Sanyang were also fined D800 after their fans invaded the pitch and attacked their opponent players despite the fact that they (Sanyang) were two nil up.

The incident resulted in the fans knocking down two Tanji players on their faces in the quarterfinal game played at the Gunjur Nyamina Football Field at the weekend.

Tujereng’s was also fined D700 after their fans assaulted security officials in their quarterfinal game against Berending played at the Sanyang playground a forthnight ago.

Gunjur, Sanyang and Tujereng were told to pay their fines on or before 5 August 2011 or else they "will not play" their semi-final matches.

Banyaka were also fined D500 after their fans assaulted the match officials after their 2-0 defeat to Gunjur in the quarterfinal game played at the Sanyang playground at the weekend.

Banyaka are also expected to settle their fine on or before 5 August 2011 or else their fine will be increased to D1,000.
