Attendance: 30 (headcount)
Weather: wind and rain


Premier Division leaders Handrahan Timbers recorded their tenth win of the season with the only goal of the game scored as early as the fourth minute against bottom of the table Dudley Sports. The goal resulted from a long wind-assisted free-kick from keeper Tony Rides to the edge of the area. The ball found Hew Lewis on the left and he sent a low drive into the bottom-right corner which the diving Kevin Johnson failed to hold.

Before kick-off, Dudley Sports took the field wearing orange and navy striped shirts and were forced to change into green and white hoops. A strong wind assisted Handrahan during the first half but by-and-large ruined the game.
