JCFC Seniors continued their impressive form in Group B with a composed and clinical 2-0 victory over Mitre FC B. Tom Killeen was once again on target, maintaining his remarkable record of scoring in every game so far with a first-half strike that gave his side the lead at the break. In the second half, Pablo Martinez added a second to cap off a confident performance and secure all three points.

The result saw JCFC Seniors tighten their grip on top spot, opening up a five-point cushion over their nearest challengers. With four games played and no defeats, they look like the team to beat in Group B. JCFC Seniors are rapidly emerging as one of the standout teams of the tournament. Their consistency, both in attack and defence, has set them apart—unbeaten in four games with only two goals conceded. Their success has been built on a well-balanced squad featuring creative spark, tireless work-rate, and a cutting edge up front. Tom Killeen's goal-scoring heroics have grabbed the headlines, but the team's cohesion and tactical discipline have been just as vital. With momentum on their side and that five-point lead, JCFC Seniors are looking every inch like serious contenders for silverware.

It was worrying times for Mitre FC B whose campaigns in Barcelona and Prague had seen them get off to fast starts before seeing results tail off. With 4 points from their first 2 games and 0 from the next 2 games there were signs of a repeat here in Porto. Hopefully they could turn things around in their final group game.

 
 
 

FC Maroon and Schindler's Assist served up a thrilling contest in Group B as both sides battled hard for vital points. FC Maroon, eyeing a move closer to top spot, took the early initiative through the in-form Ben Summers, who fired his third goal of the tournament to give his side a 1-0 half-time lead. Schindler's Assist, still in search of their first points, responded admirably in the second half as Jackson Crowder pulled them level.

The drama continued with Summers once again finding the net to restore FC Maroon's advantage, elevating his status as one of the competition's top strikers in the race for the golden boot. But Schindler's Assist were not to be denied, and Crowder stepped up once again with a determined equaliser to earn his team a well-deserved share of the points. The result may not have been what FC Maroon had hoped for, but they remain well placed in the battle for Cup qualification and extend their unbeaten run to 8 games.

For Schindler's Assist, this first point of the campaign could be a turning point. Their resilience and fighting spirit, especially after falling behind twice, shows they're still very much alive in the competition. If they can build on this confidence, there could yet be a strong finish ahead.

 
 
 

Sheffield Thursday produced a composed and clinical performance in the final game of Round 4 to overcome previously unbeaten Eltham International. The key difference was Joe Morris, who struck twice in the first half to give his side a commanding 2-0 lead by the interval. His sharp finishing and eye for goal took his tally to five for the day, making him one of the leading contenders in the tournament's golden boot race.

Despite Eltham International's reputation for resilience and their strong early form, they couldn't find a way back into the game after the break. Sheffield Thursday remained disciplined, defending with focus and managing the game effectively to see out the second half without conceding. The result saw them leap into joint second place, tightening the battle for Cup qualification.

With just a few rounds remaining, Sheffield Thursday's win not only boosted their chances in the standings but also served as a statement of intent. Eltham International, still very much in the hunt, will look to bounce back and rediscover their attacking spark in the next round.
