Game 3 in Group A saw the two teams with opening games coming face-to-face as 9 Nana Budds of England met Shabbier of Spain. A win for either side would virtually guarantee qualification and a draw would both teams in prime to position to make the Cup but still with work to do. Both teams played confidently and were evenly matched. In contrast to the flurry of goals in the opening two games we would see just one goal in the opening period of this match. The goal, and first blood, went to Shabbier thanks to Sam Gabriel.

The next goal was always going to prove crucial in deciding the destination of the points and it was Shabbier who extended their lead to 2-0 through MP Matthews. 9 Nana Budds were not done though and they could be forgiven for being demoralized and folding but not a bit of it. They believed there was still something in this game for them. They were proved correct when Jack Kennedy reduced the arrears to 2-1. They pushed forward to grab the equaliser which ultimately eluded them as Shabbier held firm, despite a frantic finish, to claim all 3 points.

Although it was early doors it was must win time for CSF Oz and Art Hosteleria after first game defeats. A draw, whilst better than a defeat, would leave a lot of work to do going into the final game. Art Hosteleria emulated Shabbier on Pitch A by taking a Spanish lead against their English visitors. Borja Fernandez Gimeno got the ball rolling before Juan Soriano Ramon made it 2-0 at half-time. The start of the second period saw Art Hosteleria go 3-0 up thanks to Agusti Lopez Nacher's 2 nd goal in as many games. 3-0 was the way it ended meaning CSF Oz were destined for the Plate. Art Hosteleria were still in the mix for making Cup.
