The first Plate Semi-Final saw DHL Prague Red chasing their third Plate Final. Following finals in the 2008 Prague Masters and 2008 Barca Fives they suffered defeats at this stage in both the 2009 Prague Masters and Prague Trophy. Would it prove 3 rd time lucky to make that hat-trick of Plate Finals? Well, the first half against Sobieski was looking good as two goals in the opening half put them in pole position. Sobieski had no answer and could not break the Czech defence to get back into the game. The Czech's finished off a professional job and were in Plate Final number 3 for them.

The big question now was who would their opponents be? Eagles Old Boys or JNJ Global Services. Eagles Old Boys were the last remaining English team and were hoping to spoil the prospect of an all-Czech final in Krakow . JNJ Global Services were clearly pleased at beating one of their domestic rivals in the quarters and would love to beat the other DHL team in the final. There was one hurdle to jump first and Eagles Old Boys were finding their feet in this tournament. They were also finding the way to goal and one man in particular was finding the back of the net. Shahed Miah, as he did in the quarter-final, put his side 1-0 up and on that occasion the lead was wiped out before half-time. Not this time though and when the teams turned round Eagles Old Boys had maintained their lead. The lead was to double in the second half and it was Miah again for his third of the day all but sealing his team's place in the final. There was to be no addition to the scoring and Eagles Old Boys would meet DHL Prague Red in the final.

Our commiserations to JNJ Global Services and Sobieski.
