The 2010 Prague Masters Plate Final was to be contested by The Bernabeu Butchers and DHL Prague Red. On a tough day of competition both teams had played 6 games to reach this stage and they would need to muster the energy for one last push to make sure it was lucky game 7 for them.

The Bernabeu Butchers were making their first Plate Final against a team who already had one Plate win under their belts (2008 Barca Fives) and two sets of Runners-Up medals (2008 Prague Trophy, 2010 Krakow Trophy). DHL Prague Red were no strangers to finals and would hope that experience would stand them in good stead for Plate win number two.

When the game started, Plate win number two looked less likely as James Halliday put the Bernebeu Butchers one goal up in the opening half. The good thing for DHL Prague Red was that they still had time to recover. By half-time they were unable to do this as The Bernabeu Butchers had preserved their 1-0 advantage.

The Bernabeu Butchers goalkeeper Simon Pike was yet to concede in the knock-out phase in five halves of football so DHL Prague Red's task to get back into this final was going to be a really tough one. That task got even harder when James Halliday scored his second of the game to put Bernabeu Butchers 2-0 up. Halliday was really coming into his own in this knock-out phase with his fourth goal in three games and his sixth of the tournament. That's how it finished, 2-0.

You had to feel sorry for DHL Prague Red who had put a great deal of effort into their challenge all day and come so close to success. Unfortunately it was to no avail and they collected their hat-trick of runners-up medals to cushion the blow a little. It was the gold winners medals they wanted though and Plate victory number two is surely not too far away.

This year though, the glory, the trophy and the winners medals go to Bernabeu Butchers. Well done lads.
