Shepshed Dynamo 1 Heather St Johns 0

A worthwhile run out against a youthful and competitive Heather St Johns side who could be well worth a look out in the Midland Football Alliance Division 1 next season. The winning goal was headed home by Jack Ball from David Hind's cross all available squad members had a run out and those available on Saturday now face the sterner test against Evo Stik Division 1 South side Gresley on Saturday.
