Bow
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Steven Keng took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, Bow's Zak Swee got a free kick in the 18th minute. Ryan Braddell struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Nicholas Hee didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mangotsfield. In the 22nd minute, Steven Keng left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mangotsfield fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 26 minutes into the match, Mangotsfield's goalkeeper Clive Dyce had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zak Swee. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zak Swee got free with Clive Dyce in the 29th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 31st minute, Steven Keng ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nicholas Hee was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After 34 minutes, Ryan Braddell mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mangotsfield and the Bow players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 34 played minutes Mangotsfield got a freekick which was hit by Ryan Braddell. When Steven Keng came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Mangotsfield 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 Steven Keng couldn't finish the play. In the 39th minute, Nicholas Yip hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nicholas Hee showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Steven Keng in the 42nd minute of the match. 45 minutes into the game, Zak Swee cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Clive Dyce was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Zak Swee made a kick off. When Shahiran Dhanabalan fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Mangotsfield's protests and gave Shahiran Dhanabalan a yellow card for diving instead. After 51 played minutes Mangotsfield got a freekick which was hit by Shahiran Dhanabalan. Mangotsfield's Ryan Braddell got a good chance for a goal in the 61st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 65th minute Ryan Braddell shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nicholas Hee saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nicholas Hee took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Steven Keng, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Ryan Braddell had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bow's Nicholas Hee played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Steven Keng in the 82nd minute of play. Zak Swee struck a weak shot in the 86th minute. Clive Dyce didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bow.
