This was 11th versus 6th in the league table. Six minutes after taking the lead, Broadwell had a man sent off for an alleged headbutt, with the Little Stoke player involved only receiving a yellow card, despite twice grabbing the Broadwell player by the throat and pushing him in the face during the melee that followed. Thankfully, the poor decision by the Referee to not give them both red cards didn’t affect the match as a spectacle.

Broadwell went two up, which gave them something to really hang on to, but the deficit was reduced almost immediately with a well placed header from 15 yards. In the second half, Little Stoke didn’t even manage a shot on target and Broadwell easily hung on for the three points, taking them up to fourth place in the league.
