Orodo Ward B and Amakohia Ward are the first two teams to qualify for the quarter -finals after they eliminated Amaike Mbieri and Inyishi\/Umudim respectively.
Orodo B at the Ifakala Community Secondary School field in Mbaitoli defeated hard -fighting Amaike 1-0 to book their passage to the last eight at the Mbaitoli centre.
