Edgbaston 6th 1 Stratford 4th 2
 
The game started similar to last weeks performance, the first half of the match was very close with neither side breaking the deadlock. However Edgbaston did have a goal disallowed, Stratford equally had some good chances at the other end but were unable to convert.
The half time team talk came under the supervision of the 4s new manager, this gave the team new motivation and they quickly picked up the pace. Despite Stratford's best efforts Edgbaston scored to go one up after a quick break. Stratford quickly responded by an exchange of passing between Phil Davey and Ed Hogg for Hogg to fire the ball into the top corner and make it one a piece. Stratford then had the edge to power in another spectacular goal when Orchard and Davey linked to set up Hogg for his second. Only the best savesd from keeper Dave Dunnett and the defensive co-ordination of Simon Cossey, Gunnell, Bruns and Whetstone kept Stratford in the game. Gunnell went on a rampage down the line, unfortunately launching his stick into a crowd of the opposition whilst trying to hit the ball. Townsin, Stagg and Furby kept up the midfield pressure and linked well to create further chances for Stratford as well as defending bravely against a young and pacey team.
Manager Moo gave man of the match to Ed Hogg and stated that "It was a good win for the team against a strong opposition."
