Gonzalo Ferrari (7)
Benjamin Urquiza (6)
2024 Performance:
Four Quarters Black got to the final of the 15 goal Royal Windsor Cup, unbeaten after 5 games before they went on to defeat Aureus 9-4 to claim the title of one of the largest tournaments in the UK with 24 teams playing for the coveted trophy.
The team's success is down to their team strategy where player positioning is key. They use Tomas Ballesteros and Gonzalo Ferrari well in midfield, interchanging positions and using small interplays to overcome defence while Benjamin Urquiza provides a strong final defensive post, a tough player to get around and an expert in turning defensive plays into advantageous attacking plays. Romilla Arber is great up front, always taking her man with her to alleviate the defensive pressure in the midfield and as a result of taking her man she is always well placed to receive pinpoint passes up from her teammates. She is often found undefended up by the goal and is therefore a valuable scoring asset to her team.
