The western sidehas theonly stand in the ground - this consists of a slightly raised concrete platform which runs from near the southern end to just beyond the half-way line. Most of this is covered but the area by the half-way line has no roof. In this stand there are 31 seats on the raised concrete section and 22 seats in front of this giving a total of 53.

They managed only to deflect the ball into the patch of Daniel Cunningham who shot low into the corner from 6 yards out. In the 76th minute Campion stretched their advantage when a throw-in on the right went to Ben

The scoring was rounded off in the 86th minute when Eli Hey picked up ball 30 yards from goal, ran to the edge of the box and shot low towards goal.
