Chatham Dorset's trip to the hut to face Div One leaders Rainham 1 was boosted by the inclusion of Dean Chipperfield in their line-up and he duly completed his 3rd maximum in two weeks. He did, however, have to come back from 2 legs down to overcome Rikki Clarke. This was Rikki's first defeat of the season. The home side won all remaining points to maintain the Div One top spot and complete their 11th straight win. Mark Steeden and Dave Barr were both too good on the night for Phil Humphries and Slav Arnaudov. Dorset remain in 8th spot just above the drop zone.
