This was the pick of the two semi finals in this section. Bedford had won the Walsall Tournament a month ago, whilst I had seen Sikh Hunters ease through to the Birmingham Tournament Final a fortnight ago.

After the second mass brawl of the match, each team had a man sent off, but within minutes Sikh Hunters levelled it up at 1-1 just before the hour mark. Bedford edged back in front and ran out comfortable winners in the end.

I had planned to do a fifth match today, which was scheduled to be on Pitch 4 (Pitch taken out of use due to being in poor condition and cracked, due to the dry weather), but it was moved to Pitch 8, which I had done earlier. I could have done a match on the main GNG pitch instead, but decided to leave that for a Leicestershire Senior League match, especially as the ground is floodlit, so ideal for a midweek trip.
