The draw for the quarter final of the Cup was shaping up nicely with 4 teams on 100% records and some strong 2 nd place sides performing well and all capable of defeating their table-topping opposition.

Quarter Final 1 saw Red Star Rickerbys take on DHL Prague (the 1-0 specialists). The teams were well matched and this always looked like being a close game. That is exactly what it proved to be. Red Star Rickerbys, who had yet to concede chose the worst time possible to put in a relatively poor (compared to their own previous high standards) defensive display. DHL Prague took full advantage. At 2-0 down, Red Star Rickerbys had given themselves too much to do and a goal from Craig Bryant would be in vain. Bryant would score Red Star's first and final goal of the tournament as the game finished 2-1. DHL Prague were the first team through to the Cup Semi Final.

Who would meet them though? Dogshead FC and We Are Messi would battle it out. Dogshead went into the game as favourites with 4 wins out of 4. It was a shock then when We Are Messi took the lead through their top scorer Chris Pye. The first goal was crucial and gave something for We Are Messi to cling on to. A hard fought display was not quite good enough and Dogshead pulled level to take the game into sudden death extra time. The teams could still not be separated. With Captains beginning to think of their penalty takers, up stepped Chris Pye to score his 2 nd and send We Are Messi into the Semi Final. Sadly Dogshead FC's participation was over - there were many who thought they would go onto win the whole tournament. We Are Messi emerged victorious in what was to be considered the shock of the round.

In the other half of the draw AMG had the most comfortable tie of the round seeing off John Barnes FC. The result was a comfortable one and the final 4-1 score was arguably justified. Rickard Worr all but secured the top goalscorer award with his 2 nd hat trick of the day. He was now on 10 for the tournament.

Southampton Muppets, having been unlucky to draw Dogshead FC in their group now met the ‘on fire' AFK Druhaci. Southampton Muppets were not to let themselves down though and put in a brave performance. AFK Drhaci taking the game by the narrowest of margins 1-0. Marek Kropelnicky with his 5 th of the day was enough to split the teams.
