Goal: CV- Jordan Sandiford 80
Millers; Morgan, Osborne, Matthews, Potter, McDonagh (Dobson 83), Craig, Rogers, Warren, Gross P (Walker 67), Bonbon, Elliott (Sandiford 75)
The Millers fell at the first hurdle in a match played as a test for Hendon's new ground at Silver Jubilee Park. After a difficult journey to West London for many the home side stormed into an early lead and set the tone to follow. Jordan Sandiford's goal for the Millers five minutes after coming on as a 75th minute substitution was a mere consolation.

The Millers also played a London Senior Cup Final at Silver Jubilee Park
