Sunday's encounter against Massacroni may not be do or die for Dunfermline just yet, but promotion to the second tier of AICS football will have to come across this crossroad, one way or another.
Unfortunately for The Pars, the potentially hardest game of the season looms at their lowest moment of collective form, owing a number of notable absentees who'll not be able to partake in the decisive game.
39 goal Marco Cantelli will not feature, owing to the injury that hit him last week against Hellas Begato, likely to sideline him for the contingent round of 16 against either Sampierdarena or Real Manin should Dunfermline fail to make the Excellence Group B top two.
Moreover, defender Fabio Frassinelli is also likely to miss out on the game, as he's on his recovery path from a measles affection, but the odds don't look any good for any sort of active involvement in the game.
This'll most probably trigger the deployment of manager Luigi Vanin at the back, considering the simultaneous absence of defender Giuseppe Buttitta, on a permit to see his family in Sicily, and the likeliness of that of goalkeeper Marco Semino, who was at once stage considered to be fielded at the back with Leonardo Perugini starting in goal.
Semino's on a fight for fitness, but a calf injury is seriously restraining his chances of featuring on Sunday.
The midfield pack is another reason for concern, as Alessio Di Noto has only just recovered from a knock on his back, whilst Aldo Marletta and Matteo Bovalino are two of way too few good news, their level of form nearing their respective best.
Andrea Borreani may also be called upon, but he's tied to Di Noto as far as FIGC scores are concerned and also not at this form peak following a slow recovery from a niggling ankle injury he sustained on the final matchday of the regular season against Borussia.
The only recognised striker available, Alberto Buccianti, will definitely start upfront, trying to carry a bigger burden than he has had to all season long, as his goals and back passed will be desperately required in the absence of Cantelli.
Should Dunfermline win the game, they'll be most certainly promoted, although they shall overcome the quarter finals formal hurdle to officially be sure of their Division B status.
Anything other than a win, on the other hand, will leave the lads with a further bit of nailbiting to do, firstly as they'll have to hear about the result from the other group encounter between Moro Populars and Hellas Begato, secondly because in case they should finish either 3rd or 4th in the group, they'll have to face a round of 16 tie with no further "parachutes".
Massacroni won their league group and currently top Excellence Playoff Group B, courtesy of a
4-0 off the pitch win against Begato themselves, who failed to turn up for the opening game of this phase, and a draw against Moro Populars.

ANALYSIS - Hellas Begato
MARCO SEMINO
He cannot be deemed at fault for any of Hellas goals, rather he produced a save-of-the season candidate as he denied Medicina, by deflecting the ball onto the crossbar with a pinpoint save.
GIUSEPPE BUTTITTA
He allowed Medicina to turn and swiftly score on the first goal occasion, and failed to clear his lines on the second. Apart from that, he caused a few too many free-kicks.
DAVIDE FILIPPI
He did reasonably well, struggling to keep the defence lines tight. He covered ground to make up for Cantelli in the first half and Marletta during the second period.
ALDO MARLETTA
He is back at his form and fitness levels, shame his goal didn't prove useful.
ALESSIO DI NOTO
He produced a good performance in the middle of the park, even when he suffered a knock on his back.
MARCO CANTELLI
He had a couple of efforts kept out by the keeper, before getting injured. His contribution would've been vital in the second half onslaught the lads put up.
ALBERTO BUCCIANTI
He suffered and struggled, as he was way too often on his own upfront.
MATTEO BOVALINO
Nobody quite understood why he wasn't included in the starting lineup, considering he's been perhaps Dunfermline's most consistent player this season. He had a chance to make it 2-2 but was denied by a brilliant save.
GAFFER LUIGI VANIN
Fair enough, Cantelli got injured therefore he was left with no outfield substitutions for the whole of the second half. But he'd gotten it all wrong by then already, as he bemusingly benched Bovalino and changed the face of a winning side by switching positions and roles in the middle of the park, where things matter more than in other areas of the pitch.
Obviously, Frassinelli's absence was a notable one, but this only underlines how poor his handling of the situation was, as he exposed an already weakened side to further difficulties and troubles at the back.
REFEREE MARIANNA MODICA
Possibly, the best ref in the whole AICS football area. Her handling of proceedings was constantly spot on and she was so effective she didn't even have to use her cards.

