Ruta
Uno FC entered Group B, Game 7 as one of three
teams locked on three points. The next few games
in the group would prove crucial in deciding
which of those teams made the Cup and which
of those teams made the Plate. For Ruta Uno
FC, with a game against FC Mahou to come, you
felt this was a must win match.
Their
opponents were The Maulers who came into the
game off the backs of 1-0 and 4-0 defeats. They
had AFC Blue Boys (and their 100% record) to
come so they really needed to produce a result
in this game in their bid to reach the Plate
and avoid the Wooden Spoon. The match was perfectly
set-up, let the games begin…..
Ruta
Uno FC struck first with Dan Bethell scoring
for the second game on the bounce. The Maulers
hit back though with Mark Brooksby scoring his
team's first of the day. At 1-1 it was game
on and that's how it stayed until half-time.
In the second half it was Dan Bethell who restored
the Welsh lead but they were unable to shake
off their opponents and The Maulers hit back
for a second time with Melvin Witt making it
2-2.
The
game finished at 2-2 which saw Ruta Uno FC move
into second place but FC Mahou below them had
a game in hand. The Maulers had a point on the
board and their destiny in their own hands.
For each of these teams, in the context of the
group, only time would tell if this was a point
gained or two points dropped.
