With two draws in their opening two games last year's Runners-Up, Complex, had yet to reach the same heights as 2008. Before the tournament had kicked off, Ian Gibbins of eurofootballfives.com had tipped Complex to be potential winners of this competition and they finally put in a performance to justify that prediction. Unfortunately for Atlantic Star they were on the receiving end of this return to form and were hit for six as the Polish team ran out comfortable 6-2 winners. Stanislaw Derszniak scored the first hat-trick of the group, Jan Tota grabbed two more and Pawel Sobczyck scored his first of the tournament. John Sweeton and Mark Brereton scored the consolsation goals for Atlantic Star. The win saw Complex jump up into 2nd in the table and into the Cup qualification places for the first time.

Brighton & Hove Rockets maintained top spot but were made to work hard for their third successive win against Azmot. Mateusz Kuvzolyn scored a hat-trick for the Polish team and it is not often hat-trick scorers end up on the losing side but poor old Mateusz did. The reason he did was down to Stuart Gould who ended up scoring all 4 of Brighton & Hove Rockets goals. The final score was Stuart Gould 4-3 Mateusz Kuvzolyn – we are sure the goalscorers will declare it a team effort though so we will change that to Brighton & Hove Rockets 4-3 Azmot.

The final game of the round saw the team's occupying 5th and 6th come up against each other. If either team had aspirations of Cup qualification then a win now would be vital to kickstart their campaign. The crucial opening goal came from James Burton of The Love Generation – a lead they would keep until half-time. In the second half Daniel Ellis of Love Generation and Tomas Jerabek of DHL Prague Blue moved the score onto 2-1. The English held on to secure the victory and jump up into 3rd place – right in the mix for the Cup. The defeat meant that the Czech's propped up Group A with two games left to decide their fate.