HELLAS BEGATO - DUNFERMLINE 3-1
There might have been a sense of distress and emptiness in and around Dunfermline's dressing room minutes after the final whistle on Sunday night, but the defeat at the hands of Hellas Begato was the result of a far from diminishing performance on the part of a brave side, who only happened to be on the receiving end of a 3-1 scoreline on the back of a game which couldn't have been any tighter.
The lads gave it their all and were unfortunate to collect nothing out of it, but the only reason for regret really lies in the fact that had they won this game, they'd probably be celebrating their access to the second tier of AICS football.
Instead, they were left to deal with a final group stage match against Massacroni, one they'll have to face without injured striker Marco Cantelli and otherwise engaged Sicilian defender Giuseppe Buttitta, whilst it is still unclear whether Fabio Frassinelli will feature following his measles affection which kept him out last night.
Gaffer Vanin could count on Marco Semino in goal, the back pack being composed by Davide Filippi and Buttitta himself.
To the surprise of many, though, Vanin benched in form midfielder Matteo Bovalino, opting for a midpark lineup including Aldo Marletta on the right, Alessio Di Noto in the middle and Marco Cantelli wide on the left flank.
Alberto Buccianti completed the starting 7 upfront, and proceedings got underway under a brilliant direction by referee Marianna Modica.
Dunfermline started attacking and creating openings, Cantelli going close once or twice before Medicina opened the scoring for Hellas on virtually their first chance of the match.
It was a long dipping ball the Hellas striker tamed brilliantly, getting past Buttitta in quite some style before firing a low shot which went straight down the middle, leaving Semino with no chance.
Dunfermline, though, didn't lose their composure, and resumed their attacking place, Cantelli was kept out by the goalie whilst Marletta's long range effort went just wide of the mark.
Buccianti helped his team create the spaces they needed, and Di Noto opted for a last grasp pass in towards Cantelli instead of shooting from close range.
Drama struck towards the end of the first half, though, as Cantelli ran for a loose ball, only to be hit on his ankle by Hellas goalkeeper, who stood on it in the process and caused an injury which was later assessed as a sprain but had the immediate effect of withdrawing The Pars' topscorer from the game.
HALF TIME: Hellas Begato 1, Dunfermline 0
The second half got underway and soon reserved another unexpected twist, as Buttitta failed to clear his lines from a scruffy piece of play and Medicina found it way too easy to notch home from 2 yards to make it 2-0.
By huffing and puffing, Dunfermline sent their charges forward, and had a number of half-chances, also marred by a wee bit inaccuracy when it most mattered, the final passes resulting sloppy or overdone from time to time.
Even so, they managed to pull one back, as a poor clearance was intercepted by Marletta, who coolly controlled the ball and fired a dipping shot into the top corner to give his side a glimmer of hope.
Medicina was later denied by Semino, who deflected a fantastic shot onto the crossbar, before The Scots hit the woodwork themslves, through a shot on the turn by Buccianti which had left the goalkeeper wrongfooted.o
Bovalino had a further glorious chance to level matters but his brilliant volley from a Buttitta throw in was parried away by the goalkeeper.
Unfortunately for The Pars, matters got settled soon after that, as Riciputo found the narrowest of paths to beat Semino from the right handside of the box to make it 3-1 and all but end Dunfermline's hopes for the game.
Credit to Hellas, who played well and correctly, and ultimately deserved to win for they made their chances count.

