Away to Holbrook Sports, on Bank Holiday Monday, a brace from Josh Smith wrapped up a 2-0 win, he netting in each half; his first, late on in the opening forty-five, came following a deep free-kick by captain Jack Cockram and was headed home at the far post, whilst the second, again late on, saw a Cockram corner headed back across goal by Elliott Bland and Smith heading in the second with minutes remaining.

The win stretched their unbeaten end to the season to eleven matches, dating back to mid-March, and during which time Branon Meehan/Archie Corrall and their back-line have kept an impressive, ten clean sheets.
