This was 11th versus 2nd in the league table, with the visitors in a three way fight for the title with A.F.C. Alsager and Brereton Social. An early close range finish, that was put in following a corner not being cleared, saw Redgate Clayton go in front and they were never really tested from there on in. They made the game safe two minutes before halftime, following another corner on the left, heading in unmarked at the far post. They missed two great chances to add to their tally in the second half, which may prove costly, but were never under any pressure, in what turned out to be a very poor second half.

The win sees Redgate Clayton go top of the table on 74 points (+ 52 Goal Difference) with one game to play. Brereton Social are second on 73 points (+ 58 GD) with A.F.C. Alsager third, also on 73 points (+ 49 GD). The two chasers have two to play, but Saturday sees them clash at Alsager, so the title is going right to the wire.
