All
games were crucial now as Group D drew closer
to its conclusion. None more so than Game 9 as
FCB Dunkles and Olhanense came head-to-head.Both
teams were on 3 points and needed a win to join
Mysterious Dwarves on 6 points and a chance to
make the Cup. Defeat would mean Plate/Wooden Spoon
whereas a draw would guarantee both a place in
the Plate.
FCB
Dunkles came into the came on the back of a win
whereas Olhanense had slumpled to defeat against
Cheesecake FC. You would expect FCB Dunkles to
go into the game high on confidence and maybe
that helped them take control of the game in the
opening period thanks to goals from Dom Bouloux
and Danny Griffiths.
Although
they were in control at 2-0 the game was not over
as Olhanense showed some fighting spirit. They
clawed their way back into the game with goals
from Rave Do'O and Albertino Paulos's third goal
of the tournament. The comeback was not a complete
one though as Dom Bouloux's second of the game
proved to be the match-winner. It was a great
win for FCB Dunkles and a great comeback from
2 defeats with 2 wins. They had given themselves
a chance of the Cup by moving into 2nd place –
they just needed Cheesecake FC to beat Mysterious
Dwarves in the final game and they would be one
of the elite 8 teams in the afternoon Cup draw.
Things
were less bright for Olhanense as they sat in
5th place and knew that they would be playing
for a little wooden utensil in the afternoon.
