HIGH FLYERS!

Back-to-back Joy for Airbus and Debut Delight for Legal Eagles Shepherd & Wedderburn

This year’s Willow Cup concluded last weekend at Amsterdam’s De Pijp Sportcentrum. The Super Saturday saw two keenly-contested groups played in a great spirit.

In Group A, last year’s winner Airbus defended their title with an excellent victory in the big, high-noon showdown, Ciaran O’Rourke’s goal against the impressive Interserve proving invaluable. Search Tech finished third ahead of brave debutants NCP.

Group B saw another close affair – Glasgow-based Shepherd & Wedderburn coming through to claim the trophy on goal difference from Land Securities. However Selftrade and Merrill Lynch, who defeated the eventual group winners, made sure the excitement continued right until the final whistle.

Saturday’s winners joined the previous week’s trophy-takers RBS Manchester as group champions.

GROUP C

A RIGHT ROYAL DAY!

RBS Manchester Hit the Highs at Van Hogendorp

The Willow Cup kicked off at Amsterdam’s Van Hogendorp Sportcentrum on 8 March. After some tremendous futsal action, it was RBS Private Banking who took the coveted trophy ahead of a sprightly Informa team. However, last year’s winners Carling and Trafigura more than played their part in a hugely enjoyable group.
