Game 7 of Group B was an important fixture for both WEEDS Colts and The Warriors. This was to be the mid-way game of the group campaign and could go a long way in determining their fate.

This was a repeat fixture from the 2016 Lisbon Veterans Tournament when the two teams met in Round 4 of Group B. Back then, the two teams reached half-time level at 0-0. Defensively WEEDS were sound but they were struggling for goals at the other end. Although earlier in the event this was also true of WEEDS today who were yet to concede.

In the second half in Lisbon it was The Warriors who forged ahead when James Newton struck. It was a goal that would earn his team all 3 points and propel them to third place in the table and ultimately qualify for the Cup. A repeat would do them just nicely!

If they were to do it they would need to do it without James Newton who was not on tour this year. Just like last year the two teams made it to half-time level at 0-0. Just like last year there would be a solitary second half goal to decide the tie. Unlike last year though the crucial strike would come from a WEEDS player as the Colts' Ian Holmes scored for the second game in a row to earn his team a 1-0 win.

It kept WEEDS Colts 100% record going and they lead Group B with a maximum 9 points.

Southgate County Vets made their first appearance at the 2016 Lisbon Veterans Tournament and found it tough going as they lost their opening four games before finishing with a goal-less draw against Crabtree Amblers. Could they reach the knock-out stages in Mallorca this year?

C'an Pastilla Vets versus Southgate County Vets was the next game on Pitch C and was a battle between the 5 th and 2nd placed teams. A win for Southgate County Vets would see them go joint top with WEEDS Colts and seemingly turn Group B into a two-horse race. A win by 4-goals or more would see them lead the way on goal difference.

Southgate County Vets' form here in Mallorca could not have been more different as they were flying. The same could not be said for C'an Pastilla Vets who were struggling with 2 defeats in a row. The game went with the form book as Southgate County Vets ran out 2-0 winners.

Jason Pugh and Matt Crighton scored the goals that sent them joint top of Group B but second on goal difference.

To complete Round 3 of Group B we awarded the 3-0 walkover win to Crabtree Amblers over Ferriolrence. The 3 points moved them on to 6 and just 3 points behind the leading two.
