa will lock horns with Tg Sherikh in third-placing playoff on Sept 19 at 3.30pm (same venue).

In Div I, Busana secured 25 points to lift the title while V8 FC came second. Both teams will represent Sibu for the Champions League in Kuching on Oct 24.

Hajis also said the Sibu FA Cup (1st: RM1,000; 2nd: RM500) will commence after the completion of the Div II final showdown.

He said all 24 teams, 10 from Div 1 and 14 from Div II groups A and B, qualified to vie for the title for the Sibu FA Cup which starts in early October.

All FA Cup matches are at Stadium Tun Zaidi (kickoff: 3.30pm).
