Round 5 began with the top four teams and the Cup qualification places already decided. The only thing to settle was which order they would finish. The Group B win was up for grabs and also the higher the finish in the group the more beneficial the quarter-final draw.

So, what was at stake for these two teams?

PVDC Eindhoven started the round in second and could win Group B with a victory providing Ecuador 100 failed to win their final game. A draw would achieve this as long as Ecuador 100 lost their final game. Defeat could potentially see them slip to fourth subject to other results.

Fiorentina Turner 1 could also win Group B with a victory and defeat for Ecuador 100. A win and any other Ecuador 100 result would see second. A draw or defeat would see either a third or fourth placed finish.

The game itself was a niggly and feisty encounter. It threatened to boil over at the death but the referee drew the game to a close with neither team able to penetrate their opposition's defence. It was a second 0-0 draw of the day.

 
 

Two games to go – first up was 3 Lions FC versus Yac Club Reserves. 3 Lions FC had been competitive in three of their four games but only had 1 point to show for their efforts. They would hope to finish fifth in the table to get the easier side of the Plate Semi-Final draw.

For Yac Club Reserves, the draw between Fiorentina Turner 1 and PVDC Eindhoven meant that a win for them would secure third position. This was important as it would avoid them playing the Group A winners in the Cup Quarter-Finals. Anything less than a win and Yac Club Reseves would finish fourth.

The game remained level for long periods. As we were reaching the climax of Group B the goals were drying up and we were looked like we might have a second consecutive goal-less draw. 3 Lions FC had other ideas though as Chris Baginsky found a winning goal to end their Group B campaign on a high!

 
 
 

Into Game 15 of Group B and there was still Purnell Youth 2 versus Ecuador 100 to decide how the table would look in the annals of history. At the end of Round 4, Ecuador 100 lead Group B by just one point. As they kicked off this game, they were currently in second on goal difference. They therefore just needed a draw to win the group. A defeat would see PVDC Eindhoven take top spot.

Due to 3 Lions FC's win in the previous match, Purnell Youth 2 had slipped to the foot of the table. They needed to win this to move back to fifth position. It would be a tough ask against Ecuador 100 who had won their last 3 games.

The game went with the form book. Ecuador 100 took the lead through Jon and went from strength to strength. Paul, Jon and Bryan extended that lead to 4-0. Purnell Youth 2 would have the final say in the group as Brad Hooper scored his second of the tournament.

Congratulations to Ecuador 100 on winning Group B.
