We're closing in on the finals for the Pig 'N' Whistle Canale Cup and Elaine Watson Cup with the quarter finals of the Pig 'N' Whistle Canale Cup and semi-finals of the Elaine Watson Cup drawn earlier today at Football Brisbane's Logan Football Complex HQ. The Pig 'N' Whistle Canale Cup has been whittled down from 47 teams to the last 8 and the draw has fallen in a way where at least one Vilic Law Capital League side will feature in the semi-finals with either St George Willawong or Samford Rangers to reach the last 4. There are two all Brisbane Men's Premier League ties with cup holders Grange Thistle hosting North Pine and Acacia Ridge set to take on Taringa Rovers. Lone Vilic Law Capital League 2 side The Lakes FC face a stiff test when they travel to Wolter Park to take on Brisbane Men's Premier League leaders Albany Creek for a place in the semi-final. Here are the Quarter Final ties.
