One of the best aspects of CUGO's defeat of Goldsmith Williams was the added spice it would bring to the game between Duevi 1997 and Goldsmith Williams. Goldsmith Williams had never been in a position where they really needed to win a group game but this was the closest they had come. Duevi 1997 had a great opportunity to seal their place on top of Group A and virtually guarantee their place in the Cup already. If you are a man of logic you would say that CUGO beat Goldsmith Williams and Duevi 1997 beat CUGO so therefore Duevi 1997 should beat Goldsmith Williams. Simple?

Well no, when has logic ever played a part in football and Goldsmith Williams proved this theory was as sound as BP's health and safety record in the Gulf of Mexico . Maybe their delayed start left them rusty against CUGO but if that was the case they were firing on all cylinders now. Liam Currie scored twice to put them on the road to victory before Chris Williams added number 3 and Craig Ralph number 4. A special mention is also due to Gary Dean who kept a clean sheet against an Italian attack that had been on a run of 5 goals per game. Goldsmith Williams were back and in style as they rose to the summit of Group A. Did anyone really doubt them?

Dark Horses took their turn to claim the 3 walkover points against Fugitive which put them level with the crowd on 6 points at the top.

CUGO were back in action against Wilhelmus A in a Scotland versus Holland contest. The CUGO team continued their good form from their last match and carried into this one as they completed a solid 2-0 win. The goalscoring hero of this game was Stephen Maxwell with a goal in each half to see off their opponents. The goals put him on three for the tournament and a contender for the top goalscorer prize. The victory elevated CUGO on to 6 points and we now had a four-way tie at the top of Group A with just two games to go. Who's your money on in this group then?
