Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Farrokh Emad got the match started through his kick off. When Shahrdad Iranian came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Great Bookham 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 Shahrdad Iranian couldn't finish the play. When Great Bookham's Nader Eshkevari in 6 game minutes managed to cut through with the ball in front of the goal, only having to shoot. Parviz Memarzadeh guarding the goal like a pit bull was extremely focused and managed to reach the ball just by the crossbar before it went in. In the 6th minute, Taher Baghaei Naeeni hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

The match ended in a win for Beckermet AFC.
