On 60 minutes Dan Tarrant shot was bundled over the line by Danny Baptiste to make it 0 – 6. After 63 minutes Dan Regan replaced Ronnie Mewes.
What followed was a crazy 17 minutes with Crayford scoring 3 goals and St Michaels playing as if the game was already won, which in reality it was but nevertheless was still very bad play from St Michaels. With 5 minutes remaining St Michaels scored goal number seven with Danny Baptiste passing to Dan Tarrant to score his Fourth goal to make the final score Crayford Athletic 3 St Michaels F C 7.
Good performances by the whole team in the first half, especially Jack Jolly and Tom Pexton in midfield and Harry Smart and Arran Amer as marauding fullbacks but Man of the Match for the second time this season goes to Dan Tarrant with his 4 goals and all round performance for the whole 90 minutes.
