St Dennis 1 (McGall 19) Foxhole 7 (Bould 5, 32 pen, 40, 50 pen, Bradley Allen 18, Lowe og 61, Brown 68)

Only a mathematical miracle can prevent Foxhole from claiming the Duchy Premier division title after an emphatic victory which was never in doubt after Bould's early header from Wilkins' deep centre. Bradley Allen doubled the lead with a close-range finish, although home lone striker McGall soon took advantage of a mishap involving Morgan and Bullen. The Foxes regained the initiative and, following Wills' challenge on Aidan Dingle, their two-goal advantage was restored from the spot courtesy of Bould, who then completed his hat-trick before the break with a smart finish from Brown's outswinging corner.

The second half followed a similar pattern of incessant visiting pressure as the champions-elect settled for three further goals. Brown was again upended in the box, this time by Trudgeon; Bould duly despatched the penalty before being withdrawn to allow a welcome lengthy run out for Jowan Dingle who soon whipped in an inviting cross which Lowe could only slide past George for an unfortunate own goal. There was still a quarter of the match left when Brown made it 7-1 after clever approach work from Barnacle and Whetter, but, despite continuing to create chances, the St Dennis defence held firm despite constantly changing their personnel.

Foxhole (4-3-3): Matt Bullen; Ryan Wilkins, Nathan Papaioannou, Lee Whetter, Huw Morgan; Nathan Allen, Rory Barnacle, Aidan Dingle; Bradley Allen, Benno Bould, Chris Brown. Subs: Jowan Dingle, Martin Gilbert, Levi Kerrigan.

St Dennis ( 5-4-1): Zac George; Jordan Wills, Dave Grose, Rob Astin, Perry Harvey, Brad Lowe; Ash Taylor, Jack Carron, Sam Trudgeon, Kieran Ralph; Nathan McGall. Subs: John Pickering, Chris Cloke, Tristan Orchard.

Well done the super Foxes. Well played St Dennis. Many thanks to the officials Josh Morford, Steven Rowe and Ian Osborne.
