eurofootballfives.com
were honoured to be chosen to organise and host
the Johnson & Johnson Euro Soccer Tournament
for the fifth consecutive year. After events
in Prague (x2), Budapest and Bratislava the
event rolled on to Krakow for 2016. 14 teams
from the Czech Republic, England, Poland, Portugal,
Russia and the UAE converged to compete in this
popular event.
We
had 54 games of football to enjoy and when the
referee blew the final whistle in the Cup Final
it was JNJ Medical Russia who emerged victorious.
They added the 2016 title to their triumph in
Budapest in 2013. The statistics would bear
out the fact they were worthy winners - top
scoring team and the least goals conceded. They
were made to work hard for it in the Cup Final
against Synthes UK 1 who finished runners-up
for the second time after also coming close
to victory at the Bratislava 2014 event.
In
the Plate competition it was GBS Reds who claimed
their first Plate win at the JNJ Euro Soccer
Tournament (to add to Plate wins at eurofootballfives.com
2010 Prague Trophy and 2012 Berlin Fives). GBS
Reds (Cze) defeated Janssen Portugal 4-2 in
the Plate Final. Janssen Portugal were a great
addition to the tournament and celebrated in
the presentation as if they had won the World
Cup and/or Champions League.
The
individual honours went to Jacek Banas of JNJ
Poland who won the top goalscorer award with
13 goals for the tournament - a very impressive
total from his 7 games.
Well
done to everyone for an amazing day of competition
and thank you to all teams who participated
and played the tournament in such a great spirit
and atmosphere. We hope to see you all again
soon.
