Meglepetes
met Bozeat FC met in the penultimate game of
Group D. The last thing these teams needed was
a draw as it would condemn them to 3rd and 4th
positions respectively and both teams proceeding
to the Plate competition. If there was to be
a winner then the victor would move on to 10
points and hope there was a decisive result
in the final game between Skidmarks and Budapest
Celtic Lions. They would then be level with
the loser of that game and goal difference would
come in to play. The two teams therefore needed
to win and win big or hope one of the above
teams would lose big. There were so many permutations
that the teams just had to go out and play and
hope their efforts were good enough.
The
two teams had met before in Group B just 12
months ago and they drew on that occasion, 2-2.
In today's game it was Meglepetes who struck
first through Josef Szekely. They doubled their
advantage after half-time when Szekely scored
again. Will Arnold pulled one back to make it
2-1 and was another 2-2 on the cards? Not today,
Meglepetes had enough in the tank to see out
the victory.
The
result ensured Bozeat FC would play in the Plate.
Meglepetes now had to watch the last game eagerly
for their fate.
