MC: Luke Finch (4), Josh Hart (2)
Freeland: Jamie Perkin
Cheney came away from this match with a well-earned victory, in a game where the score didn’t reflect the closeness of the two teams for much of the match. The home team started stronger with the twin strike force of Luke Finch and Jack Taylor causing the visiting defence numerous problems as they struggled to handle their pace and strength. Finch was rewarded for his hard work with a goal mid-way through the half and a second from Josh Hart gave Cheney a comfortable advantage at the break. Freeland came out in the second half with a different attitude and dominated the first quarter of an hour, scoring one goal to reduce the arrears and coming very close to leveling the score, only a finger-tip save from keeper Kevin Coles keeping them out. However Cheney found their way again, and with Stuart White dominating the midfield battle and Ed Somerton and Connor Clyne superb in the centre of defence for the last quarter of the match, Finch scored a further three goals and Hart grabbed a second to give the home side the three points.
