FINAL: Folkestone 0 v Canterbury 3

Although the team rallied bravely, the previous matches seemed to have sapped their strength and drive and Canterbury took an early lead in the first half. Valiant tackling efforts were seen by Hobbs (captain) and Barnes in particular, but a clearly superior Canterbury took the title on the day. The use of Barnes’ boot also kept Folkestone out of even more trouble.
