So the Cup Group would see the tournament's elite four teams assemble to do battle in a four team group. Each team had three games to prove they would be the worthy winners of the 2011 Krakow Trophy title. The team in second place would pick up the Runners-Up medals….so, where's your money?

 

On Pitch A it was two unbeaten teams as Group B winners Apsley House took on Bozeat All Stars. It was the latter who struck first after the lunch break through Dan Bayes third goal of the tournament. Apsley House were behind for the first time in the day but they were not behind for long as Alex Kurzweil equalized to make it 1-1 at half-time.

 

In the second-half we were to witness two wondrous strikes. They were two of the best you're ever likely to see in eurofootballfives competiton. First up it was Richard Farman who scored a first-time volley direct from the corner to bury it in the Apsley House net. Bozeat All Stars were ahead again. Once again though, Apsley House bounced back and the glory boy this time was Darren Cocking. Out on the left touchline and some distance from goal there appeared to be nothing on but out of the blue…bang…he struck across the keeper and into the far corner for 2-2. Amazing stuff and we suppose it was only fitting that the game ended level and both teams picked up a well deserved point.

 
 
 

In the other game it was CEPL of Holland playing host to the Happy Union. These two teams were also unbeaten. The Happy Union qualified for the Cup courtesy of a last game group win over the Irish Mbassy in similar fashion to CEPL over Atlantic Star. Both teams had momentum but it appeared to be the momentum of The Happy Union holding sway as Ashley Harry gave them a 1-0 lead in the first-half.

 

It was a lead they were to hold into the second period but not into full-time as Matthew Morgan equalized for the Dutch and we had another draw, 1-1 this time.

 

Amazingly, we still had four unbeaten teams in the tournament which is unheard of at this stage. Surely something had to give soon.
