Technical beat Mosgiel 6-1 in the Chatham Cup, following the Technical women's 4-1 loss to an impressive Coastal Spirit side in the Knockout Cup.
In crisp winter conditions, both games were marred by injuries. A Spirit player was taken to hospital during the early game, and a clash of heads in the men's match produced bloodied bandages and suspected concussion.
Technical's Josh Stewart played on with a turban bandage round his head, but Mosgiel centreback Aaron Corkill looked dazed and took no further part.
For Mosgiel coach Andrew Brook, the loss of defender Corkill stretched his paper thin squad which was already without four regular first choice players.
Yet, initially, Mosgiel gave as good as it got, with free flowing attacks at both ends of the pitch and a healthy partisan crowd roaring support.
But after Corkill went off, defender Andrew Douglas opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a close range shot after a melee in Mosgiel's goalmouth.
Technical pressed home its advantage with the bandaged Stewart bravely continuing as target man. Strong support came from runners up the flanks and from central midfield, where veteran Justin Flaws had a busy match.
Mosgiel had less ball but still had its moments as Cody Brook showed pace and the ability to go past defenders, receiving good service from Eder Franchini.
Just when halftime might have brought Mosgiel some relief, Flaws drilled a fierce shot past keeper Zane Green and it was 2-0 at the break.
After an initial flurry of resistance, Mosgiel struggled in the second half. Douglas scored again in the 52nd minute, then Alistair Rickerby scored a lovely goal, breaking to the left, yet hitting a clever shot off the outside of the right foot that sailed into Mosgiel's net.
Mosgiel hit back with a ripper goal of its own when Tom Cairns hammered in a free kick, but in the 76th and 78th minutes, Technical wrapped up the result with a goal from Taylor McCormack and, surprisingly, a penalty taken by keeper Tom Batty, who laced the ball past counterpart Green in the Mosgiel goal.
While Mosgiel coach Brook could only shake his head, Technical's Aaron Burgess individually and collectively praised his players.
''We showed intensity and won all the individual battles,'' Burgess said.
''In central midfield, Justin Flaws shrugged off the years, and had a superb game, capped by a well taken goal.''
In the Knockout Cup, Technical could not have made a worse start. Coastal Spirit scored straight from the kick off, after a left wing attack and cross set up Mal Cameron to hit the net in under a minute.
A shell shocked Technical side worked hard to get into the game, but Coastal Spirit's greater experience showed, and when New Zealand international Annalie Longo burst through and beat keeper Hannah Cook with a crisp shot, there was a mountain to climb.
Despite what looked like a leg fracture to Chloe Webster, who was taken to hospital, Coastal Spirit cruised to the finish.
Ashleigh Ward crossed for Cameron to head another goal and Longo scored again, before Technical's consolation penalty was taken by Chelsea Whittaker.
At Tonga Park, Caversham kept up its charge in the Football South Premier League by beating Roslyn-Wakari 5-0.
Tore Waechter scored after 15 minutes, and further goals by Andrew Ridden, Lewis Jackson (two) and Tom Jackson completed the result which places Caversham 13 points clear at the top of the league.
