The first game of Round 2 saw WEEDS Colts take on C'an Pastilla Vets.

WEEDS Colts were the second team in the travelling WEEDS group to get underway. The “Colts” would have seen their “Youth” team already get underway in Group A with a couple of defeats to their name. The Colts would naturally hope to get off to a brighter start.

WEEDS Colts had three points on the board courtesy of their walkover win and so had some extra time before kicking off their campaign in earnest. They were up against a C'an Pastilla Vets team who had narrowly lost their opener, 2-1.

With the game underway the two teams played out a fairly even first half. Neither attack could find a way through their opposition's defence and both goalkeeper's had their clean sheets intact. The deadlock was to be broken after the turnaround as Jimmy Mills opened the scoring for the English side. The points were secure when Ian ‘Sherlock' Holmes provided the second.

WEEDS Colts sat on top of Group B, C'an Pastilla Vets were helping to prop up the foot of the table.

 
 

The Warriors were due to be on next against Ferriolrence. As we now knew, Ferriolrence had failed to show up for the tournament so The Warriors collected a 3-0 win.

 
 
 

To complete Round 2 we had Crabtree Amblers versus Southgate County Vets. This was a repeat of a Group A game in the 2016 Lisbon Veterans Tournament. 12 months ago in Portugal these two teams played out a 0-0 draw to complete the group phase.

If goals were conspicuous by their absence in Lisbon last year they were on full show here in Mallorca. We had three goals to enjoy in the first half with Southgate County Vets leading by the odd goal at the break, 2-1. Southgate County Vets twin strikeforce of Ken Middleton and Declan O'Leary both found the net in Round 1 and they both found the net in Round 2. Ade Chester was also in the goals for the second game running as his strike meant Crabtree Amblers were very much in this game.

Both teams had won their first games so another win here would put them in a share of the lead at the summit of Group B. No further goals in the second half meant it was Southgate County Vets who enjoyed that lofty position. Crabtree Amblers currently occupied the mid-table positions.
