Birmingham needed a win for a small chance of promotion, a Cambridge win would give them almost certain promotion to the EKL. Cambridge won a free-pass, which was missed however, followed up by a running in shot by Josh Dawes, giving them the lead. With 30 seconds to go, Birmingham were awarded a penalty which was missed. With 6 seconds to go Cambridge, having collected the missed penalty, were passing the ball out of defence and the referee called up for time wasting, the clock then stopped at 3 seconds, which allowed Birmingham to take an instant shot which was scored by Jess Beale to level the match. The match finished 7-7, therefore giving Bearsted a chance to secure a place in next seasons EKL, they went on to beat Bristol Thunder 13-7 in their final game, promoting them.
