As we began the semi-finals we only knew one thing – that the final would be Poland versus England . The first semi-final was to be an all England affair between Pimp My Side FC and Eagles Youth in the top half of the draw. The bottom half would see an all Polish match-up in Wola v Hutnik.

When Pimp My Side FC entertained Eagles Youth it was a North versus South clash that saw the Geordie boys take on the Southerners of New Milton Eagles. Northern might prevailed as Pimp My Side FC took an early lead which they showed no signs of letting slip. Try as they might Eagles Youth could not find the goal to get back into the game and in the end Pimp My Side scored a second to kill the game and a third to rub salt in the wounds of their opposition. Their place in the final was assured. Eagles Youth participation on the pitch was over but they had the consolation of cheering on their Old Boys in the Plate Final to look forward to.

The all Polish semi-final was a tough game with both sides proving physical and determined. It was a blood and thunder match short of goal scoring opportunities and followed a similar pattern to Wola's previous game where they seemed to be the more defensive team as Hutnik looked the more likely winners. Wola would hope to get a goal on the break but it never came and unlike their game versus PKG Real Estate they could not keep a clean sheet to take the game to penalties. That was thanks to the goalscoring touch of Azmatys Jacek who pounced to score the only goal of the game in the second half.

Hutnik were in their first eurofootballfives.com final.
