We began Round 5 with so many possibilities on which teams would qualify for the Cup or the Plate– certainly too many to detail here. We began the home straight with Yac Club versus Purnell Youth 1.

Yac Club were currently in sixth position but they were only 1 point away from 4th position and the final Cup qualification spot. Purnell Youth 1 were currently occupying that position.

For Yac Club a win would secure Cup qualification as they would move up to third position and although two of the teams behind them would have a game in hand – those teams would play each other. A draw or defeat would see them in the Plate.

For Purnell Youth a win would also secure Cup qualification. A draw would be ok if Urbansport failed to win. A defeat could be ok as long as Urbansport also lost and goal difference remained in Purnell Youth's favour.

Yac Club had been much improved in last two games and that was to continue with goals from Max Moggridge and Nick Pocock on target. Purnell Youth came into the game on the back of a 6-2 win over Urbansport but they could not prevent a 2-0 Yac Club victory here.

Next up was Bar Maruru versus Burritos. Bar Maruru currently had a 3 point lead at the top of the table so just needed to avoid defeat to guarantee the Group A victory. Burritos were currently in second and could go level on points with their opponents if they could take the win. However, Bar Maruru's goal difference of +11 compared to Burritos' +2 meant it would take a massive win for Burritos to win the group.

Yac Club's win in the previous game meant Burritos were assured of third place as a minimum but they would dearly love a second placed finish to give them a theoretically easier route to the Cup Final in the knock-out phase.

Bar Maruru were the top scoring team in the group with 13 goals and their hunger for goals showed no respite here. The goals continued to flow with Manuel Galvan Sastre scoring his fifth of the day to put his team 1-0 up. Fran Medina Garcia was on target again to make it 2-0. Manuel Galvan Sastre only scored 1 at the 2018 Mallorca Fives in May but he was stepping it up here in September. He moved to 6 for the day as he wrapped up a 3-0 win.

The result confirmed Bar Maruru as Group A winners – congratulations to them. Burritos would join them in the Cup.

To conclude Group A then was the not-so-small matter of the fixture between Fiorentina Turner 2 and Urbansport. With all the other games completed these two teams knew exactly what was required of them.

Fiorentina Turner 2 had drawn-won-lost-drawn. That one defeat was to the Group A winners and they could go up to second position with a victory here. A draw would see them finish in third place on 6 points. Defeat would see them slip to fifth position and drop into the Plate.

Urbansport's form had been drifting. They took 4 points from the first 6 on offer before suffering defeats to the two bottom teams (at the time they played them). Their most recent defeat was 6-2. However, a win here would see them climb above their opponents and qualify for the Cup. A draw or defeat would see them go through to the Plate.

Urbansport had to win and they forged ahead through Domingo. Matt Hanson levelled it up at 1-1. Pascugi put Urbansport 2-1 up but Matt Hanson was on hand to level it up again at 2-2. If the game ended this way it would be Fiorentina Turner 2 in the Cup and Urbansport in the Plate.

The fifth and decisive goal in the match turned that on its head though. Abrahan's goal meant they would go ahead for a third time. They would stay ahead this time. It would be they who would qualify for the Cup and Fiorentina Turner 2 drop down into the Plate. Very fine margins.
