Twelve teams came to do battle at the 2013 Lisbon Tournament in the open age category, two remained – CSB Stars and HS Decor. The only thing we knew at this stage was the fact it would be a Portuguese winner and a Portuguese clean sweep of all titles as the Plate and Veterans titles' had already been claimed.

Would it be HS Décor or CSB Stars lifting the winners' trophy aloft? Both teams had played in Group B earlier in the day and on that occasion HS Décor won 2-1 having been a goal behind. We were hoping for an equally gripping and close encounter for the Cup Final.

The first half belonged to HS Decor as they struck first in this one and led 2-0 at the break. They were firmly in control and well on course for their 7 th consecutive win that would make them worthy winners of the title. Could CSB Stars come back and create an upset? In short – no. HS Décor played out the remainder of the second half with little alarm and looked more likely to extend their lead as they soaked up the pressure and tried to hit their opponents on the break. Final score, 2-0

The winners of the 2013 Lisbon Tournament – HS Decor.

Our congratulations also go to Groundforce Lisboa in the Plate competition, Sao Marcos in the Veterans competition and Jon Stead as tournament top goalscorer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our teams who participated in what was a great day's competition. It was a pleasure to host you all and we hope to see you all again at a tournament very soon.
