Round 7 would kick-off with the second Cup qualification the main talking point. RAF Boulmer B had already secured the Group A title so many congratulations to them. Their opponents for their final fixture would be Rain Dragons who had their fate in their own hands to some extent.

A win for Rain Dragons would mean they would qualify for the Cup in second place.

A draw for Rain Dragons would prevent Dragon Balls reaching the Cup. Rain Dragons would then qualify for the Cup if Alea Iacta Est failed to win their final game.

A defeat for Rain Dragons would mean Plate qualification. Dragon Balls would qualify for the Cup if Alea Iacta lost. Alea Iacta Est would qualify for the Cup with a draw/win.

Having come into the game on the back of a 5-0 defeat Rain Dragons must have feared the worst when they went 1-0 down. Ashley Lally's third goal of the tournament putting RAF Boulmer B ahead. The RAF team could still finish Group A with a 100% record and would no doubt want to keep this momentum going.

Rain Dragons hit back though. They turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead thanks to a brace from Ben Care taking him to 7 for the tournament. A place in the Cup was theirs but then it was snatched away as Ashley Lally equalized for 2-2 which is how we finished.

Rain Dragons fate was now in the hands of Alea Iacta Est…..

 
 
 

TS Marpoli 0-3 Dragon Balls was now a purely academic exercise. We added the 3 points to the table but, with Rain Dragons draw in the match above, Dragon Balls knew their knock-out football would be in the Plate competition.

 
 
 

The final fixture of Group A was TaHU versus Alea Iacta Est. There was a lot at stake for Alea Iacta Est – a defeat or draw would see them finish in third place and progress to the Plate competition. A win would see them jump above Rain Dragons into second place and qualify for the Cup.

TaHU knew that they would finish in fifth position regardless of this result but they still had pride and honour to play for. You never know, they could do Rain Dragons a massive favour!

Alea Iacta's form had been up and down today. They had won 3 and lost 2. When they had won they had generally won big – 3-0, 8-0 and 5-0. Their defeats had both bean by the odd goal 0-1 and 2-3. Which performance would we get here?

It looked like a big win as the Polish team established a 2-0 lead. Michal Sklodowski a nd Piotr Malenczak gave their team the advantage. TaHU had drawn their last two games and a third successive draw was a possibility when Samuli Koskinen pulled it back to 2-1.

Alea Iacta Est kicked on again though as they increased the lead to 3-1 (Pedro Silveira), 4-1 (Rafal Krukowski) and finally 5-1 (Artur Aksamit). It was mission accomplished for Alea Iacta Est as they joined RAF Boulmer B in the Cup.

Rain Dragons, Dragon Balls, TaHu and Pink Lloyd A would all slot into the Plate Quarter-Final draw in that order.
