Elite A.
9
Nana Budds were making their fifth eurofootballfives.com
appearance in Krakow. They got off to a cracking
start winning the inaugural 2009 Valencia Fives.
At the 2011 Algarve Open they finished in a
strong group behind 2 times champions Goldsmith

Cheesecake FC. At the 2014 Budapest Fives they
went through their group 5 games unbeaten without
conceding a goal but finished 2nd behind Csabagyongye
(who won the 2015 Budapest Fives). This meant
they drew CIS Committee of Belaurs who won the
tournament and accounted for 9 Nana Budds 3-0
in the Quarter-Finals. Their last performance
was in the 2015 Berlin Fives where they finished
4 th in their 6 th team group to progress to
the Plate competition. The Quarter-Finals saw
them progress 2-1 over FC Auslander before a
1-1 draw in the Semi-Finals which meant a penalty
shoot-out. They went out 3-2 on penalties to
Rayford Athletic.
Fleet
Street Elite A were the second of two Fleet
Street Elite teams in the draw. We will preview
them more later. This match proved to be a close
encounter in the opening period with both defences
on top and neither team able to breakthrough
– 0-0.
In
the second half the deadlock was broken and
it was a goal that would decide this match.
