I received no reply from either club on Twitter as to whether this was going ahead okay, but a text message to the BWD Manager was replied to within minutes, confirming venue and kick off time. The 3G pitch here at The Mountbatten School is the regular home ground for BWD. It’s the standard cage set up, with spectator access along the near side, stretching about 30 odd yards each side of the halfway line.

The match was 13th versus 15th (out of 16). BWD took an early lead, following in to score with a follow up shot, after the initial effort was saved and it looked like it might have been enough to win it, as there were very few clear cut chances created. Liss drew level with fifteen minutes left, when a cross from the right was half blocked but fell perfectly for a first time finish into the bottom corner. Six minutes later they grabbed the winner, heading in powerfully from a corner on the right. They could have added a third, when they were awarded a penalty in stoppage time, but it was well saved by the ‘keeper.
