With 39 games done and dusted there was just one match to go – the 2009 Amsterdam Fives final.

The first of our two finalists were the Blazers Army who had reached this stage with two golden goal winners in the previous two rounds showing they would be no pushovers in this contest. They were bidding to be only the second team in eurofootballfives.com history (16 tournaments to date) to finish 3rd in their group and then go on to lift the Cup trophy. Spain 's Rapid Bosco Navas achieved this feat in the 2008 Barca Fives.

Their opponents would be the Bull Heads who were certainly the favourites going into this game having beaten their final opponents 4-0 in the Group C game this morning. There would be pressure on the Bull Heads who had it all to lose with the more experienced squad against the Blazers Army who with an average age of 17 were the youngest team to reach a final. With such a young squad they were bound to have the neutrals on their side.

The Bull Heads handled the pressure and the occasion superbly and got off to just the start they needed through Jose Fernandes. The Blazers Army, arguably the tournament's surprise package, were not to be written off though and battled hard to stay within striking distance of their opponents. They made sure the Bull Head's did not have it all their own way and kept the match competitive until the end.

In the second half, Jose Fernandes scored his second goal of the final to all but seal the trophy for the Bull Heads. When the referee blew the final whistle on the days proceedings the result was 2-0.

Big congratulations to our winners of the 2009 Amsterdam Fives – Bull Heads.

The top goalscorer prize was also settled. Jose Fernandes's two goals in the final had usurped the days efforts of Bimmce Sekeyeke's 7 goals to put him top of the goalkeeping tree with 8 in 6 matches.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the tournament and made it such a great day of competition. The tournament was a great way to sign off our 2009 summer season – we can't wait for Autumn 2009 and Summer 2010.

We look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
