Threemilestone have always put in good performances against teams from higher leagues, but in this game we failed to deliver our usual high standard mix of slick football and good honest hard work. Praze were only an average 1st division side with a very good striker and little else and the sort of side we would usually have a chance of adding to our list of recent scalps.
We started the game very badly, unable to play simple passes and failing to make a decent challenge. It was no surprise that Praze went ahead after only ten minutes. Praze then failed to build on their lead due mainly to the constant heading out of defence of Ian Jay. Just as half time approached it looked like we had turned the corner and were going to give them a good go in the second half, but a poor few minutes saw us concede two and finish the half 3:0 down.

The second half started a little better and Marc Taylor pulled a goal back when a Praze goal kick went straight to Taylor, who volleyed it straight back in with the keeper stranded outside his goal. After a series of good free kicks from Anthony Caddy that gave the Praze defence problems Taylor found the net again, sliding the ball under the keeper from four yards. Despite this mini comeback the mistakes were still being made and anything loose was being picked up by the Praze midfield, who fed the ball to the tall and talented front man. He made the most of his chances to add three more goals in the last twenty five minutes to leave the stones well beaten, although sub James Bright did have the ball in the net once more only to see the ref disallow it for a bit of pushing.
