Valeo
had a game in hand on the other teams in Group
A and this would be against Skidmarks. Win it
or draw and they would go top. Anything else and
they would slip to third place. They were so far
unbeaten so would enter the game with confidence.
Skidmarks
for their part had not quite found the fluidity
they discovered in Valencia but were still dangerous
with undoubted quality. This was their last chance
to put points on the board in Group A. A win would
virtually assure them safe passage to the Cup.
A draw would leave them sweating and a defeat
would probably mean the Plate so there was much
at stake in this one.
Skidmarks
got off to the start they needed when Neil Taylor
gave them a 1-0 half-time lead. Let's not forget
that Skidmarks were still unbeaten in eurofootballfives.com
football (8 wins, 2 draws) and they were on their
way to win number 9.
Although
Valeo pulled one back in the second half it was
to be merely a consolation as Ashley Britten's
3rd of the day and a strike from Gary Hatfield
completed a 3-1 victory and we would surely see
Skidmarks in the Cup competition.
