Goldsmith Williams and Wafty Crankers both went into their fixtures with a 1 game, 1 win record. A second win would elevate them to 6 points to go joint top with DHL Prague (although DHL Prague were yet to play this round). Goldsmith Will iams started the stronger of the two teams and went on to prove they had the greater firepower. Goals from Chris Williams , Kevin Smith , Adam Spicer and David Lowry were enough to send them on their way to a 4-1 victory. James Rowland's goal for Wafty Crankers was a mere consolation.

Wafty Crankers next match was against DHL Prague, one of their closest rivals for Cup qualification. Following the defeat against Goldsmith Will iams things were not looking good for the English team as DHL Prague raced into a 4-0 lead. Goals from Gareth Evers, Leo Echeverria, Brian Grabowski and Tomas Jerabek looked to have put DHL Prague in an unassailable position. The English team from Blackpool had other ideas though as they came storming back in the last five minutes. James Rowland gave them hope with a double strike. Neill Fraser made it 4-3 to really put the pressure on the Czechs. Then Michael Phillips made the comeback complete by adding a fourth to make it 4-4 and earn a vital point for Wafty Crankers. Not only earning a point for themselves but pegging back DHL Prague from 3 points to 1 point to keep it close at the top.

In the final game of the round Kehar Club were hoping their comeback against Real Apsley would kickstart their campaign. Up next for them were Lucky Leprechauns who were looking for their first points. Kehar Club must have fancied their chances but the Irish were not to be brushed aside easily and upset Kehar Club to make it a horrible title defence for the current title holders. The Lucky Leprechauns claimed their first victory in an end-to-end 6-4 victory. Hugh O Donnell and Thomas Jennings scored their first goals of the tournament before Steve McNamara scored four to take his personal tally to six for the competition.

The win gave Lucky Leprechauns hope of Plate qualification and the defeat of Kehar Club meant the Czechs could no longer defend their title. A Plate semi-final was still not mathematically beyond them but with one group game to go time was running out.
