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.
