It's
Back and Sturm Holzwurm both started life in Group
C with defeats and so here was an opportunity
to kickstart their 2014 Berlin Fives challenge.
It's
Back were the most capped team in the tournament
making appearance #5 in eurofootballfives.com
competition. They made their debut in the 2010
Barcelona Fives where they finished second in
their 6-team group before being knocked out in
the Cup Semi-Finals, 2-1, by eventual champions
Magic Monkeys. In the 2011 Prague Masters they
reached the Plate Semi-Finals before going down
2-0 to Ireland's Saipan FC. Their 3 rd appearance
was in the 2012 Budapest Fives where they claimed
2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their group to
qualify for the Cup. They went out in the Quarter-Finals
to 2009 Barca Fives winners Luminy Wolves of France.
Their most recent tour was the 2013 Krakow Trophy
which was their least successful on the pitch
but did include a sensational comeback from 3-0
down to equalise 3-3 in the last minute of the
game.
It
was first blood to It's Back here as James “Buzz”
Burrows gave them a first half lead. Sturm Holzwurm
were not to be beaten though as the “Kayser” equalised
and earned a 1-1 draw. Only time would tell if
this was 1 point gained or 2 points dropped for
the respective teams.
