Stratford IV 1 Worcester V 5
 
Following their 7-0 drubbing Stratford welcomed back Peter Funnell and Nigel Wood to bolster the defence. It was soon "business as usual" as the latter kept the scoreline 0-0 following a trademark goal line clearance from a fierce Worcester short corner. Unfortuneatly Funnell couldn't match that on the other post for Stratford to go 1-0 down. The midfield was industious with Gordon Warmup and Giles Stagg dominating the middle of the park and Phillip Davey and Will Vaudry the wings. A superb run from Will Vaudry cut the Worcester defence to ribbons and Will Noble finished with aplomb. Worcesters set pieces made the difference and 2 further short corners and a penalty stroke saw Stratford go behind 4-1 a scoreline that did not reflect the balance of play. Stratford could not ake their chances and with the tempermental Will Noble yellow carded Stratford conceded a fifth, the only Worcester goal from open play. Stratford can take heart from a good perfomance against league leaders Worcester.
