Our
thirteenth ever Trophy Final now awaited us and
we had been treated to some superb Finals before.
It was Audley Witney versus Hotpockets.
Many
of them had been very close with 6 of the previous
12 going to penalties In Valencia 2012, Sporting
Abeergut held off a late rally from FC Dad to
win it 3-2. At the 2014 Budapest Fives, Contejus
Hurricanes (with a man sent off) held on to a
close 2-1 win over Cava Sundays.
They
had all been close affairs until 2014 when we
saw Ziar Crew beat Fireball 5-1 in Bratislava
and Elcombe Old Boys beat SV Zoo 5-0 in Barcelona.
These remain the highest scoring Trophy Finals.
We have had Trophy winners from Belgium, England,
Ireland, Latvia, Oman, Slovakia and Spain.
If
we were looking for a form guide as a clue to
how this final might go then here it is:
