The
final game for CSF Kiwi
in Playoff Group B was against the Legends
of Spain. A win for the CSF would put both teams
on 6 points along with the Prisoners and leaving
it down to goal difference to decide the two teams
who would make the elite Cup competition. At half-time
they were well in with a chance as they were holding
their Spanish opponents 1-1 with Ross Bowman (CSF
Kiwi) and Luis Marias Lopez (Legends) goals cancelling
each other out.
Legends
were emerging as a second half team as they turned
a 1-1 scoreline at half-time into a 5-1 win against
Prisoners. They were at it again in this game
as 1-1 at half-time became 4-1 at full time thanks
to an explosive 2nd half. The chief architect
of their victory was hat-trick hero Drmdudu Msud.
The win confirmed Legends as Group B champions
on 9 points and condemned CSF Kiwi to the Plate
where they would meet sister squad CSF Oz and
Art Hosteleria.
The
only other admin to sort out was to add a 3-0
Prisoners walkover victory to the group
standings which would confirm them in second place.
They qualified for the Cup and would have 3 games
to see if they could take the 2009 Valencia Fives
title. |
