Farnham Town swept all before them to earn promotion last season, and our new boys made the trip to take on a club who were promoted a year earlier, Badshot Lea. The Baggies played some fine football last season before fatigue caught up in the closing stages, but it was the visitors who went ahead in this one, Owen Dean scoring from the spot on fourteen minutes. Four minutes later Dean had another, and the floodgates well and truly opened as Darryl Sanders made it three and Joseph Jackson added a fourth- with still eleven minutes to go until half time. The hosts finally showed some steel in the second half, and five minutes from time Harvey Harry got a goal back- but there was still time for Duarte Martins to get a fifth for the visitors.
