Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jason Isaac took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, Willows's Stephan Laughton got a free kick in the 9th minute. 9 minutes into the match, Earl Chute sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Raymond Macumber threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Earl Chute this time. Willows's Raymond Macumber played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jason Isaac in the 13th minute of play. After having played for 26 minutes, Jason Isaac managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Winners's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jason Isaac was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Raymond Macumber showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jason Isaac, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Lorimer Cochrane got free with Raymond Macumber in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Rusty Cubitt came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Willows 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 Rusty Cubitt couldn't finish the play. In the 39th minute the ball was on its way in behind Willows's goalkeeper Raymond Macumber, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Jason Isaac managed to get in a good position for a shot. Winners's supporters rose to their feet, but Jason Isaac was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Raymond Macumber breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Richard Tisdell sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Richard Tisdell made a kick off. Jason Isaac received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Raymond Macumber tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Randell Oreilly kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Earl Chute was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 61st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Arty Isaac kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. In the 67th minute, Randell Oreilly hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Raymond Macumber made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gregory Kinsey in the 72nd minute of play. After 76 played minutes Winners got a freekick which was hit by Corder Kaine. Richard Tisdell received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Edison Rutledge tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 81 minutes, Randolph Rhodes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Winners and the Willows players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 81st minute, Randolph Rhodes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jason Isaac fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raymond Macumber having to interfere. Rusty Cubitt blasted a shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Edison Rutledge having to make a save. 94 minutes into the match, Winners's goalkeeper Edison Rutledge had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Rusty Cubitt. Jason Isaac recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 95th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Willows had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
