Sesimbassa (Spa)

 

The first final of the day would see Sesimbassa and Warranty Direct come head-to-head to lift the 2010 Barcelona Fives Plate Title.

 

This was going to be a tough match to call. Sesimbassa were arguably the form team having one their last four games scoring 13 goals along the way. Their only defeat of the day was a long and distant memory at 10.30 this morning. Warranty Direct though had shown great spirit, determination and skill all day though and their Golden Goal victory against Hebden Bridge was testimony to the fact they would be a tough nut to crack.

 

The teams did indeed prove evenly matched and played out a keenly contested first half which saw the goals shared and a 1-1 scoreline. Jordi Hernandez scored his 5 th of the day but Chris Fajer's second of the tournament meant we were deadlocked. With time running out and the watching spectators investing more and more in the outcome of this final there came two decisive moments which were to swing this final.

 

The game had a goal and a sending off to make sure no-one watching left this game. In an otherwise tough but fair game Sesimbassa goalkeeper Andreu Xufre saw the red mist and then a red card as he took an unnecessary swipe at David Payne who was a constant threat throughout. After much debate and remonstrations Xufre had to leave the field and the Spanishwould have to play the remainder of this final with just 4 players. The extra man was a huge boost to Warranty Direct and they took full advantage as David Payne (who else?) bagged the all important winning goal to send his team crackers at the full time whistle. Both teams shook hands at the end of the game and all was well with the world again.
