The three teams once again drew strength from excellent teamwork and strong offensive play. Their coaches commended them for their resilience, which enabled them to keep the lead on the scoreboards. One player who stood out above the rest, was the first team’s man of the match, Bernard Laage. He contributed most goals and was unstoppable on the field.
