Due to pitch problems at their own ground, following the dry summer, this was switched to an outside pitch at Bedford International Athletics Stadium. Entrance was via the main reception, before a walk around the left hand side of the stadium and through the hedge to the pitch which runs widthways. On Google Maps it is shown with pitch markings for American Football.
Unfortunately, due to the very late arrival of the Referee, as well as quite a bit of faffing about once he actually arrived pitch side, we kicked off 21 minutes late, so once again it was a game of 2 x 40 minute halves, finishing in very poor light at 20.01.
The first half was very even, but Wilstead got on top once they went in front. Having lost 5-7 on Saturday, Wilstead were glad of the three points, whilst Marston prop up the table, having lost both of their matches 0-3.
