| Bowen Bullets huddling before the match |
The junior Bullets earned their place in the quarter-finals of the NZ C Div Boys Football Competition this afternoon at their home ground with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Orchid Park Secondary School.

The Bowen boys surprised Orchid Park with intense surges up the field right from the whistle and forced them into submission in the very 1st minute when Muhd Zulhilmi crossed from the left for a simple tap-in by skipper Muhd Yusri.

3 minutes later, an intended long clearance by centre-back Raeis from the centre circle sailed over the Orchid Park goalkeeper and into the goalmouth for Bowen's second goal.
With 2 goals down within the 5th minute mark, Orchid Park were left stunned on the pitch and Bowen continued the onslaught with an excellent effort in the 14th min from Yusri who registered his second goal with a swerving shot from just inside the penalty box.

The Bullets did not lift their foot off the pedal as they scored again from a corner a minute later. Midfielder Fareez provided the corner kick that Bowen striker Brandon Chua volleyed home outside the near post.

Brandon got his name on the score sheet again 5 minutes from the interval, this time scrambling in the penalty box to head the ball through the Orchid Park goalkeeper's grasp off a free kick by the ever-reliable Shah Sharizan.

The intensity went down a notch in the 2nd half as Bowen began to cruise through the match while Orchid Park woke up from their daze to defend more stoutly. They only conceded one goal in the 2nd half when Yusri helped himself to a hat trick in the 43rd minute. His right-footed free kick outside the penalty box was charged down by the Orchid Park wall, giving him a second attempt with his left foot. This time, the shot drifted past the keeper and nestled nicely in the bottom right netting of the goalmouth.

| Skipper Muhd Yusri about to register a hat trick with this free kick |
Orchid Park scored a dubious consolation goal four minutes later off a direct free kick from the left. A lone Orchid Park player stood just in front of substitute goalkeeper Muhd Taufiq as the free kick was taken but referee deemed the player not interfering with play when the free kick sailed over Taufiq into goal.
