The
2010 Amsterdam Fives Plate Final would see a rematch
of the Group A encounter of Dark Horses versus
CUGO. On that occasion CUGO won 3-1 and finished
6 points clear of their opponents in the Group
table.
They
went into the game as favourites and lived up
to their billing as Neil Sounness put them 1-0
up. CUGO went 1-0 down in their 3-1 win earlier
in the day so this goal meant 4 goals without
reply against the Dark Horses and the momentum
was certainly in Scotland 's favour. Dark Horses
were not to be beaten though as Richard Walker
claimed the goal that brought his team level at
1-1. This was not to be the end of the scoring
in an open and entertaining first half as Chris
Bunclark scored the best goal of the game as he
drilled a left foot piledriver into the bottom
left hand corner of the keeper's net.
The
goal put Dark Horses 2-1 up at the break and they
had come from behind in an exact role reversal
of the group game. In the exact mirror image of
the group game Neil Randell made the final score
3-1 to sow up the title for the Dark Horses. It
was a fantastic performance and a fantastic achievement.
There
was also personal glory for Dark Horses captain
Richard Walker who claimed the Top Goalscorer
trophy with a grand total of 8 goals.
Commiserations
to CUGO – we look forward to seeing you in eurofootballfives.com
action again soon and we can definitely see this
squad winning silverware before too long.
Ladies
and gentleman, we present you with the 2010 Amsterdam
Fives Plate Winners…
