It's Back began Round 3 against FC Dad with both teams looking for a first win of the day. The teams sat in 6th and 5th place respectively so a win here would give them a timely push up the table.

Following two defeats it was It's Back who took the early initiative through Charlie Court and George Bowman. It was not a one-side affair though as Stuart Leslie's goal for FC Dad meant it was 2-1 at half-time.

With the game delicately poised the fourth goal of the game was always going to be crucial. Could FC Dad bag an equalizer or could It's Back open up a two goal cushion which would almost certainly be decisive. If you're an It's Back supporter you would be delighted to hear it was the latter as Pete Malone's goal sealed victory. It was a great win for It's Back that saw them climb from 6th to 3rd and with two game to go they were in a position to fight for Cup qualification.

FC Dad remained in 5th place on 1 point with games beginning to run out in the group phase.

To complete Round 3 was Team Also-Ran versus Deportivo. The Irish team had just picked up their first victory and would no doubt want to make it two out of two and get some momentum going. Deportivo were not the ideal opposition for this task who themselves were looking for a victory to go joint top again with GBS Reds.

Deportivo started in rampant style and surged into a 3-0 lead by half-time thanks to two goals from Jesus Castillo and a strike from Andi Guadalupe. Things did improve for Team Also-Ran in the second period when they reduced arrears to 3-1 with Shane Murphy's fourth goal of the day. Time was against Team Also-Ran though and there was to be no further scoring. Deportivo jointed GBS Reds on 9 points, Team Also-Ran were down a place in 4th.
