Gareth Bale has been one of the league's star performers over the last couple of seasons and his hat-trick delivered a first WSFFL trophy to the CFJs. The first big move of the match came before kick-off. San Dimas selected Pavel Pogrebnyak to partner Peter Odemwingie and left Jon Walters out after a barren run. Theo Walcott had already been ruled out for the Saints after travel problems left him unable to get to the match. The first half was quiet. A combination of poor weather and two sides not wanting to give much away led to poor fare for the capacity Wembley crowd.

The game burst to life just after the hour mark. A defensive slip let in Bale who rounded the keeper and steered home. That setback seemed to rock San Dimas and Chris' team took advantage. Bale was given too much space and found the corner of the net on 73 minutes and completed his hat-trick 11 minutes later when slamming home from close range. Kyle Walker got a consolation clean for San Dimas but it's Chris that will be booking the open top bus and driving up and down Drove Road.
