Round 2 began with Moles Salah A against The Shirker's Rest. Moles Salah made their debut at the 2022 Lisbon Tournament which was a high quality affair. It was a tough opener as they lost 4-1 to local side Montenalas FC and 3-0 to Sirkumo FC. They then lost 6-0 to 2017 & 2023 champions, Pangere FC of Brazil. They then recorded a great 2-0 win over 3-times Cup champions Skidmarks. White Collar Revolution then defeated them 5-0 in the final group game as they finished 5 th of 6 teams to qualify for the Trophy. In the Semi-Finals they defeated 2021 Barcelona Fives Plate & 2023 Amsterdam Sixes Plate winners, FC Maroon, 2-1. They then met Skidmarks again in the final but couldn't repeat the earlier result and lost 2-1. They collected runners-up medals in the presentation.

The 2023 Krakow Trophy saw them begin with a crushing 6-0 win against Krwiodawcow Cracovii before meeting Skidmarks for a third time in our events. They lost this one 4-1 but quickly returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over TaHu (Fin). A third win in four games was secured by beating Alea Iacta Est 2-1. They met the group leaders Colonel Getafe in the final group game needing a win to reach the Cup but a 3-1 loss meant Plate qualification. In the Semi-Finals they drew the toughest possible tie against 2017 Krakow Trophy & 2019 Gdansk Tournament Cup winners, Big Time Krakow. They pushed them close but lost narrowly, 1-0.

It wasn't to be Moles Salah who took the lead in this one though as it was The Shirker's Rest who forged ahead. For the second game in a row it was Chris Breen who broke the deadlock to give his side the lead. For the second game in a row, The Shirker's Rest were pegged back as Finn O'Hickey levelled the score at 1-1. Another statistical second as it was O'Hickey's second goal and second equalizer in as many games.

Moles Salah A began with a solid point in a 1-1 draw against Mitre FC B in their first games and they were headed for another point in Round 2. That was until Luke Burnett had the final say in terms of goalscoring. Luke Burnett's goal ensured The Shirker's Rest would have their first 3 points of the day in a 2-1 victory.

The next match on Pitch B was Foot 130 B versus Mitre FC B. The two respective A teams had already met in Group A and played out a thrilling 4-4 draw which had seen both teams lead and both teams comeback. If the B teams could serve up a game half as good we would be in for an exciting contest.

Just as they had in their opening match it was Mitre FC B who took the lead. This time it was Marlon Moore on the scoresheet. Foot 130 B were playing for the first time today as they'd received their walkover win in Round 1. Maybe they were caught cold early doors but they soon got into their stride. Natan Decarriere scored their first of the day to equalize before Maxime Remesy put the French side ahead. Natan Decarriere put Foot 130 B 3-1 ahead as they began to ease away from their opponents.

When Adrien Esteve made it 4-1 the game was over in terms of the result but there was still time for a further goal. Henry Forsyth converted his chance to make it 4-2 in what was to be a mere consolation. The victory put Foot 130 B top.

To complete Round 2 we had the walkover victory where we awarded Mardi Southgate Gras their 3-0 win against BP Hatters.
