The series of matches between Cyprus teams and England Kicking Cancer came to a close with another two matches (both 15 minutes each way) between Cyprus over 50s and England. The Cyprus squad was much changed but the results were the same as Monday, with England winning the first match 2-0 and Cyprus recovering to win the second match 1-0 (Cyprus scorer Mario Trinci). The matches were very tight between two competitive teams.
