De Daggoes and Wentworth Arms treated the crowd on Pitch 1 to a high-scoring thriller as Round 3 of Group B got underway. It was a game packed with attacking flair, defensive lapses, and standout individual performances. De Daggoes came into the match still searching for their first points, while Wentworth Arms were unbeaten and looking to tighten their grip on a top-two spot. By full-time, Wentworth Arms had done just that with a 7-4 win, in a contest that saw 11 goals shared between the teams.

The first half was a sign of things to come — fast-paced and full of chances. Wentworth Arms had the sharper finishing, going into the break with a 3-1 lead. Liam O'Connell continued his red-hot scoring form with two first-half goals, while Michael Wright also found the net. De Daggoes responded with a goal from Jayden Almeida, who would go on to be one of the game's standout players himself.

The second half carried on in the same end-to-end fashion. Jayden Almeida completed a superb hat-trick for De Daggoes, showing great composure in front of goal, and teammate Artur Pevsariyan also got in on the act. However, their efforts weren't enough to overturn the deficit as Wentworth Arms kept their foot on the gas. O'Connell added two more goals to take his personal tally to four for the match — and eight overall in the tournament — while Michael Davey and Anthony Morgan chipped in to complete a dominant attacking performance.

The result confirmed Wentworth Arms as serious contenders for the Cup places, maintaining their unbeaten run with 7 points from 9. Liam O'Connell's name is now firmly in the frame for the Golden Boot as his incredible goal tally continues to rise. For De Daggoes, despite another defeat, they showed attacking promise and spirit, but their leaky defence remains a concern. They'll need to shore things up quickly if they're to avoid early elimination.

Last but not least in Round 3 was Tilbury Douglas v Totoriino on Pitch 3. This was a top-of-the-table clash between two unbeaten teams, both looking to take control of Group B. Totoriino had a perfect record coming into the game, while Tilbury Douglas were just behind them with a win and a draw. With both teams in fine form, this was set up as one of the standout fixtures of the round.

As expected in a battle between the top two, it was a tightly contested affair. Neither side was willing to give an inch, and while both had their moments going forward, the defences took centre stage. The attacking flair that had lit up the earlier rounds was largely neutralised in a tactical contest where discipline and organisation were key.

Not often do we see a 0-0 on these pitches — matches have averaged almost five goals per game so far — which is a real testament to the defensive units on both sides. Both goalkeepers were excellent when called upon, commanding their areas with confidence and pulling off the saves when needed. The back lines in front of them also stayed compact and composed throughout.

While Totoriino lost their 100% record, they maintained their unbeaten status and top position in the group. Tilbury Douglas remained firmly in the mix and could take encouragement from being the first side to stop the Italians from scoring. A valuable point apiece in a high-quality encounter between two sides who look set for deep runs in the competition.
