As we entered the final Round of games much of the Group C qualification places was decided but there was still plenty to play for – particularly in the first game between Hertha Beerlin and Sturm Holzwurm.

Sturm Holzwurm would play in the Trophy regardless of the result as the best they could finish was 5th but at least they could lift themselves of the bottom and take pride in their first eurofootballfives victory. A draw would mean the teams stayed as they were in league positions and guarantee Hasanheide Donkeys place in the Plate competition. A win for Hertha Beerlin would see them rise to 4th and then have to sweat on the Donkeys game to see if they had done enough to make the Plate themselves.

It was a tight opening period and not much between the two teams as we played out a goal-less first half, 0-0. In fact Sturm Holzwurm were yet to score in their first four fixtures but that was to change in the last half of football they would play in Group C as Wilhelm Geron found the net. If you are finding goals hard to come by you want them to count and they got full value for this one as it earned them a 1-0 victory.

Sturm Holzwurm finished 5th, Hertha Beerlin 6th and both would qualify for this afternoon's Trophy Quarter-Final draw.

All that was left to decide in Group C was who would finish 3rd and 4th. Both Hasanheide Donkeys and East Compton Seagulls were assured on Plate qualification but in which order we did not yet know. Whoever could claim 3rd position would play the team finishing 4th in Group D and therefore an easier tie on paper than if they played Group D's 3rd placed team. The Seagulls were in pole position needing just a draw but the Donkeys would need to take all 3 points.

With the game underway it was clear the Seagulls were not settling for a draw and they were going for the win as Rob Graham scored a quickfire double to give them a 2-0 lead by half-time. They played out the second half without too much of a scare and the victory was theirs.