Hellas Begato failed to turn up in forces for the opening match of their playoff campaign against Masscaroni last Sunday, as only 4 players made their way to the Ungaretti ground and the game was subsequently called off and Massacroni were contextually handed a 4-0 win.
This means Hellas will be desperate for points against Dunfermline on May 25th, whereas The Pars will most definitely make the group top-two should they beat their opponents on a matchday also including a fixture between Moro Populars and Massacroni themselves.
Marco Semino, Dunfermline's No 1, is not certain to feature as he may well be otherwise engaged, but should he not be available for selection, the odds are for Leonardo Perugini to start in his place, following Antonio Minnella's disappointment at being withdrawn from the squad just minutes before the time deadline the lads had been given to turn up at the pitch last Sunday.
Such an issue has also raised concerns about the handling of and communication with the members of the squad on the part of Luigi Vanin, the gaffer, who is going to be summoned by his club once the playoffs have reached their completion, in order to discuss any possible developments ahead of next season.
Certainly, the tier Dunfermline will play in will have a major bearing on the club's decision as to whether Vanin should soldier on next term, however that will not be the only factor to be taken into account.
At the back, Davide Filippi will return following his one match ban, with both Fabio Frassinelli and Giuseppe Buttitta also available. The latter surely made an impact on the game against Moro Populars last Sunday, however he's not certain to retain his starting spot agains Hellas.
In midfield, Alessio Di Noto is probably going through his best period of the season and whilst Matteo Bovalino's form has never been a concern, Aldo Marletta, too, is getting back to his best after a relatively dipping period.
Marco Cantelli will be either deployed on the left flank or upfront, but the former option appears more likely, with Alberto Buccianti set to play the lone striker role.
Andrea Borreani's involment appears less likely as the midfielder is still trying to recover from a niggling ankle injury, therefore Vanin may well count on as few as 8 outfield players for the game.
This is going to be the first-ever encounter between the two sides, Hellas Begato having plied their trade in Division C Group C during the course of the regular season, occupying the runners-up spot at the end of it, just 4 points behind league winners A Selesiun.
Their main marksman, Riciputo, is nearing a 40 goal tally, while other notable goalgetters are recognisable in Medicina, Mammone and Venezia.

ANALYSIS - Moro Populars
MARCO SEMINO
A surprising inclusion as he'd previously declared himself unavailable for the game, Marco let one in as Moro Populars took charge early on. His composure and personality, though, allowed him to bounce back from that earlier blunder and although he didn't have much to worry about, he helped his side to victory.
GIUSEPPE BUTTITTA
Parhaps his best performance of the season, the Sicilian defender handled his direct opponents effectively all match long. He often started his side's moves with a spot on choice of passes and crosses.
FABIO FRASSINELLI
Rock-solid, just as usual. He, too, tried to contribute to the attacking play of his side and did it well when required to do so. His handling of the back-pack is extremely mature, and tonight was no exception.
MATTEO BOVALINO
As always, he ran for two and was adept in his capacity. He also had one or two shots at goal, close enough to scare the opponents' keeper.
ALDO MARLETTA
Not at his best just yet, but he did reasonably well even when deployed on the left handside.
He scored from a brilliant free kick and was substituted following a knock on his head.
MARCO CANTELLI
He grabbed the goals that finished Moro off. His first goal illustrated how powerful he is, his second went to underline his composure. It's 39 for the season, and he doesn't appear to be done either.
ALBERTO BUCCIANTI
He had to sacrifice for the team, as he often does to good effect. He also had a couple of chances, and he'd have scored but for a last ditch clearance on the line. Excellent game, though.
ALESSIO DI NOTO
On the night, he probably put up a man-of-the-match performance, as his introduction on the pitch changed the completion of the game in Dunfermline's favour. A goal to make it all square just before half time and a brilliant run and assist to help Cantelli score the last goal of the match were his most remarkable contributions.
MANAGER LUIGI VANIN
He utilised his customary first half substitution for the first time in a while, which proved an extremely well worked move as Di Noto proved a major asset in midfield. He contextually shifted Cantelli upfront and Marletta on the left, and operated his rotation in style and with plenty of awareness.
REFEREE FARNETANI
He cheaply booked Di Noto, but his handling of the game was even, albeit too strict from time to time. Good performance, overall.

