In
Game 11 of Group A we had Purnell Youth 2 versus
Urbansport.
Urbansport
(Spa) made 2 appearances in 2017 at our Mallorca
Fives and our Mallorca Tournament. In the space
of a month they were successful at both. In May,
they won the Cup Final (playing as Valecuatro).
In June, they won the Plate Final (playing as
Inter Balear).
In
the group phase in the May tournament they finished
2 nd of 6 teams on 9 points to qualify for the
Cup. They produced a sensational win in the Quarter-Finals
knocking out the defending champions Mariano FC
on penalties. They went from strength to strength
defeating FC Broxelona A (Eng) 5-1 in the Semi
Finals and Forn de N'aina (Arg) 3-0 in the Final.
In
June, they could only produce 7 points from their
5 group games that saw their title defence end
earlier than expected. They went through the gears
in the knock-out phase as they recorded 2-0, 6-2
and 6-4 wins. Expect some goals in these games!
They
had already played at the 2018 Mallorca Fives
in May with two teams as Inter Balear and Urbansport.
Urbansport struggled with just 1 point from their
5 games as they were eliminated. Inter Balear
won 4 of their 5 group games to win their group
but went out in the Semis.
Today
they had concentrated their skills into 1 team.
4 points from 6 before defeat in the last game.
Purnell Youth 1 were to pile on the pressure on
the Spanish. The English team ran riot here.
Charlie
Gwyther opened the scoring before a Tom Cook double
put them in control at 3-0. It got even better
when Ross Horman made it 4-0. Urbansport responded
through Domingo before Jay Thomas re-asserted
the lead to 5-1. Diego made it 5-2 but Purnell
Youth would have the final say – a Tom Cook hat-trick
goal for 6-2.
