Trusted picked up their first trophy in seven seasons with a hard-fought victory over Claymore at a wet Old Trafford. The weather didn't dampen Trusted's start and the first serious attack brought a goal. Adam Lallana was given too much time by the Swordsmen's defence and he turned and fired in off a post from 25 yards after 13 minutes. The rest of the half passed without further worry at either end but Clive was perhaps the most relieved to get his team in at the break.

Ten minutes into the second half and Clive was ripping up the game plan after falling two behind. A low cross saw Jos Hooiveld get his feet all in a muddle and he slotted into his own goal. Claymore were throwing everything at it and pulled one back with six minutes left. The goal came from the most likely source, Ross Barkley. His all-action performance was capped by a superb free-kick going in off the underside of the bar.

The last few minutes almost saw Clive grab an equaliser. Olivier Giroud's sliding effort was blocked and Bacary Sagna had a header hacked off of the line in injury time. Beef's team hung on and become the first team to win all four WSFFL trophies.
