With the three teams at the top of Group B breaking away from the rest there would be a real dogfight amongst the teams in 4th -6th to try and grab the last remaining knock-out qualification place.

Two teams trying to gain that initiative would face each other in the first game of Round 3 – Groundforce Lisboa versus ACE & The Swagmen. In a pretty even first half the Portuguese would lead at the interval by the odd goal as Tiago Correia's two goals for the Groundforce gave them a 2-1 lead over Joe Humphrey's strike for the Swagmen.

The next goal was always likely to be crucial – could the Swagmen get it to even things up or could Groundforce Lisboa gain some breathing space. Sadly for the English but joyfully for the Portuguese it was the latter – Paulo Pereira made it 3-1. Before the end there was time for Tiago Correia to make it 4-1 and complete a hat-trick for him personally.

It was an extremely valuable 3 points for Groundforce Lisboa.

The final game of Round 3 saw FC Dynamoes face FC Maroon. This was a 1st place versus 5th place fixture with a team looking for 3 wins out of 3 taking on a team yet to take a point. The form book strongly suggested a home win. The form book was spouting nonsense and should be torn up.

Honours were even at half time as a goal from Michael Cox (FC Dynamoes) and Hertej Rattan (FC Maroon) cancelled each other out. Rattan's 4th goal in 3 games gave FC Maroon a 2-1 lead. FC Dynamoes had a real battle on to maintain their 100% record which got even harder when James Alawi's 3rd goal in 3 games made it 3-1. A surprise was on the cards.

Nerves must have started jangling when FC Dynamoes came back to 3-2 (Jon Stead's 8 th of the campaign) but FC Maroon had enough in the tank to see this one out and claim a sensational victory.
