At the start of Round 3, we had Always Short versus Fleet Street Elite 1. Both teams were looking for their first points of the today and at least 1 of these teams would break their duck when this fixture concluded.

After a competitive first half there was nothing to separate the two teams and for the first time in Group A we had a goal-less opening period of action. We were to bear witness to goals in the second period and it was Always Short who forged ahead. Lee Kingham scored his second of the tournament and James Douglas then opened his personal account to make it 2-0.

Fleet Street Elite 1 were looking for their first goal of the tournament and they did not have to wait too much longer as Henry Galezowski reduced the deficit to 2-1.

As the sands of time ran out on the second half there was to be no further score and Always Short bagged their first European win.

It was 3rd placed Spider Mans & Great hawk against the league leaders FC Funtime in the final fixture of Round 3. Whoever won this would go top of the Group A table.

FC Funtime currently held top spot but they were to fall behind when Ali Stewart gave Spider Mans & Great Hawk a crucial first-half lead. From then on it was one way traffic after the break.

The goals flowed with Jon Newberry and Ben Jones extending the lead to 3-0. It was to get worse for FC Funtime when they conceded such an obvious penalty that the FC Funtime defender appeared to call the penalty – the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the penalty spot. Liam Angel converted it and wrapped up a sensational 4-0 win.

Spider Mans & Great Hawk were the new leaders in Group A and, along with their Eagles squad in Group C, were enjoying a thoroughly successful morning. For FC Funtime, they should not be too despondent at losing to such a good team and they still had 2 games to left to get their title challenge back on track.
