Though second place in the South West Counties they were undone by their fifth-placed opponents' pace in attack and smarter passing.
Shots started with their first choice back-line of Barry Breen in goal, Nick Davies and Sean Davies fullbacks, George Hardy and Peter Hibbett in central defence. Regular midfield pairing David Stevens and Matt Madders were missing through injury, so recent signing Ben Finn and Billy Wilson started in the middle, with Craig Parker and Dan Read on the flanks. Top scorer James Clifford was supported by regular substitute Chris Lapierre in attack. James Powell, Mark Wardell and Danny Hylton were all ineligible for the competition having represented Shots first team during the season.
