This was an excellent end-to-end game with each side in the ascendancy at different points. Bourne opened the scoring early on with a solo move carving through the away defence. They went further ahead soon after from one of number of short corners, as the initial shot connected with James Lee's foot near the goal line. The centre forward gave keeper Jon Price no chance with the resultant penalty.

These events only stiffened the South resolve, and increased pressure led to a long corner, with which Samin Ishtiaq intelligently found Gareth Hebbron, who immediately moved the ball on for Andy Lewis to sweep it into the net. The equaliser arrived soon after, when a Suk Pannu short corner reached Hebbron on the 25 yard line. As others stood around in admiration, he dribbled into the D and flicked the ball into the net, before embarking on a characteristically bouncy celebration.

Thus the game was evenly poised at 2 - 2 at half time. South went ahead early in the second half, as playmaker Stuart Creed faked to drive a free hit into the D, but instead passed it to Samin Ishtiaq who controlled the ball and confidently hit it into goal. The play began to open up as legs - particularly Bourne ones - became tired, and South grabbed a fourth mainly via Rob Barton's persistence. He arrived in the D and in spite of defensive attention managed to get a shot in, which was going narrowly wide before John Greaves stopped it and calmly slotted the ball into the net from close range. Greaves was unlucky shortly after as he turned a Creed cross just past the far post. Greaves and Barton both got the ball into the net on other occasions, but they were disallowed on technicalities (e.g. dangerous play). The Bourne keeper kept other attempts out with some brave stops.

By this stage South were able to find space and open up the home defence but couldn't add to their tally. Bourne did manage a third goal, a scrambled effort initially saved by Jon Price before being dug out by the hat-trick-making centre forward.

Once again the 3-1-3-3 formation worked for South, once the marking was sorted, and the win ensures safety in 5NW.
