Sungate are in Essex Olympian League Premier Division (Step 7), whilst Great Wakering Rovers are in Isthmian League Division 1 North (Step 4). This was another game played at a neutral venue, where despite there being no official spectator area, there was no problem with watching from inside the cage. Both teams had a large squad, so it was a bit of a surprise that the match was played as just 2 x 40 minute halves.

Sungate were the better side early on and led 1-0 at the break, before deservedly adding two second half goals to lead 3-0. Great Wakering pulled a goal back, with a free kick into the top corner that went over the top of the defensive wall, before adding a 25 yarder that made it 3-2 with five minutes left. If they had played the full ninety minutes, they would most likely have drawn level, as they were well on top in the dying minutes.
