Sore from a relentlessly tough League season, Knole 2nd team were drawn against league champions BLT and were badly depleted by absences. Result a predictable 4-1 drubbing, with only the wedding anniversary captain able to stem the tide. (A brief but entertaining effort by stand-in 1st string Mark Fleming gave hope to the team until he declined match ball in the first game).

The good news is that all the absentees will not be cup-tied and will be available to bolster the 1st team's push for silverware, should they reach the semi-final or final in the weeks ahead.
