Kendall C had a narrow 2 - 1 loss to top of the table Holliston in Madison Park. Playing some of their best football of the season, the boys were unlucky to be two down at half time. Dominating possession in the second half, the C team pulled one back through Cobhan Philippson with about 15 minutes to go and despite a lot of last minute pressure were unable to get the equalizer. A disappointing end to a frustrating season for the C's.

Paul Garvey & James Canny came closest to nicking the winner for Kendall, the latter coming within inches of converting a fine cross from Uarlington Almeida with the very last touch of the match.
Kendall's O30Bs saw their chances of making the playoffs recede with a 3-1 defeat to Mefield in Dedham. Medfield started stronger and a defensive slip put them 1-0 up after 15 minutes. Kendall fought back to make it a more even contest and Andy Devey scored a poacher's goal after great work on the left by Dennis Cunningham to level the scores.

At the other end, Kendall player-manager Johnny Kilpatrick hit the crossbar after a great pass from Tomislav Zovko. Just as Kendall was getting on top, Medfield scored again to make it 2-1. Kendall threw everyone forward in search of an equalizer and created a couple of good chances but were caught on the break at the end as Medfield made it 3-1.
