The first local derby of the season saw Warwick get the better of the 3rd's in a hard fought game, Warwick scored with the first move of the game a long ball from the defence finding the Warwick forward clear of the defence to slip the ball past Purser. Stratford dominated the rest of the first half but couldn't find the final pass in the Warwick D to score during the first half despite having 70% of the possession. Crucially for the game Warwick scored on the half time whistle with a rare attack, finishing neatly from a tight angle deflating the Stratford side somewhat.
The 2nd half followed the same pattern as the first half and the side missing the influence of vice captain Oli Dix at centre back continued to control the ball without scoring. Warwick scored 2 more break away goals with their own shots on target. Stratford did score with a snap shot from the edge of the D by Noble deflected in by Cawthorne. At the final whistle Stratford were deflated and left to rue a 4-1 loss despite all their hard work.
