Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Pierce Fox got the match started through his kick off. Ivan Lynch sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 12th minute, Frankie Starr fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Jack Moss, passed just outside the right post. After 13 played minutes FC Blacks got a freekick which was hit by Pierce Fox. After a defensive mix-up in FC Blacks's zone, Frankie Starr stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jack Moss came out of the goal and Frankie Starr tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ivan Lynch received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Jack Moss tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Frankie Starr came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Kidderminster fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Frankie Starr couldn't finish the play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Deon Duckworth got free with Jack Moss in the 33rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frankie Starr in the 38th minute of play forced FC Blacks's goalkeeper Jack Moss to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 41st minute, Barrie Jennings hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Deon Duckworth charged in rather forcefully in the 42nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Deon Duckworth the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 43rd minute, Deon Duckworth hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ivan Lynch sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frankie Starr to make the kick off. Ivan Lynch scored 1-0 in the 52nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jack Moss, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 54th minute, Ivan Lynch hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jack Moss made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ivan Lynch in the 56th minute of play. Kidderminster's Ivan Lynch got a good chance for a goal in the 59th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. FC Blacks's Jack Moss played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Deon Duckworth in the 61st minute of play. Barrie Jennings kicked well hit freekick during the 66th minute of the match. When Frankie Starr, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 74 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Jack Moss was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Ivan Lynch managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kidderminster's supporters rose to their feet, but Ivan Lynch was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jack Moss breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Frankie Starr fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jack Moss having to interfere. Pierce Fox came free in the 89th minute and tried to tip the ball over Reggie Leeson, but to the joy of Kidderminster's supporters the ball went over. Frankie Starr struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. Jack Moss didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kidderminster. Despite being the better team, Kidderminster failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
