Group A was rocked by news of the last-minute withdrawal of defending champions AFK Druhaci.  The 2007 Prague Trophy champions had to pull out due to their goalkeeper breaking his leg two days before the tournament and then a bout of illness across the rest of the squad depleting their numbers.

Group A kicked off the days proceedings in the morning mist with the opening pairings of The Chosen Ones and Atlantic Star - both teams making their eurofootballfives.com debut. The first goal of the day was scored by Jake Cooper to give The Chosen Ones the lead early on. Atlantic Star were not to be put off by this though as first of all Graham McAnally put them back on level terms before Daley Croston go ahead 2-1. Momentum was with Atlantic Star now but The Chosen Ones scored the fourth and crucial goal of the game to peg them back. The vital equaliser scored by Tommy Selfe. The final score of 2-2 meant one point each and a solid start to their Group A campaign.

Next up was the all Czech encounter between KBV and SK Zelenec. KBV were also making their eurofootballfives.com whilst SK Zelenec were looking to build upon their Cup semi-final appearance in the 2008 Prague Masters earlier in the season. SK Zelenec's eurofootballfives.com record before the game read 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. They were to make this 4 wins out of 7 in this fixture as they ran out 4-2 winners in a closely contested fixture. KBV unfortunately tasting defeat in their first game but the consolation for them was Michal Predikant and Miroslav Beneda getting on the scoresheet.

KBV went into their second game looking for their first points. They came up against The Chosen Ones who were looking to build upon their first round draw. When the referee blew the whistle for full time the teams could not be split. Michal Predikant added to his tally with another two goals while Jiri Kouba opened his account with the Czech side's third goal. The Chosen Ones were proving hard to beat and goals from Josh Huggett, Michael Parker and Jake Cooper (his second in as many games) earned another point for The Chosen Ones. A solid platform to kick-on in their final game.

SK Zelenec went into their second fixture topping the group and knowing that a second victory would ensure safe passage into the Cup competition. Standing in their way were Atlantic Star. The English team created chances but could not convert them whilst SK Zelenec capitalised at the other end to take all three points running out 2-0 winners.

With two wins out of two, SK Zelenec entered their final game with the pressure off knowing they were safely through. With the pressure off their game became much more expansive and The Chosen Ones met the full force of the Czech's fluid football. While Josh Huggett scored for the English team it proved to be a mere consolation as SK Zelenec completed a 6-1 victory.

The final game of Group A saw KBV entertain Atlantic Star. Both teams were on one point so a win for either side would guarantee Cup qualification. A draw would mean both teams, together with The Chosen Ones, would all finish on two points - with KBV going through courtesy of their better goal difference in each team's game against SK Zelenec. This afforded KBV the luxury of knowing they just needed to avoid defeat to go through. As it turned out they went one better than avoiding defeat by turning over Atlantic Star 2-1 in another close game. Michal Predikant and Miroslav Beneda scored their 4th and 2nd goals of the tournament for KBV while Ryan McCairm opened his account for Atlantic Star.

Congratulations to SK Zelenec and KBV who qualify for the Cup. Atlantic Star and The Chosen Ones would enter the Plate competition for their shot at silverware in the afternoon session.
