Lanky
Londoners came into Round 3 in second place
with ambitions of qualifying for the Cup. They
had 4 points from 6 but found themselves 5 points
off the leaders Urbansport who had just secured
their third win on the bounce. Lanky Londoners
needed a win to stay in touch with their Spanish
rivals.
Red
Cow Belgrade came into the game on the back
of their first point but would no doubt be disappointed
having lead 2-0 in that game. This was their
second appearance at our tournaments in Spain.
Their first was at the 2014 Barcelona Fives
and was the scene of their best eurofootballfives.com
to date. 3 wins out of 4 in the group phase
saw them finish 2nd in Group C behind Spain's
Prospe FC. 2 nd in most tournaments is Cup qualification
but in Barcelona it meant the Plate would await
Red Cow Belgrade. They started off the knock-out
phase well with a 3-0 win over BCN Raiders and
then a 0-0 draw with ADP Netherlands in the
Semi-Finals. They were victorious via penalties
and met Naranjitos of Spain in the Final. Sadly
for Red Cow Belgrade they couldn't quite get
over the line and had to settle for Runners-Up
medals after a 2-0 defeat.
It
looked like Red Cow Belgrade might need to settle
for the Plate again as they slipped to a second
defeat of the day. Jack Stratt, one of Lanky
Londoner's Barcelona based players, was the
man to put the Lanky Londoners ahead. Sam “Twinkle
Toes” Twyman secured the game in the second
half for a 2-0 win.
