Shoulder of Mutton pulled off a 4-3 victory over Fleece with the winner coming five minutes from time when the Fleece keeper failed to hold a free kick. The game was played in very heavy conditions and Fleece got off to a cracking start when midfielder Allan Shayman received the ball in his own half and eluded the home defenders before slamming home an unstoppable shot in the first minute. However the lead was short-lived as Shoulder soon equalised. Fleece took the lead again only for Shoulder to draw level just before half time.

Both teams charged into the attack after the break and Shoulder regained the lead only for the previous week's goalkeeper, Phil Poole, now playing centre forward, scored his second to put Fleece back on terms.
