So,
the last game on the field in Group B would
be LMH FC versus Melee FC. What was at stake
for these two teams?
For
LMH FC it was still possible to make the Cup.
The result above meant that a win would secure
third place for them. With Group B running ahead
of Groups A and C it was difficult to know if
this would be enough to qualify for the Cup.
Anything less would certainly mean the Plate
for LMH FC.
For
Melee FC, Cup qualification was already achieved.
The only question for them was would they be
going into the knock-out phase as Group B winners
or Group B runners-up. A win would achieve the
former, a draw or defeat would mean the latter.
Having
stormed to 9 points out of 9, Melee FC had ‘only'
drawn 3-3 with KPN Digital in the last game.
They were finding LMH FC an equally difficult
proposition with the teams level, 1-1, at the
break. Billy Henson (LMH FC) and Jack Dell (Melee
FC) were the men on target.
In
the second half Melee FC went on to grab the
victory with Chris Pilsbury the match-winner.
It was to be the only goal of the second half
as Melee FC won 2-1. The 3 points saw them win
Group B by a point over Magnum. It was their
third group victory having also won their group
at the 2015 Lisbon Tournament and 2017 Mallorca
Tournament.
