Sean Mills put Vale on their way to victory with a penalty after 30 minutes when Jacques Ogier was brought down inside the box, a challenge which was to reduce Rangers down to ten men. Martyn Moullin then extended Vale's lead with a superb 50-yard run that saw him break through the Rangers' defence and coolly slot the ball past the keeper. A battling Rangers reduced the deficit on 54 minutes and equalised on 76 mins after being awarded a penalty for handball. This appeared to rattle the home side and Rangers had a couple of chances to take the lead with one shot coming back off the bar.

St Martins 4-1 Vale Recreation
Champions St Martin's, unbeaten in five matches, went ahead after 10 minutes, but a battling Vale side more than matched the home side for long periods of the first-half, coming close to grabbing an equaliser on a number of occassions. But it was Saints who came out of the traps at the start of the second period hitting a further three goals in the opening five minutes to knock the wind out of Rec. Things got worse for Vale when referee Steve Raines somewhat harshly sent off midfielder Jack Byrne for a challenge in which a yellow card would have sufficed.
With Saints continuing to look dangerous on the attack and stroking the ball around the pitch with ease, things looked ominous for the yellows but to their credit, they continued to battle and finally pulled a goal back through Miles Pengelley. This was to be only a consolation though and the win moved Saints back to the top of the FNB Priaulx League.

the crossbar could have extended their lead. A much improved
second-half performance saw Vale press for an equaliser and striker
Sean Mills drew them level on 68 minutes with a low shot. Both teams had chances to win it late on with the best chance to steal all three points falling to sub Ross Hanley but Rover's keeper Richard Davey denied Vale the victory with a one-handed save to block Hanley's effort.
