St.Paul's and Baldragon drew 3-3 in the DSA Arab Trust Senior League. In an exciting local derby which was the first ever school game on Baldragon's new astroturf it was Baldragon who took a 2-0 lead but St.Paul's hit back to equalise with 2 goals from set-pieces. Baldragon looked to have won it from the penalty spot after some shirt-pulling but St.Paul's equalised again in the dying seconds when a free kick from the right touchline was headed in forcefully for 3-3. A good crowd witnessed the baptism of the pitch and enjoyed a quality game with a draw probably about right.
