A fantastic turnout tonight with fifteen eager players on display.
It was an incident packed game.
Henry Stewart took a worrying knock early on but after treatment to a facial wound gallantly carried on.
It was always going to be tough for seven players against eight, but the underdogs had no shortage of talent on display.
Indeed, 'the magnificent seven' were responsible for the favourite for goal of the season when Diye Wariebi scored with a scorcher that almost eclipsed David Bentley's effort the night before.
With so many good performances to chose from it took something as special as Diye's strike and all-round quality to earn him the man of the match accolade this week.

Match report 16 October 2008
Once again it was a 5v4 game.
The four comprised three newcomers, Ben Riley, Will Cole and Sam Jacobs and together with old stalwart Paul O'Connor they went 2-0 up and were a match for their five opponents until the last five minutes or so where the extra man really made a difference.
Paul and Sam fought tirelessly and Ben and Will were both strong contenders for man of the match but in the end the accolade goes to Ben Rosenbaum, who made his presence felt in all areas of the 'park' and set up or scored countless goals as well as making several crucial interceptions.
Once again Rob, Henry and Tim showed great energy and several fine touches.
There is no game next week but please make sure you keep the next four Thursdays after that free for more great football!

Match Report 6 October
Everyone seemed to thrive in the new location. If we had a few more players we would have played on the full size pitch but it adapted neatly to our 4v3 match.
Newcomer Tom Holland showed great energy and verve; Lionel, as usual, thrived making spaces and threading neat through balls that dissected the opposition.
Graeme, Ben and Paul were a formidable force and took a 2-0 lead but were eventually overcome largely thanks to the efforts of man of the match Jon Ormrod, whose welcome return to the pitch was stamped all over with class.