DUNFERMLINE - MORO POPULARS 4-1
Dunfermline kick-started their playoff campaign by easing past Moro Populars at Via Ungaretti on Monday night.
Vanin couldn't count on the suspended Filippi and the newly injured Borreani, but Semino was a welcome surprise inclusion as he rendered himself available at the last minute to leapfrog Minnella in the goalkeeping pecking order, with Perugini playing second fiddle to the influential goalie.
The defence was composed by Frassinelli and Buttitta, while Marletta, Bovalino and Cantelli were initially deployed in midfield, Buccianti playing upfront as a lone striker.
Proceedings got underway and Moro Populars immediately lived up to the expectations, by sticking to a gameplan which didn't contemplate any particular flare nor brilliance.
A tight side at the back, Moro could deploy D'Izzia and Giannoni in the middle, providing plenty of muscles albeit without an extra spark capable of imperilling Dunfermline much.
However, just as The Pars appeared to start exerting some sort of stranglehold on their opponents, Moro's topscorer Rocco Baldi found an opener as his shot from the right hand flank left Semino fazed and the ball found its way onto the back of the net to make it 1-0.
Vanin resumed his habit of making a change during the course of the first half, and soon introduced Di Noto for Buccianti, contextually shifting Cantelli upfront and Marletta to the left flank.
Such move paid dividends as Marletta dispossessed Baldi in midfield, to start a counter attacking move, with Cantelli making a brilliant switch of play in towards Di Noto, whose ensuing low drive found Fedeli, Moro Populars keeper, late on the dive.
HALF TIME: Dunfermline 1, Moro Populars 1
The second half got underway and Dunfermline soon looked to have the better of their opponents, however a cutting edge was hard to be found and it took a customary free-kick to establish the Scots in the lead.
Marletta once again latched onto a loose ball in midfield, made some ground upfront, only for D'Izzia to bring him down close to the left flank.
The ensuing free-kick was taken softly but firmly by Marletta, who gave his side the lead, also courtesy of a Cantelli movement, which wrongfooted Fedeli.
Moro had to send their charges forward, which played in favour of Dunfermline, who found a perhaps decisive goal as Cantelli hit his 38th of the season after picking the ball from a long range clearance and smashing it past Fedeli to make it 3-1.
Di Noto produced yet another moment of brilliance a few minutes later, as he carried the ball forward and found himself with Buccianti and Cantelli to choose from to cap the move.
He picked the latter, who coolly drove the ball past Fedeli to finish the opponents off and make it 4-1

PREVIEW - Moro Populars
The first ever encounter between Dunfermline AFC and Moro Populars will be one of the fixtures on Gameweek 23, also representing the first matchday of the final phase of the AICS Division C league.
Both included in the Excellence Playoffs' Group B, Dunfermline and Moro finished their respective league groups in the top-two, but while the former actually won the league, the latter had to be content with the runners-up spot, having missed out on the title by only two points to Condo United.
The Populars have been a hard-to-beat side all season long, having been befallen by defeat only thrice, and having shared the best defence of their league group with Condo themselves.
On the other hand, they haven't scored much, as they could only manage 77 in 22 games, defender Rocco Baldi currently topping their own scoring chart with a 15 goal tally.
This could partly mean that Moro are a team based on a number of all-rounders, a rock-solid defence and a togetherness which surely is one of their most recognisable features, but Dunfermline haven't been too different from such a description, except for the fact they managed to place 3 players, Cantelli, Marletta and Buccianti, beyond the 20 goals mark.
However, The Pars' moment isn't exactly their best of the season, having just been thumped by Le Café in a perhaps not-so-indicative test match against Le Café, but more broadly affected by a weariness which, if underrated, could present the lads with a few negative surprises following a brilliant regular season.
Gaffer Vanin is still uncertain about whether or not he'll be able to count on his No 1's services, as Marco Semino may have played his last game of the season against Borussia on the final matchday of the group stage. Should he not be available for selection, Atnonio Minnella looks favourite for a starting spot ahead of Leonardo Perugini.
Dunfermline will be without one of their best men this term, Davide Filippi, who'll be serving a one match ban following his caution against Borussia, so the back pack should be composed by Fabio Frassinelli and Giuseppe Buttitta, unless Vanin opts for a makeshift at the back for Matteo Bovalino, who fared reasonably well when deployed supporting the back-two.
Bovalino's presence, though, may be desperately needed in midfield as well, considering that Aldo Marletta has been out of fitness over the past few weeks, and Alessio Di Noto is a doubt following a niggling thigh injury which could harm his chances of being fully involved.
With Andrea Borreani sidelined for the rest of the season, Marco Cantelli is likely to be deployed on the left flank, whereas Alberto Buccianti should play as a lone striker upfront.

