Fireball
met The Spider Mans and Eagle FC in the penultimate
game of Group D. Fireball had drawn three and
lost just once by one goal to CIS Committee
(the best performance of any team against CIS)
so looked to be a team punching below their
weight in the league standings. The best they
could hope for was a third placed finish and
place in the Plate competition – they needed
a win to guarantee this though.
The
Spider Mans and Eagle FC only needed a draw
to finish in second position and they could
even afford to lose this one if Saga Louts failed
to win their last game. They would surely not
want to leave it to chance though and put in
an emphatic performance.
Richard
Eggleston scored a first half double to put
the English team in charge at half-time. The
game was effectively sealed by Ryan Stevens
when he made it 3-0 and The Spider Mans and
Eagle FC finished with an impressive haul of
10 points and were now on a run of four games
unbeaten. Congratulations to them for qualifying
for the Cup.
Fireball
paid the price for too many draws early on and
would need the final result to go their way
to even qualify for the Plate.
