eurofootballfives.com made a long awaited debut in Budapest in 2011 and boy was it worth the wait. 20 teams from the Czech Republic, England, France, Hungary and Sweden assembled to do battle in the Hungarian Capital.

On a glorious summer's day the football was every bit as glorious as the weather. The big story throughout the day was whether Olympic Phil Babb could make it tournament win number four. Following success in the 2008 Amsterdam Fives, 2009 Algarve Open, 2010 Prague Masters they were favourites to add the 2011 Budapest Fives trophy to their cabinet. Could they do it?

Well, yes they could but it was not easy. They needed two penalty shoot-outs and a narrow 1-0 Quarter-Final win against a spirited Centrale Paris A team in order to secure the prize. If anyone was in any doubt of their champions quality - they showed it here in abundance. Word is the 2012 Mallorca Tournament is their next target.

We have to say commisserations to Budapest Celtic Tigers and Csabagyongye who came so close in the Final and Semi-Finals respectively.

The Plate competition was won by local team Al Kaloida defeating English team Deportivo Lack of Talent 2-1 in a close final.

The Wooden Spoon prize saw Whiteley VII defeat Swedish team A Magyar Pekseg to pick up the little wooden objet d'art!

Personal honours in the Top Goalscorer category went to Al Kaloida's Marci Marcovits with a collection of 8 goals on the day.

What a day, what a tournament, what a post-tournament social! See you next year!
