This was Southern League Division 1 Central (Step 4) versus Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division (Step 5) and was played on the brand new 3G pitch at Kings Langley School. It is a typical cage set up, with standing along three quarters of one side, with both team ‘benches’ setting up on the far side.

It was another game where both teams fielded almost completely different teams in each half. The first half was very tight and after having hit the post midway through, Kings Langley broke the deadlock when a cross in from the right was finished from close range eight minutes before the break. An angled shot into the far corner saw Dunstable draw level six minutes into the second half, but Kings Langley restored their lead minutes later, heading in from six yards. Having added a third goal, they made it 4-1 with the goal of the game, scoring direct from a free kick on the edge of the D, before Dunstable rounded off the scoring with five minutes left, finishing from close range, after a cross from the right was half blocked and followed in to make it 4-2.

Another night of dismal weather, but thankfully the drizzle disappeared early in the second half.
