With a hard overnight frost, it meant a game on an artificial pitch was the safest option today. I opted for this match, where Step 11 was hosting Step 8, as third place in Sevenoaks & District League Premier Division (P5 W4 L1) faced fourth place in Kent County League Division 1 Central & East (P9 W8 L1).

In the end the gap in playing levels between the two clubs was just too much for Leigh to overcome. Cuxton went ahead after ten minutes, finishing left footed with a shot into the bottom corner of the net from just inside the 18 yard box. They never really looked like relinquishing the lead and despite only adding to their tally in the last minute, curling a shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards, they comfortably coasted through to the next round.

This now completes the top division of the Sevenoaks & District League for me. Hopefully Leigh will return to their village ground one day, where I never saw them play. It currently only stages their reserve team matches.
