Bank holiday Monday saw Millwey Rise Reserves travel to Tedburn St Mary for their last match of the season. From the start they put the home side's goal under pressure but it wasn't until the 25th minute that Rise took the lead when Cameron Board's corner kick found the head of top scorer Jack Bennett who powered his header home from close range. This stirred Tedburn into life and they started to find their feet while Rise sat on their laurels and paid the penalty when they conceded a sloppy goal to leave honours even at the break.

Shortly after the start of the second period Millwey were forced into an early substitution with Alex Osborne being replaced by Leon Gage-Wilks making his first ever appearance for the team. Rise were soon back in front with a goal made by Owen Enticott who coolly crossed for Zak Meaker to head home.

Leading 2-1 Millwey took control and had a couple of good chances before eventually going ahead 3-1 when Luke Thurlow's constant endeavours were deservedly rewarded with a goal..

Millwey's managers Terry Male and Mark Enticott were over the moon with everyone of their players on the pitch. Man-of-the- match went to the persistent Luke Thurlow with Male also adding "I was really impressed with James Edginton, Jacob Jenkins, Leon Gage-Wilks and Conor Field who all played their parts in helping us secure our welcome victory".
