In a game that was doubtful right up to the kickoff due to the weather both teams gave a first class show.

Arniston was first on the attack with a run down the right by Lumbert and a clever pass to No.9 David Beattie.only a timely tackle by the home defender save the day.

In reply Pumpherson won a free on the right only for the cross to be headed over.

The home team was moving the ball and finding their men better in the heavy conditions but it was Arniston who took the lead after 15 minutes. Again a good passing move between David Beattie and Lumbert Kataleza saw the latter slip the ball to No.9 Beattie who made no mistake.

Pumpherson returned to the attack and a timely clearance by No. 2 Ali Anderson saved the day.

The home team kept up the pressure but despite some near things Bartoz and his defence stood firm and only a point-blank save from the home goalie saved them from going in two goals down.

HALF TIME

ARNISTON ONE GOAL UP

Arniston began the second half in a more attacking mind and were rewarded by a second goal which came when they were given a free kick 40 yards out. This was only partly cleared and No. 7 Fenwick cleverly gave a shot cum lob from the corner of the 18 yard box for the ball to finish high in the net at the far post.

TIME 55 MINUTES

The game got a bit frantic from then on with the home side winning a handful of corners and Arniston being dangerous on the break.

Eventually the Ref. had to hand out yellows to a few players getting over enthuastic.

Lumbert in particular was sent crashing in the closing minutes by a scything challenge.
