The Cup Quarter-Finals saw four Czech teams and four English teams square up to battle it out to become the 2008 Prague Trophy champions.

In the first quarter-final, SK Zelenec met Red Star Rickerbys. SK Zelenec were looking to make it to their second successive eurofootballfives.com Cup semi-final. Red Star Rickerbys lost 2-1 to DHL Prague at the same stage last year and were looking to go one step further this year. They would find it tough against SK Zelenec who came into the game with three wins out of three. They made no mistake in making it four wins out of four as they dominated from start to finish. The game finished 5-1. The result never looked in doubt and it was a shame for Red Star Rickerbys who would have to settle for another quarter-final finish. Red Star Rickerbys have already mentioned they will be returning next year and we look forward to seeing thier challenge in the 2009 Prague Trophy.

The second quarter-final saw East meet West as the two Germany sides came face to face. These 'derby' games are never easy when you are playing your "team-mates". It is often difficult to raise the intensity of the game but you need to be ruthless and remember that for the duration of the game your opposition are not your friends. It was East Germany who were favourites going into the game and they lived up to their favourites billing by sweeping aside their friends from the West with a comfortable margin of 3-0. Ben Craig scored a double and Scott Croucher added to his tournament goal tally.

The third quarter-final saw the most emphatic victory with Kehar Club on the title trail once again. Having won the 2007 Prague Masters, you could see that Kehar Club had the taste for victory again and it was going to take a strong performance to stop them on their charge. Michal Predikant did his best for KBV notching his 6th of the competition. Jan Sekerka scored his third hat-trick of the tournament with goals also from Jan Cihal, Lukas Ostry, Petr Kaminski and Pavel Trminek securing a comprehensive 7-1 win.

DHL Prague Blue and Premier Medical met in the final quarter-final and closest quarter-final. Having gone 108 games without a 0-0 draw DHL Prague Red ended that run with a goal-less draw against NHBC in the group phase. In the knock-out phase their sister team, DHL Prague Blue emulated the feat after a further 23 games for 0-0 draw number two. Two periods of Golden Goal extra time could still not seperate the two teams and we had our first penalty shoot-out of the tournament.

It is often said that the penalty shoot-out creates heroes and villains. There was no doubt who the hero was in this penalty shoot-out. That honour went to the Premier Medical goalkeeper, Rupert Neal. He saved both penalties that DHL Prague Blue threw at him. The penalties were both well-struck and in the corner but both times Neal stretched out to his right to push the efforts away to safety. The Premier Medical strikers fulfilled their part of the bargain and sealed a 2-0 penalty shoot-out win. A semi-final against Kehar Club was their reward.
