Four teams remain in Western Australia's Preliminary Rounds after a weekend that saw two former Round of 32 entrants eliminated by lower tier sides dreaming of a Cup fairytale.
Western Knights defeat Perth SC to advance
The Western Knights have upset Perth SC to claim a 3-1 victory in round 6 of the WestfieldFFA Cup at Nash Field on Saturday.
The win over last years’ PS4 NPLWA Premiers means the All Flags State League Division 1 side will be among the final four West Australian teams in the competition.
The home side got off to a dream start with a goal in the 8th minute before Perth responded just before half-time.
Two second half goals proved to be the difference between the Knights and their opponents.

The game ended on a sour note with Sam sent off for a second yellow card after pulling his shirt over his head during a celebration.

Eagles fly high with upset win over Cockburn
Dianella White Eagles striker Angel Andres has scored a hat-trick against his former team Cockburn City to take his side into round 7 of the Westfield FFA Cup.
The All Flags State League Division One side defeated the PS4 NPLWA side at Dalmatinac Park on Saturday 3-0.
Andres left Cockburn during the Summer and said the round 6 match was a great all-round team performance from his Dianella team mates.
“It was a good win for the team, yes I scored the goals, but we made the win together, and who’s next?” the Spanish striker said.
“It’s a great day for the club and we are in a good position on the table, but today we will celebrate and whoever we play next, we are ready for them.”