GAMEWEEK 22 - Results / Round Up
BORUSSIA - DUNFERMLINE 3-4
Motta (3) / Cantelli (3), Marletta
Dunfermline won the league courtesy of a final matchday away win to 7th placed Borussia, who put up a great fight with a look to spoiling the Scots' party. However, Marco Cantelli produced yet another hat-trick to reach 37 for the season, while Marletta grabbed a goal from a customary free-kick
AMICI DI BERTO - ASTON VILLA SCASSI 8-2
Calcagno (7), Cappa / Tezza, Bottari
Aston Villa ended their season much in the same way as they had carried it on, by being thrashed, this time at the hands of 2nd placed Amici di Berto, who had previously secured their top-two status but whose bid for first place was brought to an end by Dunfermline just 24 hours later.
NEW REDS PONENTE - SAMPIERDARENA NCLM 0-4 (*3-3 on the pitch)
Ilardo (2), Milazzo / Ferrea E. (2), Ferrea A.
Sampierdarena collected full points after New Reds were penalised for fielding Germano, actually supposed to be serving a one match ban. Sampierdarena finish 3rd in the league, but look strong candidates to cause a few upsets at the playoff stage, whereas New Reds Ponente had already reached qualification for the finals.
NEVER ALONE SOCCER - COMPAGNIA DELLE INDIE 5-3
Ruffino, Pretelli, Parodi D. (2), Dell'Olio / Gambetta (2), Catanzano
Never Alone completed their season on a high, by securing 4th berth in the league, an achievement Compagnia could've reached themselves had they managed to beat the home side on this occasion. Both sides, though, qualify for the playoffs.
XENEIXES - LAS CUEVAS 4-0 (*)
Las Cuevas ended their season the worst possible way, by failing to turn up for the final game of the regular season, thus gifting Xeneixes 3 useless points. Las Cuevas have been on an extremely poor run of results and don't look up for a promotion challenge via the playoffs, whereas Xeneixes finish 10th in the table, 7 points adrift of 8th placed New Reds
INTERNAZIONALE - LE CAFE 0-4 (*)
Internazionale pulled out a month back, Le Café therefore collected their final 3 points of the season, to no avail though as they'd been blocked from access to the playoff a week earlier.

I nostri avversari
cari ragazzi, ancora complimenti a tutti per il grande campionato svolto e alle emozioni che ci siamo regalati durante questi mesi, ma ora ci aspetta la volata finale, quindi ricarichiamo le energie nervose e fisiche che ci servono per rendere al meglio nelle prossime tre partite, giusto non fare previsioni e per ora parlo solo di quelle sicure che faremo...
Tutti sanno già che i nostri prossimi avversari saranno moro populars, hellas begato e massacroni...
Forse non tutti sanno che....
I Moro Populars sono una squadra "vecchiota" e di esperienza, che sè classificata seconda dopo un campionato in rimonta nel loro girone a 2 soli punti dalla prima e a ben 6 lunghezze dalla terza. E' una squadra di tutto rispetto che ha inanellato, durante la stagione, ben sette vittorie di fila e non perde addirittura dalla nona giornata del campionato. Vanta un ottima difesa solo 51 goals subiti, ma un attacco non proprio spumeggiante "solo" 77 goals fatti, distribuiti su tutti i componenti della rosa, possiamo elencare Baldi e Montalbano rispettivamente 15 e 14 goals segnati. Quindi una compagine arcigna e dura da battere, stiamo in guardia e non ci facciamo ingannare dai numeri.
L'Hellas Begato si è classificato secondo nel girone c a 4 punti dalla prima e 5 alla terza ma ha limitato sempre nelle prime tre posizioni per tutta la durata del campionato, quindi se vogliamo è anche abituata a certe pressioni. Vanta un ottimo attacco 107 goals (5 in più di noi) e una difesa buona 59 goals subiti e due ottimi attaccanti Riciputo 39 goals fatti e Medicina 20 goals; anche di loro c'è poco da fidarsi gran bella squadra.
Il Massacroni sono decisamente i favoriti basti guardare i loro numeri 112 goals fatti (solo Berto ha fatto meglio in tutta la divisione) 47 goals subiti miglior difesa delle divisione insieme alla Selesun hanno il capocannoniere della divisione, Pedroni con 42 goals, ma anche Grieco ed Esibiti che hanno fatto 24 e 18, anche loro non perdono da tanto(dodicesima giornata vs Quei Bravi Ragazzi) e hanno una striscia positiva di 10 giornate.
Noi d'altro canto ci misureremo con loro nell'ordine in cui ve le ho presentate e secondo me può risultare un vantaggio; comunque i nostri dati li conosciamo e la nostra forza pure quindi non sto a riscrivere numeri che già conosciamo perchè ne siamo stai i primi artefici. Tutti consapevoli di essere Dunfermline e di avere bene in mente il proprio punto di forza, visto che ognuno di noi, a suo modo, ne abiamo uno, e grazie ad esso ha contribuito a rendere migliore la squadra in primis e poi il gruppo.
Forza e onore ragazzi un grande in bocca a lupo a tutti in vista del girone di eccellenza

