Calvary visited a somewhat unfamiliar ground after Allens West was called off due to bad weather. After the iced ground had thawed there was some good football played, mainly by All Saints who were looking to do the double over their league colleagues. After a slow first ten minutes Calvary took the lead against the run of play when a cross from the right had Michael Farish drop a testing cross for Calvary to stab home from 15 yards out; Jamie Hood almost managing to head it off the line. It was level just five minutes later when Aaron Bennett worked well down the left only for his shot to be blocked and Jamie Dunn to slot home the rebound with a simple tap in. Only five minutes later and All Saints were in front; a tasty through ball by Robinson was battled by Dunn, as well as keeper and defender, who seemed to coliide (if not due to the slight shove by Dunn) to leave Dunn with the simplest of tap-ins. Bennett felt he should have had a penalty when he cut in after a short corner and was brought down, but the referee waved away any protests. It was 3-1 five minutes before half time Bennett received a good ball from John Belmont, and after rounding 3 players he slotted the ball past the keeper for a great goal!
Half-Time: All Saints 3 v 1 Calvary
The second half was a similar affair All Saints seemingly in control throughout, Stephen Farish and Jamie Hood dealing with everything that was thrown at them with consummate ease. The fourth came when Richie Robinson had a pop-shot from 25 yards out; the keeper seemed to have an easy save to make but he fumbled the ball through his legs. All Saints made it five with 20 minutes to play when the impressive Glen Hutchinson crossed after good work from Duncan McAuley to place it for Graham Walters who struck it on the volley and into the bottom corner. Several free-kicks came into the All Saints box to try and gain a consolation for Calvary but they were all dealt with to round off a good win for All Saints and leave them well clear at the top of the table.
Full Time: All Saints 5 v 1 Calvary
