In the Southern Football League Premier Division match between Bedford Town FC and Halesowen Town FC, Bedford Town secured a decisive 3-1 victory. The early goal in the third minute set the tone for the match, providing an immediate psychological and tactical edge. Halesowen Town managed to equalise just over 30 minutes into the game, demonstrating resilience despite being on the back foot initially.

A significant aspect of the match was Halesowen Town's inability to capitalise on set pieces, as they secured five corner kicks compared to Bedford Town's zero, yet failed to convert these opportunities. Bedford Town's defensive organisation was pivotal in managing to subdue these threats and consolidate their lead. Effective teamwork allowed them to regain the lead in the second half with two quick goals within a six-minute span, which sealed Halesowen's fate.

Disciplinary issues prominently impacted Halesowen Town, receiving two yellow cards, leading to a red card that reduced them to ten men in the second half. However, Bedford Town was not immune to similar issues, accruing three yellow cards. Despite this, the numerical advantage post-red card bolstered Bedford's defensive resilience and restricted Halesowen's attacking opportunities. The reduction in their ranks following the red card meant that Halesowen struggled to maintain their attacking threat, ultimately costing them the match.
