The last Plate final of the eurofootballfives.com 2008 season would be held in Barcelona between teams from the Czech Republic and England. The final would see the experienced DHL Prague Red side take on the eurofootballfives.com newcomers of 3 Lions FC.

This was the third final contested by DHL Prague following defeat in the 2007 Prague Trophy Cup and defeat again in the 2008 Prague Trophy Plate final. The Czech's were hoping this would be third time lucky and the first time they would get their hands on one of our coveted trophies. This task would not be easy as 3 Lions FC had found a rich vein of form winning three out of their last four games and the last two in convincing fashion scoring 10 goals in the process.

They would continue their goalscoring touch in the final through Andrew Dutton but the greater experience of the Czech's told in the end as Dan Findley and Rupert Baltrock each scored their fifth goals of the campaign to give DHL Prague Red a 2-1 lead. There was to be one final goal though as DHL Praguesecured the destination of the trophy. The goal went to Stephen Parry who, fittingly, scored the final goal of the game in his final performance for DHL Prague Red before moving to Australia. The goal completed a 3-1 win and sparked a champagne celebration for the winners.

Comiserations to 3 Lions FC who had been a credit to the tournament and had come so close to finishing the tournament in glory.
