Group A started the days proceedings with the opening pairings of IFC Stella versus Intellectual George and Whiteley FC taking on the local Dutch side, SV Amstelland United.

On Pitch A, IFC Stella will have been delighted to have scored twice in their opening fixture and no-one more so than double goalscorer Ian Canning. However, the joy was to be shortlived though as the defence proceeded to ship six goals to Scotland 's only representative in this competition. Intellectual George shared the goals around with Kenny Stewart, David Watson, Allan Thompson, Callum Nesbitt and Kevin Morrison (2) all able to lay claim to the fact they have scored in Europe . A 6-2 victory to the Scots, a great start for them and IFC Stella needing to bounce back.

On Pitch B, Holland met England in a 7-goal thriller which saw a young Dutch side, in the form of SV Amstelland, just edge out their visiting opponents. Dale Matthews, Jason Waterman and Nathanael Pearce all scored for Whiteley FC but ultimately the goals proved to be consolations. The final score of 4-3 meaning Scotland and Holland led the group with the two English sides sitting in 3 rd and 4 th .

Ian Canning of IFC Stella followed up his first game double with another goal in IFC Stella's second game against a strong looking Dutch SV Amstelland United team. Sadly for Ian Canning and his team-mates his goal would prove again to be a strike in a losing goal. Another six goals conceded all but secured IFC Stella's place in the Plate competition. The 6-1 victory by contrast meant that SV Amstelland were now on 6 points and could relax going into the final game with qualification assured.

Game 2 on Pitch B saw arguably the most competitive game of Group A with Whiteley FC, searching for their first points, taking on first round victors Intellectual George. The Scots were looking to build upon their solid start and a point here would put them well on their way to qualification. Whiteley FC were ultra-determined in this fixture and none more so than Dale Matthews who added to his first game goal with a hat-trick in this game. The three goals for Matthews would lead to three points for Whiteley FC as goals from Iain Stirling and David Watson meant Intellectual George fell just short. This proved to be a very close and entertaining game. With both teams on three points going into the final game it was effectively a straight shoot-out between these two teams to qualify for the Cup competition. Whiteley FC, on paper, had the easier final fixture and were in pole position.

Whiteley FC were to make no mistake in their final game with a comprehensive 8-1 win over IFC Stella. Whiteley FC shared the goals around with three new goalscorers for them. Aidan Wood (4), Paul Winch (3) and Emlyn Hughes took full advantage of their opportunities. The result wrapped up a disappointing group for IFC Stella. All was not lost for them though as the Plate quarter-finals beckoned in the afternoon whereby they could put the morning's results behind them.

Intellectual George had a tough ask to beat group leaders SV Amstelland. Whiteley FC's performance against IFC Stella was making the Scots task so much more difficult. Intellectual George would have to beat SV Amstelland convincingly but first of all they would need to secure three points. However, just as in their second game where they lost by the odd goal in a 7-goal thriller they would also lose out in this game by the odd goal but in an 11-goal thriller. The game was goals galore with SV Amstelland emerging victorious, 6-5.
