Intermore
FC and Budapest Celtic Lions met on Pitch B
with the Hungarian side only really needing
a draw to secure their place in the Cup if It's
Back and The Spice Boys drew. If there was a
positive result in that game, the Lions would
need victory to ensure Cup qualification. For
their part, Intermore FC could only realistically
make the Plate where they effectively needed
a draw. They could only be denied as the best
placed 6th team if they lost and ACE & The
Swagmen (Group C) won or if they drew and ACE
& The Swagmen overturned a big swing in
goal difference.
For
both teams their fate was in their own hands
– all they needed to do was grab it. The man
that stepped up to the plate on this occasion
was Gabor Harsonyi who'd had a fine morning
thus far and capped it off with a goal in each
half taking his tally to the day to 4 goals.
Intermore
FC were unable to respond and fell to a 2-0
defeat but will feel, as we do, their play deserved
more than the 2 points they'd earned this morning.
As it turned out they had done enough to make
the Plate competition so still had work to do
this afternoon.
Budapest
Celtic Lions had got the result they needed
with the win and qualified for the Cup. So far
Budapest Celtic teams had qualified for the
Cup in 7 out of 7 attempts with the Pumas to
come in Group C looking to make it 8 out of
8.
