Jeanfield made the trip to Crieff to face Vale of Earn AFC in the League. The first half saw little to separate the two teams, and the windy conditions made it challenging for both sides to assert dominance. Unfortunately, on the 19th minute, N. McNicoll had to be substituted after a Vale striker landed on his leg.
The second half began, and on the 55th minute, amidst a debate about a potential throw-in, Vale managed to slip the ball through to their striker, who appeared to be offside. He capitalised on the opportunity, going one-on-one with the keeper and opening the scoring.
Despite Jeanfield's attempts to equalize, they struggled to trouble the opposing keeper. Towards the end of the match, captain K. Mitchell attempted to challenge the keeper for the ball but ended up injured, with his knee seemingly dislocating momentarily.
As the final whistle blew, Vale of Earn AFC claimed the three points with a 1-0 victory over Jeanfield Swifts AFC.
