23. Naik (C)
2. Dodsworth
18. L'argent

Bench:
39. Boudier

The team gave a reasonable account of themselves despite having no recognised goalkeeper but eventually succumbed to mounting pressure as they lost 7-1. James Naik scored in the first-half to make the game 2-1 to Destination with a superb finish, but in the end the experience of Destination was too much to that of the WHB side told and they ran out comfortable winners despite the best efforts of Man of the match Matt L'argent.
