As the two teams spent the first 10 minutes trying to find each other's weaknesses, it was the Engines who controlled play for the most part and saw the better of the chances. As the game progressed, it was this run of play that eventually led to a Beer Engine goal, as a Andy Leach played a through ball to C. Zewiske at the top of the box and was rewarded for his run off the ball, as he buried the return flick for the 1-0 lead. That was all the Beer Engines would need as a stellar defensive effort from a revamped back line and a conscientious effort in goal kept the Knights off the board. New addition, Mark David, showed a fine finishing touch early in the second half, to open his Beer Engines account and make the score 2-0, and C. Zewiske added a late insurance goal to make it 3-0.
The Gaffer did some late switching of positions, specifically allowing A. Bommarito, in a moving return to action following a horrendous knee injury the previous season, to move to the striker position, and moving other players to unfamiliar roles in an attempt to judge the ability of the squad members, but the score remained the same, a final of 3-0. The Beer Engines maintained their fine road performance from last as they came, they saw and they conquered.
Next week, May 9: Thresher #3 vs. C-Sub-60.
