Comets Sports Club and The Nascherano Six began their 2008 Amsterdam Fives campaigns on Pitch A. It was to prove a good close opening encounter for each team to get the competitive juices flowing. In the shadows of the Ajax Amsterdam Arena it was the Comets Sports Club who drew the most inspiration as they ran out 2-1 winners to claim their first three points in eurofootballfives.com history. The Nascherano Six would have to wait for now to register their first points.

It was to be six of the best for Over Crusaders II when they met Zandi Boys of Rotterdam in their opening fixture. The English side proved to have just two much firepower for their opponents and despite the lads from Rotterdam getting on the scoresheet, the 6-1 final score reflected the dominance of Over Crusaders II who took first place in the group via goal difference from Comets Sports Club.

Nascherano Six would have come away from their first game disappointed with defeat but not despondent due to the close margin of the final score. They may well have been despondent after their second game though when they ran into a rampant Over Crusaders II. Over Crusaders II were dominant in their first game chalking up a 6-1 victory over Zandi Boys. They were merely warming up in that game though as they completed a 9-0 victory over the Nascherano Six. With 6 points in the bag and a goal difference of plus 14, Over Crusaders II were laying down an early marker in this tournament.

Whilst Over Crusaders II were wrapping up their second victory, Comets Sports Club were also making it two wins out of two on Pitch A as they secured a solid 4-0 win over Zandi Boys from Holland. The result secured Comets Sports Club safe passage through to the Cup qualification with a game to spare. Zandi Boys knew their fate lay in the Plate competition when they met Nascherano Six.

Going into the last games of Group C we knew who would be progressing to each competition but that did not mean there was nothing to play for going into the final games. Success in the final game would mean, in theory, an easier draw for the Quarter Final stages not to mention the small matter of pride.

At the top, Over Crusaders II and Comets Sports Club both sought to maintain their 100% records. With the superior goal difference it was Over Crusaders II who were favourites to do so. A draw in this game would mean they would claim the Group C title.

This was to prove Over Crusaders II sternest test thus far and Comets Sports Club battled hard but could not prevent their opponents sealing their 3 rd win out of 3. The game finished 4-2 and Comets Sports Club had to put the disappointment out of their minds for their forthcoming Cup Quarter Final against the winners of Group D.

The final game of the group saw the Nascherano Six and Zandi Boys determined to avoid Group C's wooden spoon. The Nascherano Six have Rob Nash to thank for ensuring that they would go into the knock-out phase without such a consolatory utensil. He scored four as The Nascherano Six completed a fine 5-2 victory over Zandi Boys. A defeat which concluded a disappointing group result for the lads from Rotterdam.
