Match 16 saw another first timer try to stimulate the CBS offence in the name of Albert Lush. Albert gave a great effort but the scoreless streak continued. Even Pierre & Roger Power couldn't bring ascoring touch.

Gerard brought the team together for a pre game chat & brought out the 4-5-1 formation or was that the 1-5-4 formation with John "Rugby" Saunders prowling in the lone striker position. But nothing would work. Mount Pearl once again fielded a team comprising of around 20 players to CBS's 14. They opened the scoring early, about 10 minutes in, when a cross from the corner was handled by a Mount Pearl player inside the 18 and much to the chagrin of the CBS squad was not noticed by the bakeapple picker & was volleyed into the net before one could cry "
Bakeapple Jam". Mount Pearl kept pressing but could not finish. CBS's best chance of the half came when Gerard Kenny crossed the ball right through the box, about one foot from the goal line, however no one was there to tap it in. The half ended 1-Nil.

Mount Pearl netted their second marker early in the second half off a corner kick. The game became rougher after that with both sides taking liberties with each other. Pierre Gauvreau was sent to the sidelines with about 25 minutes remaining after he was on the receiving end of a vicious tackle. The whistle sounded not soon enough and another shutout loss was in the books. Final score 2-Nil..
