From Misterton, which is in Somerset, it was just under fifteen minutes drive south, across the border into Dorset, for the second match of the day. The reason for the late kick off here was due to Waytown Hounds, who share the ground, also being scheduled to play at home today, having played their match at 2 o’clock.

This was never going to be a match of great quality, as it was bottom of the league table versus fourth from bottom. Netherbury have only won once this season and it wasn’t a good start for them as they conceded a goal less than 20 seconds into the game. They somehow managed to turn it round and led 2-1 at the interval. When they made it 3-1, with a header from a corner, nine minutes into the second half, it looked like they would double their total of matches won, but it wasn’t to be. An own goal pulled it back to 3-2, before they conceded a penalty with four minutes left to play. The ‘keeper saved the kick, but it was followed in and smashed into the top corner of the net to level it up at 3-3.
