Open
Age
In
the Open Age section all eyes were on Ecuador
100% who were aiming to become the first team
to win four consecutive titles at the same event.
They were pushed close by Australia's Average
Joes in the Quarter-Finals but went out on penalties.
They were taken to penalties again by W London
in the Semis and this time couldn't repeat the
feat. This was the first time they had been
eliminated at the Mallorca Fives since September
2018! An amazing result for W London. In the
Cup Final though, Team Rock, who had won 7 out
of 7, completed the perfect campaign with a
2-0 victory for Spain.
In
the Plate section it was Portugal versus England
in the Final as RAF took the trophy and winners
medals. They defeated The Yol who had competed
all day with just 5 players - a great feat to
get so close after 8 gruelling games.
Veterans
In
the Veterans section, we had teams from China,
Ecuador, England,, Poland and Spain (mainland
and Mallorca) all assembled to battle it out
for the title of 2024 Mallorca Fives Veterans
champions.
Although
Ecuador 100% had lost their title, their compatriots
in the Veterans - Aston Birra - went all the
way to success to ensure glory for Ecuador.
The South Americans did not find it easy though
needing to beat Polish opposition in both the
Semi-Finals and Final on penalties. Commiserations
to our runners-up Lucanos Locos.
In
the Plate tournament there was glory for VTF
Elite from Valencia who defeated China's Beijing
Rockets in the Plate Final.
A
big thank you to all 28 teams for what was a
superb weekend. See you all soon.