ANALYSIS - Borussia
MARCO SEMINO
He could be deemed at fault for the second goal from Borussia, but he reassured the lads with his presence, just as usual. Shame his season looks to have reached its end ahead of the finals, but his contribution to the league winning campaign has been absolutely fantastic and he'll be missed.
DAVIDE FILIPPI
He played extremely well, snuffed out attacks and was often penalised by a few debatable ref's decisions, most notably when he got cautioned for a foul he'd initially suffered rather than conceded. This means he'll miss out on the first playoff game against Moro Populars, and his absence could be a massive downside.
FABIO FRASSINELLI
His partnership with Filippi has been one of the keys to Dunfermline's success so far this season, and it's not by mere chance that The Pars conceded the fewest goals in the group.
As for Filippi, he wasn't always supported by the midfield pack on the night.
MATTEO BOVALINO
This player has got quality, therefore he's quality. Then, he doesn't mind putting in a little extra effort and sacrifice for the team, which makes him even more precious for his club's fortunes.
Monday night was no exception.
ALDO MARLETTA
Not his best game of the season and nowhere near his top form. Even so, he scored from a free-kick and was involved in at least two of the other goals of his team. The one week break ahead of the finals will most probably do for him to regain some form.
ANDREA BORREANI
He hit the ground running on the night, and was unfortunate to limp off the pitch with what appeared at first as a recurrence of a fractured ankle, which had kept him out for a couple of months following his debut against New Reds Ponente back in November 2007.
Hopefully, the final diagnosis won't be as harsh.
MARCO CANTELLI
Another hat-trick, to bring his season tally to 37, and yet again a man-of-the-match performance, this player's taken off and he looks unstoppable at the minute.
ALBERTO BUCCIANTI
Once again, he proved one of the in-form lads. He created openings and fought with the opposition's defence to a good extent.
He didn't score on the night, but he's definitely ready for a mouth-watering final part of the season.
GAFFER LUIGI VANIN
He couldn't count on Buttitta, which is going to be the object of scrutiny over the next couple of weeks, as his defender didn't turn up without providing either him or any of his team-mates with any sort of explanation for his absence.
This resulted in Filippi being injured and yellow-carded, which means Dunfermline's No 8 is going to be suspended for the game against Moro Populars.
The manager kept his cool and witnessed yet another night full of heroics, albeit scarce in brilliance.
REFEREE NICOLINI
Filippi's caution let alone, he didn't make any major mistakes. However, he rarely looked capable of handling a not-so-difficult game to referee.

