SDZ Amsterdam were late withdrawals from the 2009 Amsterdam Fives handing Amsterdamage a 3-0 victory in the opening game of Group B without kicking a ball in anger.

Wafty Crankers and Bartley Greeners would need to kick a ball to earn their first points though. Both teams had played in the 2008 Prague Masters (although not against each other) so were eager to show how they had progressed since then. Wafty Crankers had achieved the better results last year but it was the Bartley Greeners who were showing the early signs of making greater progress. Andy Ross scored in the first half to put them 1-0 up. The lead was to last until half-time.

It does not happen often that a team can overturn a half-time deficit in eurofootballfives.com competition but that is exactly what the Wafty Crankers would need to do here. They managed it too when they equalized through James Rowland. With the momentum now in their favour it was Neil Fraser who would prove to be the Wafty Crankers match winning hero as he scored the game's crucial third and final goal to secure a 2-1 victory.

Amsterdamage would take the field for the first time against Wilhelmus who had made the journey from the Hague to join the day's festivities. In this game it was the defences who enjoyed the festivities more than the forwards as the teams were deadlocked at 0-0.

Wafty Crankers turned three points into six with their walkover against SDZ. We were then on the field again with Bartley Greeners looking to avenge first game defeat against a Wilhelmus side looking to build upon a solid opening draw. Just as they had done so in their opening game, Bartley Greeners took a first half lead. This time it was Simon Laidley who claimed the goal. They would hope to maintain their lead this time and register their first victory of the tournament. They seemed to learn from their opening game experience and although Wilhelmus tried they could not beat Chris Pinnington in the Bartley Greeners goal. The game finished 1-0.
