A winner must come on the day. If the ties are tied, the game is decided by
A) Extra-time of ten minutes each way (with an interval of five minutes).
B) If extra-time does not produce a winner, it is ‘sudden death’. This period lasts a maximum of ten minutes and the first team to score any points wins.
C) Kicking competition.
