As we entered the final Round of games much of the Group C qualification places was still to be decided and we were very much looking forward to three intriguing matches to decide the final league standings. Events on Pitch A would rob us of this as the ugly incident involving Luminy Wolves and Atletico Nacional which saw Leones FC get involved meant we had to disqualify Leones FC from the tournament.

They were due to play Grant Thornton so it meant Grant Thornton would have one less game and would be unable to build on their 8-points tally. For this we can only apologise but we were unfortunately left with no choice.

Following Leones FC's disqualification the group table was adjusted with all their results struck from the records.

All this meant that when Alphasights met The Mavericks the table looked quite different to it did at the end of Round 4. The Mavericks had their one victory struck off and so they were now unable to make the Cup. The Plate was their best option. Alphasights, who had lost to Leones FC, were now sitting pretty knowing Cup qualification was theirs. With a victory they could claim the Group C title.

A victory proved beyond them though and after the game had run its course the points were shared with a 1-1 draw – The Mavericks third draw in five games. Manish Madhvani maintained his fine goalscoring record for The Mavericks. For Alphasights, Craig Hinde scored his second of the tournament.

The final game was Deportivo versus Team GB. Both teams had won against Leones FC so would start the game three points lighter than when they had finished Round 4.

What was at stake was Plate qualification. If Deportivo could win they would qualify for the Plate and relegate Team GB to the Trophy. Any other result and it would be Deportivo in the Trophy and Team GB in the Plate.

Deportivo made the early running to secure their future as they established a 2-0 lead by half-time. They managed to maintain the two goal advantage to the end of the game and ran out 4-2 victors. Sam Priddy scored twice, a goal from Peter Thomson Glover and an own goal helped them on their way. Two further goals on the day for Alex Wilson helped Team GB in the second half but not enough to secure a result.
