The first half was close-fought, with the Auctioneers coming off three-two up thanks to a 30-yard wonder goal from Chris Oliver. In the second half the Dealers' impressive approach play began to tell and the ball found the back of the Auctioneers' net with increasing regularity.

Despite sustained pressure towards the end of the game, the Auctioneers were unable to add to their first half score and the Dealers came away with a 7-3 victory.

Among the spectators was comedian and Match of the Day 2 presenter Kevin Day.

After an afternoon to forget in goal, Auctioneers' captain Addison Gelpey more than made amends with the gavel at the charity auction, where his bravura performance helped the total raised to £8500.
