Spectators: 7387 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1737, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Victor Lawless kicked off to start the match. Jeff Dibb might have been able to make a better finish in the 2nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nial Rusby. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jeff Dibb ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 19th minute, Duncan Croxford hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

51 minutes into the game, Aaron Watson cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Silvester Furlong was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

RSC Arden's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.

Jeff Dibb scored 4-1 in the 59th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Nial Rusby, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
