Round 2 started with FC Radbroke versus Old Sedcopians Academy.

Having picked up a 3-0 walkover, this game would represent Old Sedcopians Academy first game on the field of play. They would have a difficult opening task against FC Radbroke.

FC Radbroke were looking for title #3 and were sure to be contenders as they made their eighth eurofootballfives appearance. They were previously victorious at the 2011 Prague Masters and 2013 Algarve Open. In previous tournaments they were only knocked out by other eurofootballfives.com winners – Bulgaria's Lozenetz City (Prague Masters 2009, Manchester Fives 2010) in the Cup Quarter-Finals of the 2009 Barca Fives and Spain's Futbol City in the Cup Semi-Finals of the 2010 Valencia Fives. This trend continued in the 2012 Mallorca Tournament when they went out in the Cup Quarter-Finals to eventual winners Cosegur Balear of Spain. At the 2014 Budapest Fives they drew a tough group and qualified for the Plate competition which was as strong as some Cup competitions that we've had in the past – they duly went on to win it to become one of a few number of teams to win both Cup and Plate trophies. A weather effected 2015 Amsterdam Fives saw them finish as top goalscorers in the group phase but finish 3rd in Group B. Storm Zejko curtailed the tournament before the knock-out phase – a completely freak occurrence that should not be repeated under the blue skies of Mallorca.

The sun was indeed shining on FC Radbroke who followed up their 6-0 opening victory with a 2-0 win here. Old Sedcopians Academy put in a good performance and it was pretty even for long periods. It was 0-0 at half-time before Pete Armstrong and Mike Brandon struck the winning goals in the second half.

Game 5 of Group C was Mambos versus No Wille's. No Wille's had suffered a 6-0 defeat in the opening round of fixtures and were looking to bounce back to kickstart their campaign. The last thing they needed was to face a team who came into the game off the back of a 10-0 win.

Mambos were devastating in their 10-0 demolition of Los Lechones and whilst this was a tougher fixture they still had more than enough to secure their second victory of the tournament. Rob Croll, David Joyce and Duane Holmes all added to their goals in Round 1 as Mambos ran out 4-1 victors.

No Wille's did score their first goal of the day and they had played arguably the toughest two teams in the group so hopefully for them things would get easier for their remaining fixtures.

To complete Round 2 we had Los Lechones versus Son Gual. Los Lechones would pick-up a 3-0 walkover win.
