Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Wamberal's Broderick Newton started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Bleyd Blestowe kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. Jackson Andrusiow fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rick Pound having to interfere. In the 8th minute, Jackson Andrusiow ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Rick Pound was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. A collision led to Wamberal getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Corey Hitchen hit a great ball. Wamberal's Ringo Rhoades played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bleyd Blestowe in the 13th minute of play. 21 minutes into the match, Damon Reynolds notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Wamberal's Ringo Rhoades. Ringo Rhoades was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Berne Hilton hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Wamberal's goalkeeper Ringo Rhoades, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Damon Reynolds sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Oladdie's Rick Pound played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jackson Andrusiow in the 34th minute of play. A collision led to Oladdie getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Martyon Malacarne hit a great ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Bleyd Blestowe was the one to do the kick off. After 51 played minutes, Wamberal's Corey Hitchen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rick Pound came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Wamberal reached it. If Jackson Andrusiow had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Rick Pound stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Broderick Newton's shot from short distance in the 63rd minute. Jackson Andrusiow struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Rick Pound didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Wamberal. Oladdie's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Broderick Newton 70 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-2. If Jackson Andrusiow had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 77 minutes into the match, Wamberal's goal looked a bit too open when Bleyd Blestowe came free, but Ringo Rhoades reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 93rd minute Bleyd Blestowe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ringo Rhoades saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 94th minute, Damon Reynolds managed to get in a good position for a shot. Oladdie's supporters rose to their feet, but Damon Reynolds was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ringo Rhoades breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
