It was crunch time in Group A and Round 6 started with WEEDS Colts versus Los Amblos.

At the 2017 Mallorca Veterans Tournament these two teams finished with near identical records in the group phase. Both teams claimed 10 points from 5 games and both had a +4 goal difference. Los Amblos finished above WEEDS Colts on “goals scored”. It was the difference between Los Amblos making the Cup and WEEDS Colts making the Plate. When the two teams met head to head the game finished 0-0.

Today's results suggested WEEDS Colts were the team in greater form on the day and would start the game as favourites. They were also in greater need of the points as they were battling with FC Miracle for Cup qualification. Los Amblos were heading for the Plate.

The result went with the form book in what was another tight contest between the two teams. Ian “Robbo” Roberts goal was the difference between the two teams at the final whistle.

 
 
 

The Warriors appeared here in the Algarve when they made their debut in the summer of 2015 at the Algarve Veterans Tournament. They started off well in Group B with two 1-0 wins in their first 3 games and ultimately finished 4th in the table. They then defeated Ashtead Vets 1-0 in the Plate Semi-Finals before just missing out on the winner's trophy as Norton Old Boys emerged victorious 1-0.

They had found today a little tougher with 4 points from their opening 4 games – the same amount as their opponents Chorltonians Vets. With WEEDS Colts victory in the previous game, Cup qualification was mathematically impossible for these two sides. They were now playing for as high a position in the table as possible to get the best available draw in the Plate Quarter-Finals.

An Alex Finney goal for The Warriors meant it was they who collected all three points in a 1-0 victory.

 
 
 

It was now the turn of FC Miracle to claim their 3-0 walkover points which saw them retain second place in the table going into the final round.
