So typical of this league, that Church, struggling for form, visit play off chasing and in form Needham Market, and come home empty handed after a single lapse lets the home side in for the only decisive strike of the game.

The home side made an edgy start to the game , and Church made the early running, and an angled shot from Whyte-Hall goes the wrong side of the post into the side netting after the ball had been moved well down the right flank.

Having found their feet, the home side created an opening on the quarter hour requiring a last ditch intercept from Sephton to clear the ball after the ball had been swept upfield in a swift counter. And a good chance on 21` minutes sees Hammond receiving the ball wide right, angling the ball in for Cowling, and the latter gets the ball quickly out of his feet to shoot across Evans but also wide of the far post for the best chance for the home side so far.

The next opening produced the game's opening, and ultimately only goal.
On 35 minutes in an almost carbon copy, the ball is again clipped wide to Hammond, and this time the ball is fed into Miles, and with the Church central defence on their heels, the Needham man prods the ball from just inside the box across Evans and in at the far post.

There is little of note in the early stages of the second half, and it is not until the 71st minute that either goal is threatened again - a good save by Evans at his near post to deny a rasping drive from Appauh.
Church were defending well, but there was no real outlet, and the ball tended to be recycled rather too quickly for the visitors' liking.

The next goal. although it never came, looked more likely to be an equaliser than a second for the home side, with Whyte-Hall and Bonnick both trying their luck from outside the box, but neither effort had the trajectory and accuracy to bother home keeper Bradbrook.
