Group A saw one of the clear tournament favourites emerge in Red Star Rickerbys. Red Star Rickerbys hit the ground running and took no time at all getting into their stride with a 5-0 win over Slavia Cobalt Silver Foxes (CSF). Craig Bryant started the rout, followed by goals from Danny Williams, Drevin Doshi and a brace from David Runciman. It was the perfect start, although Captain Simon Pike conceded 5-0 may have been flattering; however they thoroughly deserved their victory.

Red Star Rickerbys followed up their 5-0 first round victory with a solid 2-0 win over John Barnes FC. Danny Williams opened the scoring with his second of his tournament. The second goal by Spencer Turner completed the victory. Red Star Rickerbys completed their group with a 3-0 walkover against the Lions Bar. Red Star Rickerbys unsurprisingly topped the group with a 100% record and without conceding a goal. A marker had been lay down.

The Lions Bar unfortunately failed to show for the event - the first ever and hopefully last ‘no show' at a eurofootballfives.com tournament. This fact led to the team conceding 3-0 victories to all their opponents.

So with top and bottom sorted, this left Slavia CSF and John Barnes FC to battle it out for 2nd place. The prize for 2nd was a chance to play in the Cup Competition, 3rd place would mean entry into the Plate Competition.

The game finished 1-1 leaving the teams level on 4 points a piece. Courtesy of only losing 2-0 (instead of 5-0) to the Red Star Rickerbys, John Barnes FC finished 2nd and progressed forward to the Cup.
