Group B began with one of the four Spanish debutants taking to the field in the form of C'an Pastilla Vets taking on Crabtree Amblers.

Crabtree Amblers debuted at the 2016 Lisbon Veterans Tournament and it was quite a successful one. In the group phase they finished joint third (fourth on goal difference) as a last match 0-0 draw prevented them taking third place outright. They qualified for the Plate and Semi-Final success ensued as they beat Mavericks 1-0. They were to collect Runners-Up medals in the presentation as they were defeated 2-0 by Pioes in the Plate Final.

It was Crabtree Amblers who hit the front here in Mallorca with Ade Chester scoring their first of the tournament. The goal afforded them a lead at the break.

In the second half there was a goal each for Phil Tredinnick (Crabtree Amblers) and CC Barr (C'an Pastilla Vets) as the English team got off to a winning start.

Match 2 was to be Ferriolrence taking on WEEDS Colts. Like in the game above it was supposed to be Spain versus England. Ferriolrence were a no-show though which was a letdown for everyone. WEEDS Colts picked up a 3-0 walkover although I am sure they would have much preferred to collect the points on the pitch.

The final teams in Group B to start their challenge were The Warriors versus Southgate County Vets.

The Warriors made their debut in the summer of 2015 at the Algarve Veterans Tournament. They started off well in Group B with two 1-0 wins in their first 3 games and ultimately finished 4th in the table. They then defeated Ashtead Vets 1-0 in the Plate Semi-Finals before just missing out on the winner's trophy as Norton Old Boys emerged victorious 1-0.

At the 2016 Lisbon Veterans Tournament they recovered from a 2-0 opening defeat to record 3 wins and a draw to finish joint top of Group B (but second on goal difference). They qualified for the Cup competition but went out in the Semi-Finals to the eventual champions Sago.

The Warriors found themselves a goal down in the Mallorca opener though thanks to a goal from Ken Middleton. In the second period the lead was extended by Declan O'Leary to make it 2-0. The Warriors pulled it back to 2-1 through George Morson which is how it finished.
