This was 7th versus 1st in the league table and there was quite a gulf between the two sides. Sturminster Marshall have already been crowned champions, having won 19, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their league matches this season. They have also amassed a goal difference of +90 before tonight’s match.

The visitors played well within themselves and only did what they needed to. Neither team were helped by a dreadful pitch that is in desperate need of a cut. It could also do with being a bit narrower for this level of football. It was around 80 yards wide, which meant the players taking the corners were struggling to reach the near six yard box with their kicks! Wool did come close to scoring a couple of times, hitting the crossbar twice, with the ‘keeper well beaten on both occasions, but at least they managed a consolation goal near the end.
