After a dull goalless draw in the league a few days earlier the fans were hoping for at least some action. They only had to wait 22 minutes and it was Mega Bucks that made the breakthrough. A low ball from the left came across the edge of the six-yard box in that ‘should the keeper come and get it or leave it’ territory. He left it and Michail Antonio stuck out a leg to poke Dave’s team ahead. The lead was doubled six minutes before the break. Jack Harrison got in behind the Aardvarks defence and while his first shot was saved he smacked the rebound in at the near post.

The Aardvarks couldn’t break their goal drought after the break and in the end it was a comfortable win for the Mega Bucks who now have to find the keys to their trophy cabinet after more than 20 years.
