The
2013 Barcelona Fives Trophy Final would see Drunk
Perfect meet Deportivo Dooradoyle. Let's have
a look at our two contenders;
Drunk
Perfect
Playing
in their 3rd eurofootballfives.com tournament
and this was to be their first Final after two
previous Quarter-Final exits in Barcelona (Cup
in 2011, Plate in 2012). Drunk Perfect had lost
their first three games today but bounced back
in sensational style with 3 consecutive wins scoring
17 goals in those 3 games. Dooradoyle defence
watch out!
Deportivo
Dooradoyle
Were
also playing in their 3rd eurofootballfives tournament
and were playing in their second final. They lost
in the 2011 Amsterdam Fives Plate Final and were
hoping to swap Runners-up medals for Winners medals
today. They came to the Final with two wins on
the bounce and two consecutive clean sheets –
Drunk Perfect forwards watch out!
Would
it be the free-scoring Drunk Perfect or the solid
Deportivo Dooradoyle who would prevail? Neither
style would completely dominate as the Irish defence
was breached and the Spanish goalscoring was curtailed.
The game finished 1-1 in normal time as Damien
Digonnet's goal for Drunk Perfect cancelled out
Keith Lynch's goal for Deportivo Dooradoyle.
A
penalty shoot-out ensued. Drunk Perfect were to
shoot first and missed handing the initiative
to Deportivo Dooradoyle who converted through
Sean O'Donnell. Drunk Perfect quickly equalized
before Ger O'Loughlin restored the lead. Drunk
Perfect missed their third penalty and it was
all over. It was a cruel way for Drunk Perfect
to end the tournament but they had Runners-Up
medals in the presentation as a small consolation.
