Bede
FC (Eng) were the second most capped team in
the draw making their 8 th appearance in our
events. They made their debut in the 2011 Barcelona
Fives and picked up a first European victory
with a 2-1 victory over eventual Plate Winners,
Bristol Bridge. Other results did not quite
go their way and did not reward their performances
as they were unlucky to finish 5th on goal difference
– going through to the Wooden Spoon Semi-Finals
but going down to Stamford AC. They played in
the 2012 Algarve Open finishing 4th in their
group before a narrow 2-1 exit in the Plate
Quarter-Finals to Goals Aloud of Wales. A return
to the Algarve Open in 2013 saw them struggle
in the group phase finishing 6th. In the Wooden
Spoon Final they lost on Golden Goal to Norton
Old Boys. Next stop was the 2014 Amsterdam Fives
where they finished 5 th in their 6 team group
before Vodafone Netherlands were responsible
for their exit in the Plate Quarter-Finals.
Fast forward to the 2015 Bratislava Fives and
they lost narrowly to the 2015 Mallorca Tournament
winners, Saipan FC. They followed this up with
a 3-1 win over Slovakia's Donuts. A 2-1 loss
to Tekkerslovakia followed and they ultimately
finished 4 th in their group. An epic Quarter-Final
and 10-goal thriller wowed the crowds but sadly
they missed out on the next round, 6-4, to the
2013 Budapest Fives champions – Team Bear.
At
the 2016 Mallorca Tournament, Bede FC had their
most successful group phase to date in terms
of points with a 60% win ratio as they finished
4th of 6 teams. They qualified for the Plate
and in the Quarter-Finals met 2 times eurofootballfives.com
Plate winners St Paul's College Old Boys. Bede
FC sadly succumbed at this stage.
Most
recently Bede FC plied their trade at the 2017
Vilnius Tournament. It was another fourth place
finish in the group phase with 1 win, 1 draw
and 2 defeats to their name. It was another
Quarter-Final exit, 3-0, at the hands of Shahs
of Sunset.
They
had a tough match here against the Lithuanian
team, Lilchicago. Lilchicago were 2 wins from
2 and soon to make it 3 wins from 3. Aurimas
Marcinkevicius, Danas Kulisauskas and Marcinkevicius
again saw them race to a 3-0 lead. Goal difference
could well prove useful at the top so they were
aided by Liudas Masiliunas and Danas Kulisauskas
making it 5-0. 100% record for Lilchicago.
