Sheffield FC went into the game on the back of two straight defeats which had seen them drop to third in the table.  The game started brightly with some positive, end to end futsal and Sheffield took the lead 3 minutes in with a classic far post goal from Matthew Hammond.

Boro responded and leveled soon after when a mix up in the Sheffield Defence allowed Boro to capitalize and restore parity.  An intriguing tactical battle ensued with Boro defending deep and springing counter attacks at every opportunity.  It was advantage Boro at the interval with a 3-2 Scoreline in favour of the visitors.

Sheffield FC rallied early in the second half and began in earnest the task of overturning the deficit, now demonstrating a greater cutting edge to their possession then previously witnessed.  This was rewarded with goals from Cook and Chapman to give Sheffield the lead with ten minutes remaining.

However another trademark counter attack threatened to spoil the Sheffield party, when Boro again leveled with just over 5 minutes remaining.  A draw was looking the likely result now until a great Sheffield attack dissected the organised and resolute Boro defence. A precise, diagonal pass found MOORE alone at the back post to give Sheffield the spoils with only a couple of minutes remaining.

Sheffield FC now face league leaders Tranmere Victoria in their next game on Sunday 18th May.

Stats: Boro 3 staright defeats, Sheffield first win after 2 defeats. Both teams have a gaol difference of +5; yet Sheffield are +6 points above Boro.

The sixth UEFA European Futsal Championship in Hungary will take place from 18 to 30 January 2010 after being moved from its original autumn schedule.

Hungary venues
For the first time 12 teams rather than eight will contest the finals, to be staged between Budapest's Papp László Arena and the Fönix Arena in Debrecen. The switch from November 2009 to January 2010 was confirmed by the UEFA Executive Committee at its latest meeting in Vaduz and means the championship will now take place in even-numbered years, ensuring the competition occurs at a previously vacant slot in the UEFA calendar for maximum exposure.

Appealing to football fans
UEFA Futsal Manager Laurent Morel said: "This decision was a logical one, justified by the need for better positioning. It will surely give a further boost to the major European futsal rendez-vous. During the last UEFA European Futsal Championship in Porto, we realised it was appealing to existing futsal fans. We can only increase the interest of football fans with a final tournament taking place during the sport's winter break. It is also a better fit with the European futsal calendar." Spain won the tournament's most recent edition, in Porto in November 2007, and will be represented at both of this year's finals - the FIFA Futsal World Cup in Brazil and then the inaugural UEFA European Under-21 Futsal Tournament, which runs from 8 to 14 December in St Petersburg with hosts Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia also involved.
