Leigham Bennett Testimonial Match
The testimonial finished one a piece, Nick Hawtin scoring for the 2004 side, Steven Gates replying for the 'select 6'. In true testimonial style, the game went to penalties. Sadly things didn't go quite to plan when Franco saved Leigham's penalty with the last kick of the game!
It was a great sendoff for the legendary goalkeeper.
