With the slimmest chance of promotion on offer, Quayle took his team to title chasers Beaminster in the hope of causing an upset, or at the very least denting the home side's chances. Initially starting with 10 men, as the skipper had waited at the wrong pickup point for Adrian Lucas, who luckily was driven to the game by his mother; Pete Tombs assumed the responsibility for the toss, and promptly lost it.

Triangle looked to have started well, after the home side inserted Quayle's men on a damp, but drying wicket. Gates fell first, bowled by sometime Beaminster first teamer Martin. The skipper didn't last much longer, as the always keen to umpire Khylo Farley triggered Quayle lbw, to a ball which Tony said "pitched two feet outside leg stump and hit the middle of his thigh pad". Khylo was soon replaced as umpire by the fuming Quayle, who witnessed a procession of Triangle's middle order.

Tom Cole fended off a slow bouncer, that got big on him, and with a quiet yelp he gifted an easy catch to mid-wicket. Tombs had looked out of sorts all season, and did little to bolster his confidence when he slashed at a wide delivery and was caught off veteran John Hollely. Dave Clifford then put on one of the bigger partnerships of the innings, 22 before he was undone by young Brown, who produced a fine 6 over spell to demolish the visitor's batting lineup. Morris, Strong and finally Dave Males were his other victims as it was left to youngsters Farley, Lucas and Dixon Jr. to rescue the innings. The miracle didn't happen as Triangle were bowled out for a dismal 79.

Beaminster went into bat as the sun shone and the wicket dried rapidly. Martin showed Triangle's bowlers no mercy as Quayle pinned his hopes on the leading wicket takers from the past two seasons to salvage some points. It was Clifford who made the initial breakthroughs removing opener Barrow and his replacement Clark in the same over. Alas that was to be the high point for Quayle, as he saw three catches spilled in the same over, the first a simple take at waist height on the boundary to Tombs, who let it bounce off him, then Lucas was unlucky to be picked out in successive balls as he failed with two spectacular diving attempts. Martin was allowed to reach his 50 by his partner, and at the same time, hit the winning runs as Beaminster reached the target in just over 12 overs.
