FAWKNER/Whittlesea will take on South Melbourne in the final of soccer’s preseason summer cup tonight (Tuesday) after both scored thrilling victories in the semi-finals last week.

The final will be played tonight at Knights Stadium, ahead of the Premier League kick-off on Friday.
Semi-final results: Fawkner/Whittlesea (own goal) d Melbourne Knights 1-0.
South Melbourne (Kevin Nelson, Fernando De Moraes) d Kingston City (Joe Di Iorio) 2-1.
