With neither regular home venues of the two clubs being available to host the game tonight, it was played at Ware Youth F.C. There’s a decent sized car park, to the left as you enter off the roundabout in Fanhams Hall Road, with the clubhouse/changing room building to the right. Tonight’s game was played on a pitch in the far left hand corner from the entrance and was roped on all four sides. In the right hand corner there’s a pitch with a couple of brick dugouts, but this is now set up for 9 a side games, rather than being a full size pitch.

The match was a slow burner and certainly wasn’t lacking in commitment from either team, even if chances were at a premium. The closest we came in the first half to a goal, was a free kick from Ware that hit the crossbar. Just before the hour mark a penalty saw Oxhey go in front and it looked like that might have been enough to take all three points, but Ware drew level with eleven minutes left, when a cross from the right managed to evade everyone in the box, going in off the far post, possibly aided by a deflection. With two minutes left they grabbed a winner, when another cross from the right was swept in at the far post.
