This was 1st versus 2nd in the league table. Corfe Castle led Chickerell by a point, but this was the last match of the season for the visitors, so a win here would give the title to Corfe Castle. If Chickerell won, then Corfe would have to beat third placed Portland United Reserves away next week to win it, although with them being just 4 points behind themselves, with two matches to play, then they could also still win it. In fact, if Chickerell won today, then they could still win it if the Corfe-Portland United match was drawn.

As it turned out, Corfe won it with a last minute goal. Chickerell had been the better team for the first half, but offered very little after the break. The opening goal came from a long kick from the home ‘keeper which bounced once and was headed over the advancing away team ‘keeper from about 25 yards out. The equaliser came with a shot into the corner of the net from the edge of the 18 yard box.
