The first final of the day would see Deportivo Dooradoyle and Rigford Seahawks Omega come head-to-head to lift the 2011 Amsterdam Fives Plate Title. Who would emerge victorious? Well, we could look at their previous encounter in the group stage to give us a clue. On that occasion the Rigford Seahawks had emerged victorious, 2-1. That was the group stages though and it meant nothing now.

With seven games of football already under their belt the two teams would need to summon one last burst of energy to ensure they would be picking up winners and not runners-up medals in the presentation. Rigford Seahawks had been in two eurofootballfives.com finals before with a 100% success record that reads;

2009 Krakow Trophy Cup Final: 1-0 win versus Wola (Pol)

2009 Prague Trophy Plate Final: 5-0 win versus SK Zelenec (Cze)

A repeat result would make a nice little hat-trick! In contrast, Deportivo Dooradoyle were relative novices and on their first European tour. They had done superbly on their debut to reach a European final but could do nothing to prevent Tom Hallam giving the Seahawks a 1-0 half-time lead. It was Hallam's 7th goal of the day and arguably his most important. As you can see from the Seahawks record in finals they were yet to concede – Deportivo would have to break this record to give themselves a chance of picking up the winners medals.

It was a task that was to prove beyond them as Seahawks keeper Alex Harding kept a clean sheet. There was no further scoring at the other end either and 1-0 was the final score. Many congratulations to our winners – 3 eurofootballfives tours, 3 trophies.

Deportivo Dooradoyle, whilst disappointed, should not disconsolate though as they added a great deal to this tournament and we are sure success will come to them in future tournaments. The 2011 Amsterdam Fives Plate Winners – Rigford Seahawks Omega.
