Throughout the game, both The Shepherd's Arms and Summerhouse displayed skillful play, determination, and strong defensive performances. The teams fought relentlessly to find a breakthrough, but the opposing defenses held firm, denying any clear-cut goal-scoring opportunities.

The match continued with intensity, with both sides showcasing their tactical acumen and resilience. Despite their best efforts, the final whistle blew with the scoreline remaining 0-0. This was a huge surprise given the two teams boasted the top two goalscorers in the tournament. Despite the lack of goals the game was still captivating and dramatic.

The goalless draw meant that the Cup Final would be decided by a penalty shootout. Summerhouse would have the honour of taking the first penalty. Wilner Leijgraaff with 7 goals in tournament play struck the ball hard towards the top left corner and in off the underside of the bar. Up first for The Shepherd's Arms was Andrew Payne who also struck it well and into the cross-bar but he got too much on it and it rebounded to safety. Advantage Summerhouse. That advantage did not last long as Ammaar Shoaib went for the top right corner but it was too high and a little wide and it was game on again. Goalkeeper Areeb Shoaib came to Ammaar's rescue when he saved Charley Charman-Hitchings penalty which was struck down the centre of the goal. It meant that Mika had the chance to win it for his side. He had 5 goals in tournament play and he was to see the net ripple again as his penalty to the bottom left corner won the 2023 Amsterdam Sixes title for his team.

The Shepherd's Arms and Summerhouse can both take pride in their performances, as they showcased their abilities throughout the tournament and reached the pinnacle of the competition. The evenly matched nature of the final highlighted the strength and competitiveness of both teams.

We offer our consolations to The Shepherd's Arms who were absolutely superb on the day and put in a stunning effort. Wales can be very proud of their efforts. Their was some consolation for Tomos Reed who picked up the top goalscorer award with 8 goals so very well done to him on a personal level.
