Black Sheep (Spa) were the longest serving team at the Barcelona Fives in today's tournament. They first appeared in June 2009 at the Barcelona Fives where they finished second in their group to qualify for the Cup Quarter-Finals. At this stage they said farewell losing a penalty shoot-out to the eventual winners, Anglo Knights. Their second appearance was at the 2011 Barcelona Fives where they won Group C with 4 wins out of 4. They progressed through the Cup QF this time but went out again on penalties – this time to Rapid Bosco Navas.

1 year later in 2012 they were winning Group D with 3 wins and 1 draw from their 4 games. They successfully negotiated the QF (v Banter Bus, Eng), the SF (v Budapest Celtic Pumas, Hun) and then won the final 1-0 versus Ireland's Saipan FC. Since then they had not been able to join us due to fixture clashes with their domestic league until 2018 where they could only make the Plate QF.

Today though they looked like they were back to their historically good form with 2 wins out of 2. That was shortly to become 3 wins out of 3 when they defeated Fk Aliance 2-0. A first half goal from Latvian Artjom Jesaibegjans against his countryman and a second half goal from Patrick Robinson sealed another victory.

 
 
 

Up next in Group C was Patagonia versus RAF Fylingdales. At the end of Round 2, Patagonia were joint third on goal difference with 3 points. They were just one point off second position and so a win here would put them in the Cup qualification places.

From an RAF Fylingdales perspective, they were currently at the foot of the table looking for their first points of the day.

Patagonia came into the game on the back of a defeat but they were back to winning ways in style. They quite literally hit their opponents for six as they swept to a stunning 6-0 win. There was 3 goals in each half with Matias, Milo Huelpa and Mariano on target before the break.

After the break, Martin (x2) and Juan (going by first names in true South American style) not only helped boost their team's points total but did their goal difference a whole lot of good too.

 
 
 

To complete Round 3 we had Paralytic Athletic U23s versus PVDC Eindhoven. Paralytic Athletic U23s may have come into this game with a spring in their step having just collected their first victory of the day. PVDC Eindhoven picked up a good point in Round 1 but had just tasted a 4-0 defeat to the current league leaders. However, a win here could lift them into fourth spot and potentially even third with a big win.

Both teams were making their second eurofootballfives.com appearance. PVDC Eindhoven were below par compared to their debut in Mallorca. They were 2 points better off at the same stage although they did grow into that tournament with 7 points from a possible 9 from Round 3 onwards. The same here could see another Cup challenge in the knock-out phase. Paralytic Athletic U23s were on par as they had the same points tally at this stage of their Riga 2018 debut. They then finished with 2 draws so would hope to finish off with a couple of wins here in Barca.

At the end of the first half we were locked together at 0-0 but, as is so often the case, this game was decided in the second period. It was PVDC Eindhoven who forged ahead with a double from Matty Armstrong. Although Bruce Helsey pulled one back for Paralytic Athletic U23s, the two goal salvo from Armstrong was enough to claim all 3 points from the men in camouflage shirts.
