Under
the glorious Prague sun, the Prague Fives continued
to deliver thrilling matches, and the clash between
Mitre FC A and FCRK was no exception. Mitre FC
A, coming off a 4-4 draw and a dominant 5-0 victory,
were eager to consolidate their position near
the top of the table. In contrast, FCRK, having
faced two heavy defeats (3-0 and 7-1), were determined
to turn their fortunes around.
The
match began with Mitre FC A displaying their attacking
prowess. Sam Pagano, the tournament's top scorer,
wasted no time in making his mark, putting Mitre
FC A 1-0 up with his eighth goal of the tournament.
This early strike set the tone for the game, and
Mitre FC A continued to press forward. Rowen Mensah
then doubled the lead with his first goal of the
tournament, showcasing his skill and composure.
The momentum remained firmly with Mitre FC A as
Adam Smith added a third goal, also his first
of the tournament, to put them 3-0 ahead.
FCRK,
despite the scoreline, showed resilience and managed
to pull one back through Lee Jun Hyeong, who found
the net to make it 3-1. This goal injected some
hope into the FCRK side, but their joy was short-lived.
Mitre FC A, determined to secure the victory,
responded swiftly. Joseph Atunrase sealed the
win with his third goal of the tournament, making
it 4-1. This final strike underscored Mitre FC
A's dominance and highlighted their clinical finishing.
Mitre
FC opened up a 3 point lead at the top of the
table and had thrown down the gauntlet to Foot
130 A and Moles Salah B who had a game each in
hand. FCRK, despite their spirited effort, remained
in 6th place, still seeking their first points
of the competition.

FC
Fylde Old Boys made their eurofootballfives.com
debut at the 2017 Krakow Trophy, fielding two
teams. The A team won two out of five games
in a challenging group, advancing to the Plate
where they triumphed 7-1 in the Semi-Finals
but lost on penalties in the final. The B team
topped Group B with 12 points, reaching the
Cup Semi-Finals but narrowly missing out on
a final spot with a 2-1 loss. In the 2018 Amsterdam
Fives, the A team finished third in their group
and qualified for the Cup, only to be defeated
by the eventual winners, while the B team struggled
and exited early.
In
the 2019 Alicante Tournament, FC Fylde concentrated
their efforts into one team, finishing third
in their group and qualifying for the Cup, though
they were eliminated by the eventual winners
again. Returning post-Covid at the 2023 Lisbon
Tournament, they started strong but finished
third in their group, advancing to the Plate
where they secured a win in the knockout phase
before a 4-1 defeat ended their run. Throughout
these tournaments, FC Fylde Old Boys have consistently
showcased resilience and competitive spirit.
They
would need all that resilience to bounce back
from defeat last time out but were still well
placed in the table due to a 3-0 opening win.
Another win here could see them move up to second
in the table. It would not be easy against an
unbeaten Moles Salah B team who could go joint
top with a win of their own.
It
was Fylde FC Old Boys who struck first. Nathaniel
Smithies scored twice in Round 1 and was on
the scoresheet again here. Michael Dryden made
it 2-0 and things were looking good but Moles
Salah B had other ideas. George Harnett was
on target to reduce the lead to 2-1 but Fylde
FC Old Boys soon re-established the two goal
cushion with Dryden's second of the game. They
soon had the luxury of a three goal lead as
Ryan Errington made it 4-1. Jack Barr kept up
his record of scoring in every game as he reduced
the lead to 4-2 but his goal was to prove a
mere consolation as Fylde FC Old Boys completed
a 4-2 win.

To
complete Round 3 was Spider Mans & Eagle versus
Foot 130.
Spider
Mans & Eagle made their eurofootballfives.com
debut at the 2014 Bratislava Fives, finishing
second in their group and advancing to the Cup
Quarter-Finals. Despite a valiant 2-2 draw, they
exited on penalties. In the 2015 Budapest Fives,
they finished third in their group, and a 5-0
Quarter-Final win saw them reach the Semi-Finals,
where they again faced defeat to CIS Committee.
The 2015 Lisbon Tournament saw them draw four
out of five games, finishing fifth in their group
and exiting in the knockout phase after a penalty
shootout loss. Their best performance came at
the 2016 Krakow Trophy, where they won all group
games, reached the Cup Final, but ultimately lost
5-2 to Tinniedad & Tobacco.
In
their first Amsterdam visit in 2016, Spider Mans
1s finished second in their group but were knocked
out in the Quarter-Finals. At the 2017 Budapest
Fives, they finished second in their group but
were narrowly defeated by the eventual champions
in the Quarter-Finals. The 2017 Amsterdam Sixes
saw them lift their first trophy by winning the
Plate. They continued to perform well, particularly
in the 2017 Barcelona Fives, where they dominated
the group stage but exited in the Cup Quarter-Finals.
In 2018, they had mixed results in Riga and Gdansk,
and at the 2019 Lisbon Tournament, their 5hitters
team reached the Cup Semi-Finals. They also competed
in the 2020 Warsaw Tournament, finishing third
in their group and exiting in the Plate Semi-Finals.
Their last appearance was at the 2022 Amsterdam
Fives, where they had a strong start but were
eliminated in the group stage.
Spider
Mans had taken 1 point from 6 so far today and
the last thing they needed was a match against
Foot 130 A who were so far unbeaten and had a
chance to go top with a victory. Warren Whitmore
gave the English team the perfect start as he
put his team 1-0 up. It only seemed to spur Foot
130 A into action. Rodrigue Atikossie responded
with a hat-trick before Sebastian Thomas, Antoine
Borrel and Basile de Fontenay all scored to make
it 6-1. Spider Mans & Eagle did have the final
say when Liam Angel made it 6-2 but Foot 130 A
marched on.
