Rutland has entered three teams into the same division this year and playing against the top of these three was always going to be a big test.

CSHC 4ths started brightly enough and for the first five minutes, the opposition looked very beatable. However, they started warming up soon after that. The same story repeated itself three times in the first half, leading to a half time score of 3-0 as the inability to get the ball away cleanly from sixteen yard hits lead to each of the goals. Rutland did have rather a lot of the possession and did try a few times to score with lifting flick shots. Phil Le Gouais did well to keep the score respectable for the second half.

CSHC 4ths came out in the second half looking more organised and held out well against attack after attack. The fourth goal was a very skilful flick into the keeper's top left corner and the fifth goal was another flick high into the goal. James Raikes came back to help in defence, but his only reward was one of the high flick attempts hitting his chest. The pain was compounded by being told off by the umpire for complaining about it being dangerous.

The Rutland team had quite a number of players that can easily play a couple of divisions higher and, despite the scoreline, the team played well against very good opposition.
