Group B began with Ireland versus England as Mestallaban took on FC Dad. Mestallaban return to eurofootballfives action having participated in the 2010 Prague Masters. On that occasion they struggled in the group stage before finding their feet in the afternoon knock-out stage. A 4-2 win over Celtic Craic followed by a 2-0 win over the New Camps earned them the Wooden Spoon playoff victory.

 

FC Dad make their second eurofootballfives appearance in Valencia. Prague was also the destination for their debut with us (in 2011 though) where they reached the Plate Quarter-Finals. They have already signed up for next season's 2013 Lisbon Tournament….maybe they'll be travelling to Portugal with Valencia medals in their pockets.

 

It was David Crewdson of FC Dad who scored Group B's first goal and it gave his team a 1-0 lead at the interval. Honours were even in the second half as two goals were shared by Stuart Leslie (FC Dad) and Emmet Egan (Mestallaban) providing a 2-1 victory to FC Dad….a great start for them.
 
 
 

Match 2 saw FC Miracle take on Kings Old Boys. FC Miracle represent Hungary in the 2012 Valencia Fives having made their nation proud at the 2011 Barca Fives in November. They made a fine debut in a difficult group finishing level on points with France's Luminy Wolves (2009 champions). They went on to make the final where they led 1-0 for a period but ultimately missed out 2-1 to a strong Midshires FC team. In the 2012 Algarve Open they were equally as strong winning Group C and winning 5 successive games before losing in the Cup Semi-Finals 1-0 to CFC A of France. Will Valencia be third time lucky?

 

Kings Old Boys began their eurofootballfives adventure in the 2009 Barca Fives making the Plate Semi-Finals and along the way proved they are an unusual English team – they won a penalty shoot-out! In the 2010 Amsterdam Fives they proved to be a stronger outfit and made it through to the Cup Semi-Finals where they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to eventual champions Goldsmith Williams. A return to Barcelona in April 2011 saw another Cup qualification thanks to an impressive display in the Group stage. Their quest was ended in the Quarter-Finals when a Golden Goal by local team Sesimbassa ended their title hopes. There was glory in the 2011 Valencia Fives when Kings Old Boys won the Plate title. Can they defend their crown in 2012 or even take Cup glory?

 

What followed was a 9-goal thriller. Mike Diprose scored Kings Old Boys first goal of the day but this was overshadowed in the first half by a double strike from Csaba Balogh and a goal from Laszlo Zsolt. Five further goals after the break produced a 6-3 win for FC Miracle with Laszlo Zsolt going on to complete a hat-trick and Janos Molnar also scoring. For Kings Old Boys Adam Edwards and Stephen Walker found the net but in vain.

 
 
 

The final teams in Group B to start their challenge were Nothigam Pressa versus Club Tropicana Drinks FC. Both teams were making their debut so we're unable to preview this game for you but it was an opportunity for these two teams to lay down a marker and set the tone for their Group B campaign.

 

By half-time we were none the wiser on the destination of the points as the teams from Spain and England were locked together at 1-1. David Dominguez Ponce with the goal for the home team, Tom Green with the goal for the visitors.

 

Could either team find a winner in the second half? Cometh the hour, cometh the man and that man was Mark Frampton of Club Tropicana Drinks FC. His goal proved to be the winning strike. Final score, 2-1.

 

A cracking start for Club Tropicana Drinks FC. Nothigam Pressa should not be too disappointed though as they played pretty well.
