The
eurofootballfives.com late summer Veterans Tournament
returned to Barcelona for the 2025 season after
a successful visit to Porto in 2024. JK Silvertown
were making a habit of victories on the road
as they won the Plate in Barcelona 2023, the
Cup in Porto 2024 and added another Cup trophy
to their haul with success here in Barcelona.
They
were sublime on the day and worthy winners as
they went through the tournament unbeaten (7
wins, 1 draw) culminating in a 4-2 Cup Final
win. In the Cup Final, they defeated Celtic
Eagles who had a pretty decent day themselves
as they were unbeaten until running into JK
Silvertown. They showed they had enough quality
to win on the eurofootballfives.com stage at
some point in the future.
In
the Plate competition it was Skidmarks who dominated.
The team, who had won 3x titles in our Open
Age tournaments over the years, competed in
the Veterans section for the first time. They
had two teams - both finished third in their
respective groups and both reached the Plate
Final. When the Plate Final concluded it was
Skidmarks 4Gs who defeate their OGs counterparts
to take victory.
For
the individual honours, Chris Wright won the
top scorer prize with 12 goals. It was his third
golden boot after winning the same prize at
the 2018 Amsterdam Fives & 2023 Barcelona
Fives..
Well
done to everyone for an amazing day of competition
and thank you to all teams who participated
and played the tournament in such a great spirit
and atmosphere. We hope to see you all again
soon.
