After three weeks without a game it was good to get back into action although conditions were not so good, with gale force winds blowing diagonally across the college pitch.
Defending against the howling wind in the first half things were looking good as school rarely troubled Pellow with a shot on target and we even managed a few goal attempts at their end, but after twenty five minutes Tim Grose in the left back area slipped as he tried to turn with the ball and presented their man with an easy run in and his shot from twenty five yards sailed past pellow. The score remained 1-0 until half time with the ball seaming to be out of play more often than in.

With the strong wind behind us in the second half it seemed that goals would soon come our way but after a couple of minutes of the start it was 2-0 to the school, and the Stones were in a state of shock. Eventually after seventy five minutes Marc Taylor slipped between two defenders trying to play him offside to score and give the side a massive boost. Ten minutes later the scores were level as R.Stephens scored the goal of the game with a run from his left back spot through midfield to the right hand side of the penalty box where he unleashed a wind assisted shot which gave the goalie no hope. A draw looked likely but in the last few minutes a succession of corners gave the hosts a few nervous moments and Anthony Caddy's in swinging near post corner caused panic in the six yard box an attempted clearance seemed to hit Lee Fairley on the arse and bobble into the corner of the net to steal the three points with the last kick off the game.
