Both Brockham and Bookham needed 3 points from this game to stave off the threat of relegation. The game kicked off with Brockham playing downhill, but for 15 minutes the game didn’t get going as the ball kept running away from Brockham before they could get it under control. The stalemate was broken just before half time through Owen Knowles making a terrific run down the right and finishing superbly.
In the second half Brockham were playing uphill but that seemed to enable them to get the ball under control and they started to press Bookham. Jos Hunt, centre forward for Brockham, lost the Bookham defence and shot from distance giving the Bookham keeper no chance. Just as Brockham thought they had the game under control Bookham struck back with a well taken finish making it 1-2. Brockham continued to press and a break by Joe Rabbetts led to the cross that Jos Hunt finished. Another great strike by Jos Hunt gave him his hat-trick and Brockham a 4-1 lead. In the last few minutes Ed Russ delivered a corner into the box where Joe Rabbetts rose like a salmon to make it 5 for Brockham. A great team performance by Brockham with solid performances all round that may well have been enough to keep them in the Premier Division for another season.
