Sep 27th :: Stalham Town 2 Long Stratton 1...Stratton slipped to defeat against Stalham after a controversial penalty award, a bitter pill to swallow for the Reds who had more than the lions share of posession throughout the game. For the second successive week Stratton let an early goal in, a bouncing ball in the penalty area was headed over Wayne Manser into the net in the 6th minute. The response was good from Stratton and 11 minutes later they were level, David Robinson sliced a shot towards goal and James Barnes fired home for his 7th goal of the season. Stratton held the upper hand for the rest of the half, closest they came to scoring was when Shaun Moss put the ball in the net but the goal was dissallowed for a foul in the build-up. The second half still saw Stratton pressing Stalham back, David Storey heading just over in the 49th minute. As the half wore on it appeared Stratton might have to settle for a point when disaster struck, Stalham were awarded a penalty totally against the run of play and duly converted on 77 minutes. A final clear cut chance never came Stratton's way despite some good work from Barnes and Robinson...The Stratton Motor Company man of the match was Jimmy Dale...
