With an extra point available for scoring 3 goals and winning your opponent by 3 clear goals. Hibs set the stall out early winning 3-1 against Les Patons. Next up was Gaulois which was pretty even, until they received 2 yellows meaning there player could not continue the current game and with no extra subs had to play the rest of the game down 1. Eventually Hibs rolled them 3-1.
Fianl game in the group against New Edge who had only a couple of decent players winning 4-2 in the end with a couple of penalties against us.

Finishing top meant we where up against Football Passion in the semi's, we fought hard to come back from 2 goals down after their sub got himself sent off and Hibs to win with a minute to go and a place in the final.

We were expecting to see the Dutch in the final, but is was Gaulois taking the spot.

This time Gaulois kept themselves steady and the game veru even, Hibs managed to go 1 ahead and kept it safe foe most of the game. Slowly Gaulois crept back into the game and started to create chance, only minor lack of concentration and they were level and pushing to the end. Hibs thought we could see it to penalties but Ca La Vie the French got the winner in the final minute.

In all, good to see some silverware. A great team effort from all, only draw back was in foot injury to Tom.

Thanks to the young guns Ishaan, Maayan & Fizzy which proved to be a good mix of experience and youth.
