Very
Old Salesians A delivered a statement performance
in Group B with a commanding 4–0 victory over
Inter Campos Vets in a pivotal mid-table clash
that had significant implications for qualification
to the Cup competition. Both sides entered the
match level on one win apiece, knowing that victory
would place them in a strong position to advance,
but it was the English side who seized control
early and never relinquished it.
Vin
Di Matteo gave Very Old Salesians A the perfect
start by opening the scoring, before Mark Alexander
quickly added a second to put them firmly in control
at 2–0 by halftime. Inter Campos Vets, who had
shown strong character in their opening match,
struggled to find any rhythm against an organised
and clinical Salesians outfit, who managed the
first half with authority and composure. Any hopes
of a second-half response from Inter Campos Vets
were effectively extinguished when Steve Gale
scored his third goal of the tournament to extend
the lead to 3–0, further underlining Salesians'
dominance in the contest. The Spanish side were
unable to mount any sustained pressure, as their
opponents continued to control proceedings in
all areas of the pitch.
The
result was emphatically sealed when Tom Patterson
added a fourth goal to complete a superb 4–0 win,
a result that propelled Very Old Salesians A into
second place in the group standings. It was a
complete and disciplined performance at a crucial
stage of the competition, while Inter Campos Vets
were left to regroup ahead of their final group
fixture with their qualification hopes still delicately
poised.

Los
Domingueros maintained their position at the top
of Group B after a hard-fought 0–0 draw with Urbansport
Coll in another tightly contested encounter between
two of the group's in-form sides. With both teams
entering the match in strong positions the stakes
were high, but neither side was able to break
the other down in a game defined by discipline
and defensive organisation.
The
first half was evenly balanced, with both teams
showing intent in possession but struggling to
create clear-cut chances against well-drilled
backlines. Urbansport Coll, buoyed by their recent
2–0 win, looked to build on their momentum, while
Los Domingueros aimed to extend their unbeaten
run and secure a crucial advantage at the top
of the standings. However, the half ended goalless,
reflecting the fine margins between the two sides.
The
pattern continued after the interval, with both
defences and goalkeepers standing firm under increasing
pressure. Despite improved attacking intent and
a more open second half, neither team could find
a decisive breakthrough, as final balls and finishing
proved just slightly off target at key moments.
At
full time, the deadlock remained unbroken, resulting
in a point apiece that suited Los Domingueros
more than their opponents. The draw allowed them
to open up a narrow one-point lead at the top
of Group B, while Urbansport Coll remained firmly
in the mix in third place but with work still
to do heading into their final group fixture.

Very
Old Salesians A booked their place in the Cup
competition in emphatic style with an 8–2 victory
over No Denying the Skids in an all-English
Group B encounter that was far more competitive
than the scoreline suggests at the halfway stage.
With Salesians knowing a win would secure qualification—and
potentially even the group title depending on
other results—the pressure was firmly on, while
the Skids were still chasing points to keep
their Plate hopes alive.
The
first half delivered a far tighter contest,
with both sides trading goals in an entertaining
and evenly matched opening spell. Tom Patterson
and Mark Alexander were on target for Very Old
Salesians A whilst No Denying the Skids scored
through Lee Tate and Chris Goreham to ensure
the teams went into halftime locked at 2–2,
leaving everything still to play for.
The
second half, however, belonged entirely to Very
Old Salesians A, who produced a devastating
attacking display to completely overwhelm their
opponents. Mark Alexander took control of the
match with two quick goals to complete his hat-trick
and shift momentum decisively in his side's
favour, before Steve Gale and Vin Di Matteo
added further strikes to extend the lead to
6–2.
The
onslaught continued as Alexander added a fourth
goal to his personal tally, underlining a sensational
individual performance, before Vin Di Matteo
struck again to complete the 8–2 rout. The result
secured Very Old Salesians A's qualification
for the elite Cup in dominant fashion, while
also showcasing their attacking firepower at
a crucial moment in the group stage, whereas
No Denying the Skids were left to regroup after
a difficult second-half collapse.

Inter
Campos Vets and Urbansport Coll met in the penultimate
Group B fixture with both sides still having everything
to play for despite differing qualification scenarios
as the group stage neared its conclusion. Inter
Campos Vets were already out of contention for
the Cup but looked to build momentum for the Plate
competition, while Urbansport Coll still harboured
slim hopes of reaching the top two, provided results
elsewhere went their way.
The
first half was a cautious and tightly contested
affair, with neither side willing to overcommit
early on given the importance of the result for
their respective ambitions. Inter Campos Vets
looked organised and disciplined, while Urbansport
Coll showed more attacking intent, but neither
team could find a breakthrough, and the match
remained goalless at the interval.
The
pattern continued after the break, with chances
still at a premium as both defences held firm.
However, Urbansport Coll gradually began to assert
more pressure in attacking areas, sensing that
a single goal could still prove decisive in their
quest for Cup qualification. That decisive moment
arrived through Luis Vives Seguí, whose
goal proved enough to secure a 1–0 victory for
Urbansport Coll. The result moved them onto seven
points and kept their qualification hopes alive,
although they would still require a favourable
outcome in Los Domingueros' final group match.
Inter Campos Vets, meanwhile, were left to reflect
on another narrow defeat as they turned their
attention to the Plate competition.

Los
Domingueros sealed Group B honours in style with
a commanding 5–0 victory over No Denying the Skids,
confirming top spot in the group with an unbeaten
record and booking their place in the Cup competition.
Knowing that even a draw would guarantee qualification
but a win could secure the group title, Los Domingueros
approached the match with intent, while the Skids
faced a must-win scenario to avoid elimination
from the tournament.
The
Spanish side took control in the first half and
quickly established a decisive advantage. Luis
Jaramillo opened the scoring before Bryant Melkov
added a second to give Los Domingueros a comfortable
2–0 lead at the break. Their attacking play was
sharp and efficient, while defensively they limited
No Denying the Skids to few meaningful opportunities.
Any
hopes of a comeback were extinguished early in
the second half when Yostin extended the lead
to 3–0, further underlining Los Domingueros' authority
in the match. The Skids struggled to respond under
sustained pressure, as the group leaders continued
to dominate possession and create chances. The
victory was emphatically completed as Tiago Maidana
added a fourth before Bryant Melkov struck again
to complete a 5–0 win. The result ensured Los
Domingueros finished top of Group B with 10 points
from 12 and unbeaten throughout the group stage.
No Denying the Skids' tournament came to a difficult
end after failing to secure the result they needed.
However, we would like to thank them and sister
squad Purple Nurple for joining us in Mallorca.
The group were a great bunch of lads and a welcome
addition to the tournament.
