The
defeat for Mitre FC B certainly helped the teams
above them and it was now arguably 2 teams from
3 to reach the Cup competition. Club Esportiu
Llefia were top by 3 points and could clinch
their Cup Semi-Final berth with victory over
third placed Barrymoore's Swimming Club.
Conversely,
a win for Barrymoore's Swimming Club would see
them join their Spanish opponents at the top.
If this was to happen and Bjorn Helge Riise's
Pieces won the game following this we could
be looking at 3 teams locked together on 12
points going into Round 6. However, that was
all theoretical.
The
practical was now occurring on Pitch D and it
was Club Esportiu Llefia who were on their way
to victory number 5. Still no-one had been unable
to lock that steadfast defence. Barrymoore's
Swimming Club were the latest team to try and
fail to score past Ramon Betat Segu. Francisco
Lorenzo Gonzalez had scored many a goal in previous
editions of the tournament but was yet to score
today…until now. In goal-scoring terms he was
the difference between the two sides as he scored
twice to secure a 2-0 win to Club Esportiu Llefia.
Barrymoore's
Swimming Club's Cup hopes were still alive but
now out of their hands.
