Newteam is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2024, and the stage is set for a heavyweight matchup. The boys take on Tercera champions KFUM Cambridge, who earned promotion to Segunda after a 6-1-2 season. They topped the table and earned every bit of respect coming into this one.
Newteam wasn’t far behind. A strong 5-2-2 campaign locked second place, only missing the division title by goal difference to Cambridge FC. That sting matters, and it fuels this squad.
For KFUM Cambridge, this is their debut playoff run in the Patron Cup. For Newteam, this isn’t new territory. Since 2022, the club has consistently made playoff pushes and even lifted the trophy in Fall 2022. Experience counts when knockout football starts. Pressure hits different in these matches. Mentality decides everything.
Cambridge brings confidence, momentum, and promotion energy. Newteam brings history, grit, and a chip on the shoulder after missing out on first place. Both sides believe they belong here. Only one advances.
Expect intensity. Expect tempo. Expect a team that’s been here before to show up with purpose.
This one’s going to be a battle. Strap in. The boys are ready.
