42 games of competition down and one to go - the 2008 Barca Fives Cup Final. The game would be the last game of our 2008 season and decide the final silverware of a fantastic season. The two teams taking to the field to battle for the title were Rapid Bosco Navas of Spain and Red Light Runners of Scotland.

Rapid Bosco Navas finished 3rd in the group and if they were to win it would be the greatest comeback from a group finish to win a title we had seen so far in our 11th tournament to date. The Red Light Runners were looking to maintain a 100% record and become the first team to win two eurofootballfives.com titles.

Everything was going to plan for the Red Light Runners in the early stages keeping it tight at the back and then going ahead through Declan Doherty. With the tournament favourites going ahead it looked like the destination of the trophy was well on its way to being decided.

Rapid Bosco Navas were not to be beaten though and, just like the semi-finals, a Spanish team had pegged them back to 1-1. The crucial equaliser was scored by Jaume Camprubi Sannicolas. In the semi-final, Red Light Runners were able to put the disappointment of an equaliser behind them and kick on to get the winner. In the final though they were unable to repeat that feat and it was Rapid Bosco Navas that kicked on to score the 3rd goal of the game. The goal was scored by Juan Martinez Prieto who scored the winner in their semi-final against the Yorvik Blades. He was to prove the hero again as this goal proved to be the tournament winning goal.

It was unlucky 13 for the Red Light Runners whose 12 game winning streak came to an end. There was personal consolation for Stephen Doherty though who finished as the tournament top goalscorer with 11 goals in 7 games - a fine return.

Congratulations to Rapid Bosco Navas who claimed the inaugural Barca Fives title and became the first Spanish winners of a eurofootballfives.com competition. They say 2008 has been a great year for Spanish sport with the likes of Spain winning Euro 2008, Raphael Nadal becoming world tennis number 1 and now Rapid Bosco Navas winning the Barca Fives - surely the icing on the cake to every Spaniard. Well, maybe not, but still a great achievement for the Rapid Bosco Navas squad.

We would like to thank every team that competed in the tournament and made it such a great success. We look forward to seeing you all at one of our tournaments in 2009 when we kick-off again in Krakow on the 25th April.
