East Devon C 5 Chard B 0

Chard played their re-aranged last fixture against the league Champions East Devon, the home side fielding a number of veteran players complemented by some good youth players. Chard started well despite repelling the advances of the home side and it was the visitors who had the best chance when a goal bound shot was saved, Rollo Squires follow up was saved again and James Floats shot went narrowly wide.

Shortly afterwards Chard lost two of their mature players and this put them having to re-juggle their team, East Devon scoring shortly afterwards, they then hit the post from a penalty stroke but the home side finished the half with another goal.

East Devon played good passing hockey in the second half and had Chard stretched in every area and managed to score three more goals. Chard had two late penalty corners form which they were fortunate as Steve Dares shot ricochetted off the cross bar to be pushed away just as Jones was going to fire home. Chard finish the season in a respectable sixth spot which is a good result as unlike many of the teams in the league had a mix of youth and experience. Hibbard, Dare, Mooney, Lewis.
