Garnett B came into this game after a couple of disappointing draws knowing that they couldn't afford to drop any more points this early in the season. Barnstoneworth themselves had not started the season as well they had wanted to so the game was always going to be interesting and keenly contested.

The game started quite brightly with both teams attempting to take a hold on the game, Barnstoneworth were probably having more possession but Garnett were looking more dangerous when they attacked. A few half chances were spurned before a break down the left lead to a slight scramble in the Barnstoneworth defence and Rutherford was on hand to break the deadlock with his weaker right foot. This breakthrough settled the Green and Black and they started to exert some control on the game as Jones, McMillan and Kent all having decent efforts. Ford then released Holme down the inside right channel where he was promptly upended in the box for a stonewall penalty which Jones duly converted with ease. Half time 2-0.

The half time team talk focused on how Garnett had not been brilliant but still led and that complacency was not acceptable. The warning was taken on board and McMillan struck to make it 3-0 with a great header from a superb Holme cross. The game could have been done and dusted as Garnett wasted chances to kill the game off.

Barnstoneworth were then handed a lifeline as a superb finish finally beat the ever-impressive Scott. This gave them the lift they needed and with 15 minutes to go Barnstoneworth began to throw everything at Garnett. The game could have been settled when three or four chances for 4-1 were squandered.

With two minutes to go Barnstoneworth pulled another one back as a lucky deflection in the box fell kindly for an opposition player to just about beat Scott. This led to a grandstand finish as Scott pulled off another fantastic save from a flick-on at a free kick harshly awarded against the immense Powers, this save turned out to be the last touch of the game as Garnett held their nerve to hold onto their unbeaten run for another week.
