The 2010 Valencia Fives Plate Final was to be contested by Los Halcones and Karma FC. On a tough day of competition both teams had played 6 games to reach this stage and they would need to muster the energy for one last push to make sure it was lucky game 7 for them.

Karma FC were making their first Plate Final against a team who already had one Plate Final under their belts when they came runners-up to Spanish team Equipo A in the 2009 Barca Fives. Los Halcones would hope that experience would stand them in good stead to go one step further this time and claim their first eurofootballfives.com trophy.

Both teams entered the final on a fine run of form. Los Halcones had won their last three games scoring 16 goals and conceding just three. Karma FC's record over the last two games was almost impressive with 9 goals in that period conceding 3. Both teams had good momentum.

When the game got underway the two teams were fairly evenly matched but Los Halcones forged ahead as Dan Cooke broke the deadlock. It was a lead they were to hold until half-time. In the second half, the next goal was always going to be crucial and when Manu Adubufour made it 2-0 Los Halcones had one hand on the trophy. Adubufour then hit two more to complete his hat-trick and give his team an unassailable lead. Yaser El Borgi also got in on the act and there could be no doubt who the Plate champions were as Los Halcones completed a 5-0 win.

Our congratulations to Karma FC who exceeded their own expectations on the day and played superbly.

This year though, the glory, the trophy and the winners medals go to Los Halcones. Well done lads.
