Result 4-3 win 

In the return leg of this friendly affair, the 1st XI had a number of points to prove.  Firstly they needed to avenge the defeat at the hands of Telford in the pre-season friendly at WHS.  More importanlty was the need to get back to winning ways and start the year in a positive fashion, in an attempt to build some momentum going into the resumption of the EHL on 2/3 February.
