Ealing
Expendables were up next and were up against
Spider Mans & Great Hawk. Both teams had
a win, a loss and a draw on four points and
trailed Indoorsoccer by 3 points. With games
running out a win here would be massive in the
context of Group A and give them every chance
of making the Cup in Round 5. A defeat would
virtually end the losing team's hopes and a
draw would make it difficult for both.
Spider
Mans & Great Hawk struck the first blow
as Ryan Stevens scored his second goal of the
tournament to give his side the advantage. It
was a lead Stevens and his team would maintain
until the break.
At
the change of ends Ealing Expendables knew they
needed to score but they found a Spider Mans
& Great Hawk team resolute in defence and
a team who held on to their 1-0 advantage and
claim all 3 points.
It
was a result that put Spider Mans & Great
Hawk joint second but third in the table on
goal difference with just one game to go. Ealing
Expendables now had to beat Fidelidade and hope
Indoorsoccer and Spider Mans & Great Hawk
both lost in Round 5 in order to make the Cup.
