With both teams going into the game unbeaten this looked likely to be the Stones toughest game of the season so far and a larger than average crowd were treated to a match that had everything.

Threemilestone started well and took the game to the home side (who were strengthened by several 1st team players) and were rewarded with a goal after 15 minutes, Daniel Taylor out-pacing the home defence latching onto a through ball from brother Marc. Two minutes later the scores were level, a mix up in the Stones defence allowed Spencer Knibb to score from 16yrds. In the 22nd minute the Stones were back in front, a free kick on the edge of the area allowed Anthony Caddy to drive a low ball behind the defence and Steve Howson scored with a brilliant diving header. Marc Taylor increased the lead 3 minutes later only to let Chacewater back in five minutes later when a poorly defended corner allowed Mike Cellia to score with an unstoppable volley from 18yards.

Threemilestone started the second half as they did the first, with several good efforts on goal and Dan Taylor looked to have sewn the game up for TMS when he beat the goalie to a ball near the corner flag and lobbed the stranded keeper from a tight angle. Chacewater looked beaten but scored from a free kick from 25 yards out, goalkeeper Kev Pellow getting a hand to it but being unable to stop it. Chacewater then threw everyone forward for a last frantic 15 minutes, pumping long balls into the heart of the Stones defence, who to their credit defended superbly. TMS had opportunities to run down the clock by keeping the ball but the lack of experience of the young team probably cost them all three points, when in the second minute of injury time a big kick up field from the keeper was lost in the failing light and a chacewater player managed to get a foot on the ball flicking it over the advancing Pellow to level the match and leave the TMS players and management gutted.