BORUSSIA - DUNFERMLINE 3-4
THE FLOWERS OF SCOTLAND - Mission: accomplished
Dunfermline met and made history on Monday night, as they collected a precious 4-3 away win against 7th placed Borussia, to claim the league title ahead of a promotion bid which is going to take the lads to an Excellence Playoff Group also involving Moro Populars, Hellas Begato and fellow league winners Massacroni, the only side in the whole Division C capable of reaching a higher point tally than Dunfermline's.
On the night Luigi Vanin, The Pars' manager, deployed Semino in goal, for what could well have been his last game of the season, while the back pack was composed by Filippi and Frassinelli, who were both a yellow card away from missing out on the first playoff tie through suspension.
This was partly due to the fact Sicilian defender Buttitta failed to turn up, which is going to implicate harsh consequences for the Fifers' No 55.
Bovalino, Marletta and Borreani started in midfield, with main marksman Cantelli playing the lone striker.
During the first half, Borussia looked at times a far better side than their 7th position might have told, however Dunfermline had a couple of attempts blocked and failed to find a breakthrough.
HALF TIME: Borussia 0, Dunfermline 0
As Dunfermline's hopes of winning the league title were inevitably matched to a victory on the day, Borussia seemed to gather some courage and tried to push for a goal, but they were punished when they least expected it, as Bovalino and Buccianti combined well, the latter - introduced during the first half for the injured Borreani - serving an excellent ball to Marletta, whose shot was fumbled by Borussia keeper, only for Cantelli to latch on to the ensuing loose ball and establish the lads in the lead.
The width of the Ca de Rissi pitch proved on one hand extremely handy for Dunfermline's players technique and vision, on the other hand, though, it backfired a little, as the midfielders didn't look capable of supporting their back-pack as a few counter attacking moves on the part of the home side wreaked havoc.
Cantelli was once again pivotal in earning his side a free-kick just outside the box, from a Semino clearance, only for the forward to be taken down.
Marletta stepped up to take the ensuing free-kick, and he drove the ball low past the keeper in the bottom left corner, to make it 2-0, customary.
Dunfermline, though, failed to kill the opponents off, and Borussia pulled one back following yet another fine counter attack.
Cantelli immediately made it 3-1 after receving the ball from Clegg and driving it low on the bottom right corner from outside the box, but Borussia hit back once again courtesy of a 15 yard effort which surprised Semino.
Bovalino provided Buccianti with a marvel of a delivery, only for the Tuscan striker to head the ball over the bar, before Cantelli seemed to have sealed it with yet another hat-trick, bringing his season tally to an incredible 37.
The Pars' No 6 received the ball on the left handside of the box, and though he was left with a narrow path to place the ball into, he did well to wrongfoot the goalie with his left foot to make it 4-2.
A couple of unfortunate deflections off a couple of Dunfermline players were to blame for the final goal of the match, a 3-4 which made things slightly edgier, even though the home side didn't create any further dangers and were left to witness the not so noisy joy the lads celebrated their title winning campaign with.

THE OTHER DIVISION C GROUPS
With the final matchday of the Division C regular season looming, dunfermlineafc.blogspot.com is keen to analyse what the other groups, other than Group B, have in store ahead of the forthcoming finals, with Dunfermline being directly affected as far as the top-two clubs of each group are concerned, with the Excellence Playoff Groups are due to get underway on 18th May.
___________________________
GROUP A
Standings
48 Condo United
46 Moro Populars
40 Carrapippi
37 Slot Machine
35 Tsunami Pegli
31 Asla Genova
28 Davagna
25 Dinamo Murca
24 Peones

FINAL MATCHDAY
Slot Machine - Hattrick Federation
Davagna - Moro Populars
Sarveghi - Peones
Carrapippi - Ayroli Street
Dinamo Murca - Tsunami Pegli
Asla Genova - Condo United
VIEW
Condo United will be certain of topping the group should they avoid defeat at the hands of Asla Genova on Sunday. Moro Populars are, indeed, two points behind the front runners and with a disadvantage in direct matches goal difference. Should Dunfermline finish top of their own group, they'd most certainly face Moro in the Excellence Playoffs.
Peones will have to beat bottom side Sarveghi and contextually hope Tsunami Pegli can get at least a point from their encounter with Dinamo Murca.
Hattrick are virtually out of the playoffs.

Rivar Plate - A Selesiun
Fegino - Boca Proposta
Uepez 77 - Circonvallao
Hellas Begato - Atletico Belvedere
Boca Zena - Hearts 1893
Controcamper - Sporting Liguria
VIEW
Should Hellas and Selesiun finish level on points, the latter would top the table courtesy of a better goal difference in direct matches. The odds, though, are for Selesiun not to need such a thin margin of certainty to win the league, as they take on Rivar Plate on the final game of the regular season.
Hellas will be likely Dunfermline's opponents in the Excellence Playoff Group, whilst all other playoff berths have been assigned already, with the exact positions yet to be confirmed.
Circonvallao, Rivar, Controcamper and Fegino are all out of the playoff frame.
