McArthur's
Big Macs had the chance to join Wilmslow Whoppers
at the summit of Group B when they entertained
Inter Balear. The English team had a maximum 6
points out of 6 whereas the Spanish team had yet
to put a point on the board. On paper, this looked
an easy game to predict the winner based on the
results we'd seen this morning.
However,
Inter Balear were not champions at the Mallorca
Fives three weeks ago for nothing. They were a
good side and maybe a sleeping giant or was it
a case of Leicester City struggling after winning
the ultimate prize last time out? Either way,
Inter Balear should not be underestimated despite
their league position.
What
we saw here was a cracker of a game on Pitch D.
McArthur's Big Macs lead 2-1 at the break thanks
to a double from Alex McArthur and it looked like
the game could go with the form book. A goal from
Pascal Moreno Cortes meant that Inter Balear were
still in it.
After
the break Inter Balear staged a comeback and levelled
the game up at 3-3. Antonio Lobo Blanco and Juan
Garcia Noguera were both on target for the Spanish
team. Michael Baker's 2 nd of the tournament meant
the points were shared.
In
the context of the group table you have to say
it was a better point for McArthur's Big Macs.
At least Inter Balear had stopped the rot from
their perspective.
