The Cup Group would see each of the four finalists have 3 games against each other to decide, without doubt, who would be 2009 Valencia Fives champions.

The first game would be between Playoff Group B winners, Legends, and runners-up, Prisoners, on Pitch A. When they met first time round the game had been close at half-time with the teams level at 1-1 before the Spanish team ran away with the result in the second half. In this game Legends carried on where they left off after the group meeting as they hit three unanswered goals in the first half against Prisoners. The goals were scored by Siexxa, Londozo Gil and Drmdudu Msud.

The Prisoners with just 5 players were beginning to feel the heat in the Valencia sun as the lack of subs gave no respite for their players. It is only to their credit that they summoned up an impressive second half performance to come back into this game. Goals from Swede Kalle Magnusson and Argentine Alejandro Parcolazo gave the Prisoners something to cheer but a Luis Marias Lopez strike for the Legends kept them at arms length and secured a 4-2 victory that would see them top the Cup group at the end of Round 1.

On Pitch B, we would see the two teams emerging from Group B meet each other for a second time. Shabbier edged a close game 2-1 in the morning phase and this game promised to be every bit of tight. In the end it was a thriller with the watching galleries treated to a 9 goal extravaganza and when the referee blew the final whistle it would be just the one goal that separated these two sides. In the first half it was 9 Nana Budds who took the early initiative and led at the break 3-2. There was ebb and flow throughout the game but it was always 9 Nana Budds one step ahead but never pulling away. Shabbier showed firm resistance as they kept bringing the game back to prevent 9 Nana Budds pulling away.

This game was worthy of a knock-out final as the two teams fought like boxers going hell for leather in the ring. It was blow for blow and when the sands of time ran out it was 9 Nana Budds who returned to their corner in triumph with a priceless 5-4 victory.

MP Matthews was continuing his charge to be top goalscorer as he bagged his 10th and 11th goals of the tournament with Sam Gabriel and Cameron Parker also finding the net for Shabbier. For 9 Nana Budds the goalscoring heroes were Paul Taylor, Alex Easter, Jack Kennedy and Will Crowther (2). Will Crowther the man with the crucial deciding goal.
