Eagles Youth and DHL Prague Blue had both seen their sister squads slip to opening game defeats in Group A. One of them would avoid this fate at the start of group C. In the opening half it looked like that team would be Eagles Youth as Jon Payne scored New Milton Eagles first goal of their tour. They would not have their own way though as DHL Prague Blue kept fighting but although Martin Rehacek scored for the Czechs a second Jon Payne goal meant the points went to England in a 2-1 victory.

The second game in group C was Poland versus England as Sobieski entertained Bristol Bridge Supporters. Bristol Bridge Supporters were making their 2 nd eurofootballfives.com appearance after a debut in Barcelona , November 2008. On that occasion they finished 2 nd in a 5-team group before losing 2-1 to Spanish side Uxama in the Cup quarter-finals. In keeping with that Barcelona appearance the team sported Barcelona shirts in this tournament and they lived up to that billing claiming opening game victory with a 1-0 victory.

The next game in group C was arguably the best (and funniest of the tournament). It started in curious fashion as a Sobieski own goal put Eagles Youth 1-0 up. Then, as Sobieski looked to hit back the Eagles Youth keeper pulled off a great save to give the Polish team a corner. As the keeper celebrated, giving a rallying cry of c'mon to his team-mates and supporters he failed to notice that Sobieski had taken a quick corner. As he realized and turned towards goal he did so to see the ball ricochet off him into the back of the net for one own goal each. There could have been further own goals in this game and it was anybody's guess how this game would finish. In the end it was Eagles Youth who made it two consecutive victories in an entertaining match. Shaun Miller and Chris Payne scoring the Eagles goals.
