BA Speedbirds 2 were obviously grateful for the lunch break because in the first game back they won their first three points of the tournament against Team Amman B. Team Amman B holding their opponents to single figures for the second game running. Petra Laursen scored her first goal of the tournament to get the scoring going. She added a second and goals from Mandip Grewal, Kirsty Hall (2) and Jo Santa-Maria saw them to a 6-0 victory. A result that lifted them up a place from 6 th to 5 th in the group and just two points from qualification with one game to go.

 

BA Speedbirds went into their next game knowing a point would effectively see them safely through to the Cup (although not mathematically). This was going to be no easy task as their opponents were Liverbirds FC. Liverbirds FC brought a 100% records and a goal difference of +22 into the game. Liverbirds FC were not to have it all their own way in this game though despite taking the lead through Chantelle Thompson . BA Speedbirds 1 fought back and were back on terms when Lou Dutton found the net. They then matched their opposition all the way and deservedly took a point from the game. The game finished 1-1 and Liverbirds FC were to lose their 100% record. They still had an undefeated record to fall back on and were now 1 point clear at the top from Camden Town Ladies. A great performance from BA Speedbirds 1 who moved onto ten points in the tournament.

 

BA Speedbirds 2 were then asking their first team for favours needing their first team to beat Team Amman A to assist their cause as they hunted down 4 th place. BA Speedbirds 1 hardly needed this incentive as they knew a win would put them joint top with Liverbirds FC and second on goal difference. A result that would see Camden Town Ladies drop out of the top two for the first time in the competition.

 

Team Amman knew that a win themselves would see them jump into the qualification places and take 4 th place back from the Liverpool Feds. The game was a fully committed and close game with both teams knowing what was at stake. It took just one goal to settle it and a goal from Char Bungaroo that secured three points for BA Speedbirds 1. The 1-0 meaning they could finish no worse than 3 rd whilst Team Amman A and BA Speedbirds would go into a final game shoot-out with Liverpool Feds for 4 th spot.
