The men's 1st team played for 58 minutes exchanging three goals a piece with Aldridge & Walsall. The visitors' centre forward then collapsed in a heap clutching his knee drawing an immediate whistle from umpire Bill Holdforth. The verdict was don't move the player until the paramedics arrive. This took nearly two hours so the captains and umpires took the sensible decision to abandon the game in favour of a replay in two weeks' time. Scorers by this point had been Dan Sulway with a trademark bottom corner Penalty Corner and the returning Jamie Glynn grabbing a brace either side of half time.
