Crossing the great sporting divide, Ex pat soldiers in Doha used a football match to raise funds for Soldiers League.

AlKhor in a repeat of last years match took the trophy from Barwa in a 60 minute game. All funds raised being donated to the Soldiers League Charity.
The AlKhor team was stronger this year and even some shockingly biased refereeing could not save Barwa. 5 goals from Christian Brooks and a strong performance from Luke Salter with cool leadership and footy skill from Joe Mason proved to strong for last years winners.

The score was Barwa 9 – 11 AlKhor
