GBS Reds were scheduled to be in action in Pitch A against Team Extreme in Round 2 but, as we now knew, they would be unable to fulfil their fixtures. Team Extreme picked up a 3-0 walkover win.

The next action on the field was in on Pitch B as Frank Hirth took on Damjan Radeka.

Frank Hirth began life in eurofootballfives.com competition at the 2014 Berlin Fives and made a strong debut. In Berlin, the Frank Hirth A team won Group C with a 100% record and the B team finished 2nd in Group A (behind 2013 Mallorca Five winners Grant Thornton from Paris). The two teams were successful in their Cup Quarter-Finals setting up a derby showdown in the Cup Semi-Finals. The A team won it narrowly, 2-1, and progressed to the Cup Final and just missed out on the ultimate glory going down 4-3 to Hasanheide Hotspur.

They followed up Berlin with a trip to the 2015 Lisbon Tournament. Frank Hirth B finished joint second in their group but third on goal difference so qualified for the Plate which they went on to win. Frank Hirth A were joint 4 th in their group but 5th on goal difference so qualified for the Trophy….which they also went on to win. They concentrate their strength into one team for the 2016 Prague Tournament.

The policy had started well with a 1-0 win against CIS Committee Juniors in Round 1. They found Damjan Radeka a much tougher proposition. Damjan Radeka – newly merged with GBS Reds – were about to play for the first time and they made an impressive start.

Two goals in the first half for the Czech team were followed by three in the second half as Damjan Radeka recorded a resounding victory. There was two goals each for Veniamin Dmitriev and Dias Idrissov plus a goal for Rehat Yessenzhanov. It was an emphatic start for Damjan Radeka.

With their first games under their belts it was match #2 for CIS Committee Juniors and OKFC in Group A as they had now had time to settle into the tournament.

Both teams had slipped to opening game defeat and would be keen to bounce back. At the end of the first half both teams had proved to be more competitive and they went into the interval level at 0-0. It meant at the start of the second half both teams were still looking for their first goals of the tournament.

For one of these teams that search for goals would come to an end as CIS Committee Juniors broke their duck. Pavel Tumash scored his team's first and soon after bagged his second. At 2-0 the points looked destined to fall into Belarus hands and if there was any doubt Aliaksandr Lisouski made it 3-0 to put the game beyond doubt.

CIS Committee's second team “Juniors” had their first win. OKFC's hunt for their first win would continue.
