Because
of a high number of teams playing the North Atlantic Cup and because of an obvious
lack of time on a three day week-end, the 2007 Phoenix
Shield could not be played with all clubs, such as in 2006.
The Irish organisors
have then take the wise decision to come back to the initial tournament formatof
this shield with matches between "national" teams of England, Scotland, France and
Ireland.

In this tournament, the team of France was made of (from left to right on the picture): Jérôme Harel (V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic), Jean-Pierre Malandain (V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic), Sylvain Valentin (V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic), Jean-Michaël Languille (V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic), Alain Derly (E.S. Gervais-Lilas), Stéphane Malandain (V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic), Claude Beja (E.S. Gervais-Lilas) and John Pelourdeau (E.S. Gervais-Lilas, not on the picture).
A victory
gave 3 points, a tie: 2 points, a defeat: 1 point and a forfeit: 0 points.
If, after all qualification
matches, two teams had the same number of points, the decision between both
teams would have followed the conditions below (in order of priority):
- their match result
-
overall goal-average
- number of goals scored
- number of goals lost
to the opponant.
