When
the game got underway it was Olympic Phil Babb
who flew out the traps and raced into a 3-0 lead
by half-time. We could not quite believe what
we were seeing as we all expected this to be a
tight contest. Two more goals from Alex Woolston
taking him up to 9 goals in the tournament and
James Cooper's 6th of the day put Olympic Phil
Babb in firm control of this final.
It
was difficult to see any team coming back from
this but if anyone could you may put your money
on Lozenetz City . Captain Alexander Kyulev scored
his fourth of the day to make it 3-1 and they
had a toe in the door. When Kyulev scored again
they were in striking distance at 3-2 knowing
that just one more goal would take this game into
extra time. No sooner had they pulled it back
to 3-2 then Olympic Phil Babb went straight up
the other end to make it 4-2 through Alex Woolston
again. The goal was a hammer blow to Lozenetz
City 's hopes and proved to be the final nail
in the coffin.
It
was a fantastic result for Olympic Phil Babb who
had won their third title in three tournaments.
They became the first team to win 3 eurofootballfives.com
tournaments and we salute this fantastic accomplishment.
Alex
Woolston's hat-trick would take the headlines
and it was only the second hat-trick scored in
a final in eurofootballfives.com history (following
Daniel House for Dogshead FC in the 2009 Prague
Trophy). It also meant he had scored an amazing
6 goals in 3 eurofootballfives.com finals.
It
would take a great achievement to beat Alex Woolston
to the 2010 Prague Masters Top Goalscorer Award.
That achievement was secured by Cheesecake FC's
Mark Hignett with a grand total of 11 goals. A
big hats off to him.
Our
commiserations go to Lozenetz City on coming so
close again. They have had a superb July in eurofootballfives.com
competition reaching 3 finals and picking up the
2010 Manchester Fives title. We look forward to
seeing them again in competition next year.
We
send our congratulations to all the teams who
participated in what was a great day's competition.
The tournament had everything and we look forward
to seeing you all again very soon. |
