Today’s match saw 3rd in Division 4 host 4th in Division 5 South. Old Albanians S.A. had a comfortable start in their defence of the trophy they won by beating Old Cholmeleians II in last season’s final. They missed an early chance to go ahead from the penalty spot, but the kick was well saved. It wasn’t long before they broke the deadlock however, when a long ball was flicked on and the striker coolly lobbed the ’keeper. The same player doubled their lead, shooting through a crowded box from 16 yards, before the game was put beyond reach a minute before halftime, when a ball from out on the left hand touch line was totally misjudged by the ’keeper, ending up in the far corner after it bounced over his head. The second have drifted to a conclusion, with a few chances for the hosts,, but the goal tally never looked like being added to.
