To make the last four, Enyimba beat another amateur side Flying Birds of Aba 6-0 while Warriors defeated Kambu, also of Aba, 2-0. Flying Birds went past Wanderers and Diamond of Umuahia before their dreams ended against Enyimba. Kambu also eliminated Enyimba Feeders and Chidex both of Aba to meet with Warriors.
For Comets, they defeated Ibeku United of Umuahia while Abonta eliminated Ben FC and Abia Warriors Feeders Team to advance to the last four.
