Day 2 witnessed an epic semi-final against LCC Radotin. Spencer pulled into a 6-2 lead with 15 minutes to play but the Czech champions scored three without reply to shred the nerves before James Mearns scored with 30 seconds remaining to restore a two goal cushion and ice the game. Wow!
In the other half of the draw, the Swedes, Farsta Cobras shocked Stockport with a 6-5 win in overtime. The game stats show it was tight throughout with both teams trading goals but Stockports 29 shots to only 14 from Farsta shows the Northern League champions had plenty of the ball, but with a 75% save ratio, the Farsta goalie was on fire. Wow!
In the final we beat Farsta Cobras 13-3 to bring home the trophy!
