Game
5 of Group B was to be Lads of Lisboa versus
Spider Mans Twos.
Lads
of Lisboa were making their 6th eurofootballfives.com
appearance. See the report from Round 1 above
for their 2013 Lisbon debut. Their 2nd appearance
was at the 2015 Budapest Fives which saw a name
change to Fleet Street Elite. They finished
4th in their group to progress to the Plate
competition. They drew 2-2 in the Quarter-Finals
with Peckham Legends and went on to win the
penalty shoot-out. A narrow 1-0 defeat to Spain's
Naranjitos saw them exit at the Semi-Final stage.
Next
up was the 2016 Krakow Trophy with two squads
for the first time. The Krakow tournament was
of a particularly high standard in 2016 and
as a result the two teams found it tough going
– Fleet Street Elite 1 finished 6 th in Group
A, Fleet Street Elite A finished 5 th in Group
C. Both teams avoided the Wooden Spoon and would
play in the Plate knock-out competition where
they would exit at the Quarter-Final stage.
The
2017 Mallorca Fives saw them compete with 2
squads again and it was equally tough going.
The two teams finished 6 th in their groups
and would go on to compete against each other
in the Wooden Spoon play-off. Fleet Street Elite
1 defeated Fleet Street A 8-2.
2018
saw them visit Riga with a depleted squad. They
struggled for results in a tough group which
saw them finish in 5th position. The Wooden
Spoon Semi-Final saw them exit 3-1 to Stag Park
Rangers.
Today
they started with a 1-0 defeat and it was to
be another narrow loss in Round 2. A Steve Kettle
header at the far post was enough to take all
3 points for Spider Mans Twos.
